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!

7/31/23 - Are you familiar with the childhood vaccine schedule in the United States? How many shots do you think are scheduled for the first 15 months after birth? The answer may surprise you, which raises some questions: are all of these REALLY necessary? How should recent developments with big pharma affect how we view and trust the vaccine schedule? And most importantly, how can we best protect our children in these crazy times?

7/27/23 - The priesthood is a sacred covenant with God and his Holy Catholic Church. What does that mean for the way that a man must carry himself day-to-day after becoming a priest? How much responsibility does the average priest hold, and what is he expected to do to fulfill those responsibilities? We're seeing more and more men failing to fulfill their priestly duties... so what does that mean for the future of the priesthood and the church as a whole? Catholic priest Fr. Jeff Fasching returns today to offer his thoughts on the nature of the priesthood. To support Fr.

7/21/23 - Why has the corporate pro-life movement become so willing to stand on the sidelines while innocent lives are taken? We're seeing examples of this seeping into popular culture in the soft approaches that Republican Presidential candidates are taking when pressed on the abortion issue. There seems to be an idea that "limiting" abortion is sufficient, rather than pushing for abolition. This raises the question: what happened to real pro-lifers Post-Dobbs?

7/19/23 - On last week's edition of Wonder and Awe Wednesday on The Simple Truth, we covered Our Lady of Beauraing, an apparition that occurred in Belgium. But did you know that about 50 miles from Beauraing, in a town called Banneux-Notre Dame, another Marian apparition took place? Our Lady was said to have appeared to 11 year old Mariette Beco eight times. Among Mary's messages is one that is simple but firm: "Believe in me and I will believe in you." Today we'll take a look at Our Lady of Banneux, which has since been approved by the Vatican.
