Eyres on the Road - Feb 06, 2021

Show notes

Today on the show, Richard and Linda talk about spiritual stories related to the family--about prayers for children, prayers about family decisions like when to have a baby, prayers about helping children with decisions or with problems.

Show notes

Polls show that while only about 40% of Americans refer to themselves as "Religious", upwards of 80% call themselves "Spiritual." In essence a spiritual person is one who believes in something higher that he or she can connect with. On today's podcast, the Eyres talk about spiritual encounters of the common kind and tell "spiritual stories" of their own, concluding that, for them, the deepest spiritual connections involve Christ and center around family relationships.

Celebrity Stories Jan 23, 2021

Show notes

On today's show, Richard and Linda tell us some stories about personal encounters they have had...at the White House, and with Oprah, Kathy Lee Gifford, and others and how people of real character, even though in the glare of the public eye, manage to maintain strong internal values and family priorities. The bottom line is that whether a person is famous and wealthy or common and unknown, what really matters is his or her family relationships and values.
