The Simple Truth
The Simple Truth, hosted by Jim Havens, airs each weekday from 4-5PM(EST) on The Station of the Cross Media Network. The focus of the show is authentically receiving, living, and transmitting the simple Truth of Jesus and His Catholic Church. We're in challenging times, but we are made to rise up and meet the challenges before us with Christ. We'll be proclaiming all that is good, true, and beautiful, applying it to real life, and we won't shy away from the difficult topics, especially lifting up the truth in those areas where it is most unpopular, and therefore most needed. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states: "The disciple of Christ consents to 'live in the truth,' that is, in the simplicity of a life in conformity with the Lord's example, abiding in his truth. "If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not live according to the truth." Join us live on the radio, on YouTube, Facebook, or listen to the podcast!

2/21/24 - Saint Hyacinth, also known as Saint Hyacinth of Poland, was a Dominican friar who was known for his piety and dedication to spreading the Gospel. He is said to have performed numerous miracles throughout his life, including healing the sick and converting unbelievers. One of the most famous miracles associated with Saint Hyacinth is the legend of the "Miraculous Catch of Fish." According to the story, Saint Hyacinth was preaching to a group of people near the Vistula River when he asked them to bring him food. When they were unable to provide him with anything to eat, Saint Hyacinth prayed to Our Lady for help. Miraculously, a huge shoal of fish suddenly appeared in the river, allowing the people to catch more than enough food to feed themselves and Saint Hyacinth. Our Lady, also known as the Virgin Mary, is a central figure in the Catholic faith and is revered by Catholics as the Mother of Jesus. She is believed to have interceded in countless miracles throughout history, offering her protection and guidance to those in need. Join us as we explore the powerful stories of faith, miracles, and divine intervention surrounding Saint Hyacinth and Our Lady.

2/12/24 - We recently received the following request: "I can't sleep. No matter what I take…please if you could devote a show to the subject of how to get a good night's sleep. I get by on only 2 to 4 hours a night." We'll address it today, along with how to optimize a great night's rest even if it's not as long as you'd like it to be. Are there things you can do to be as well rested on 6 hours as others are on 8 hours? We'll also offer some hope and help for those struggling to get to sleep and stay asleep - all within the big picture of our Catholic Faith.
