Program Spotlight: Called to Communnion

"I didn't grow up thinking I would be a Catholic radio host:" says Dr. David Anders, host of the EWTN radio show Called to Communion.

Dr. Anders studied his Protestant faith extensively in college and seminary before starting to question his long-held beliefs. In 2003, after years of discerning Catholicism, Dr. Anders visited Msgr. Martin Muller, a priest in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. Anders says, "I actually went to see Fr. Muller to discuss the possibility of becoming Catholic, but in my mind, it was just a possibility. At the conclusion of our conversation, Msgr. Muller said, 'How about November 16?" Dr. Anders-decided in that moment to join the Church.

Soon after Dr. Anders was confirmed, he discovered EWTN, which was surprisingly five minutes from his house. He says, "I began to go to EWTN for the sacraments long before I had any connection to public media?' Through friendships and God's guiding hand, Dr. Anders was asked to appear on The Journey Home and other EWTN programs. Eventually, he started hosting Called to Communion, which is geared toward non-Catholics who have questions about the Church.

For Dr. Anders, a man from Mississippi stands out as one of his most memorable calls. According to Dr. Anders, "The caller said, 'You are the only Catholics I know. I have no one else to ask these questions to.' I think that Catholics themselves need to know that story. It can be true even in a very Catholic city because the guy who's living next to you is not going to ask you about your Catholic faith, but he will call EWTN".

Through the witness of Called to Communion and other programming on Catholic radio, people have reported that suicides were prevented, marriages were saved, and numerous people have joined the Catholic Church. And countless others have been inspired by Called to Communion's life-changing challenge: "What's stopping you from becoming a Catholic?"

This show airs Monday through Friday from 2:00 until 3:00pm and a encores from 11:00 until Midnight. Also on Sunday from 2:00 until 3:00pm is Best of Called to Communion.

Carolina Catholic talks about End of Life Issues

For our first September show, our guest is Father Jeffrey Kirby STD, a pastor of Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Indian Land, SC, who has written many books including his newest book, We are the Lord's: A Catholic Guide to Difficult End-of-Life Questions. This book is a succinct, quick-reference guide that addresses the difficult questions when someone is ill and/or dying and serves as a guide to the Church's teaching in this area framed by divine wisdom and biblical principles. In this show, we talk to Father Kirby about the dignity of each person as God's child, redemptive suffering, discerning the dying process, nutrition/hydration, and proxy and advanced directives.

This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's four stations, 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM in Wilmington and 100.7 FM in Southport the first and second weekends of September, Saturdays at 11 a.m. and Sundays at 6 p.m.
