Patrick's callers share potent personal stories, driving home the undeniable impact that separation has on the youngest hearts. Patrick explores the 'poisonous tree' of divorce, discusses the need for profound healing, and reminds everyone that through all the pain, hope and redemption are possible. Love and the presence of a parent are irreplaceable gifts to a child, much more than any material provision. For anyone affected by divorce or striving for healing in their families, this episode offers a beacon of wisdom and guidance. Matt - Is there a bible study that talks about the New Testament in light of the Old Testament? Adam - I think the discussion between the daughter and father over social media is not productive. I don't think that she should have posted about her dad, and the dad should have called her first. They should both be ashamed of themselves. (07:13) Christina - I am from a divorced family. It doesn't matter how much money the parent gives. You still need them to be there and show affection. (17:13) Maria - If I am in grace but my family members in my house are not in grace, will that effect the three days of darkness? Joe - I was listening to the Merry Beggars and got really emotional during one of the episodes. How do I know if that was the holy spirit or not? Melony - Regarding the dad who left: I think that the girl is young and trying to communicate with her dad. I am a child of a divorced family and later in life my dad tried to build a relationship but his new wife was not interested in it. Carrie - I don't think you can expect someone in their teens to be the best at expressing themselves. I think the Dad really messed up with what he said. (37:23) Debbie - I am a divorced Catholic but I am still friends with my ex-husband. He just got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. If he dies what will my status in the Church be?

Are you fearful about the impact that AI could have on society? You're not alone. Workers in Hollywood are on strike, and this has a lot to do with their concerns about being replaced by artificial intelligence.  In this podcast episode of The Drew Mariani Show, Drew interviews Peter Atkinson, who is in charge of The Merry Beggars, the entertainment division of Relevant Radio. They discuss several key topics: The Writers Strike: They talk about the ongoing strike by the Screen Actors Guild and the Writers Guild of America against the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers. This strike has disrupted the entertainment industry, affecting talk shows, movie releases, and TV series. Discussion on Residuals and Streaming: They delve into the topic of residuals in the context of streaming services. Unlike traditional broadcasting, streaming platforms don't generate additional revenue through advertising when content is rerun, which affects how actors and writers are compensated. Impact of AI in Hollywood: Peter Atkinson points out that the strike is partly a response to the rise of artificial intelligence in the industry. AI has been used for various purposes, including performance capture, de-aging actors, and even cloning the voices and likenesses of deceased individuals to create content. This shift raises concerns for actors and writers about job security. Peter gives his own opinion about AI and how he doesn't believe it can actually produce excellent content right now.  The Merry Beggars' new audio series: They introduce The Merry Beggars' new audio series called "The Saints: Adventures of Faith and Courage." This weekday series shares dramatic and inspiring stories of saints. It's available through the relevant radio app and on thesaintspodcast.com. Peter assures you that this audio series was not produced with any AI and relied on real voice actors and producers to create the podcast.
