Catholic Moments #107 – Jerry Weber
Jerry Weber is a California and San Diego County native. Jerry is a former liberal who spent most of his teenage years mixed up with drugs and a very dysfunctional home life. Feeling called by God to turn his life around at 17, Jerry — a lifelong Catholic — found himself attending Mass and graduating high school a semester early. Now at age 31 Jerry has grown into a proud Catholic with more conservative values than he would have ever imagined. Struggling to be a better Catholic, on top of dealing with anxiety and depression issues, Jerry shares his story on how God and the Church have and will continue to transform his life, how dealing with an anxiety disorder has affected his spiritual life, and how others can learn from his story.

Catholic Moments Episode 107: Deacon Tom presents a final challenge that I need to take seriously. Could my wife and I be a part of the challenge? I am asking myself, not Deacon Tom. Am I, after 33 years, in the mindset of the covenant with my wife? Is she with me or do I see it if she is? Much to think about. Thank you for this 4 wek lesson.
Thank you for Catholic moments podcasts. I’d like to be entered into the drawing for the marriage books and I also wanted to let you know how much I enjoy the podcasts. I often listen to them while working in the kitchen and during my children’s naps. It is like listening to good friends and allows me to ponder more interesting things than potty training. Deacon Fox always strikes me with his kind and gentle way and I completely love the Mary Moments as I’m trying to learn more about our Blessed Mother and foster a devotion to her. The interviews are so great and I always enjoy my time spent with you all even if I’m also doing a load of dishes.
Thanks,
Jamie
