Nashville Catholic Radio Waves

Radio Waves is our monthly communication to help bring you up to date on the happenings at Nashville Catholic Radio.
Over the past few months, Nashville Catholic Radio has been teasing you with new programs for 2023. This month our Program Director Jim Crowe has announced the addition of two new programs.
The first is one you have been reading about for several months, “Raising a Catholic Family Today” which can be heard for six weeks starting Monday February 20 at 11:30 AM and 5:30 PM. We invite you to read below for important program details and how to get your free copy of John’s new book.
The second is a completely new program that will be a weekly series titled “Catholic Moms in the Middle” hosted by Jennie Guinn. Jennie presents topics that fellow “Mom’s” can relate to regarding current newsworthy topics. We are excited to tell you all about Jennie and her new series which we will feature in the March Issue of Nashville Catholic Radio Waves. Make sure you tune in to “Catholic Moms in the Middle” when it debuts on Tuesday (Valentine’s Day) February 14 at 11:30 AM and 5:30 PM. It will also repeat on Saturday at 10:30 AM.
We welcome both Jennie and John to our airwaves this month.
As we mentioned, One of our new programs for 2023 is a special Lenten Series with Nationally recognized Author, Tennessee Register contributor and St. Stephen’s Parishioner John Bosio around his new book for families, Raising a Catholic Family Today. Over the past eight months, John has interviewed twelve couples from seven of our Diocesan Parishes for their comments regarding their own families related to the chapters in the book. Over six weeks we will cover the entire book with John asking questions of the couples related to each chapter. You may even know some of the couples featured in the series. They are:
Sam and Kourtney Bolton of St. Frances Cabrini,
