Guess what....



Drew is celebrating his 20th anniversary with Relevant Radio, and he’s got some amazing reflections and stories to share. 🌟



📅 A Divine Anniversary



Did you know that August 2nd is not just Drew’s anniversary with Relevant Radio? It’s also the day St. Faustina began her journey into the convent back in 1925. Talk about divine timing! This connection has only strengthened Drew’s commitment to spreading the Divine Mercy message.



🌟 St. Faustina’s Mission and Drew’s Calling



St. Faustina received incredible revelations about God’s mercy. Drew feels a similar calling at Relevant Radio. Just like St. Faustina found peace in her convent, Drew found his purpose when he walked into Relevant Radio. It’s amazing how God guides us, right?



📖 A Story of Transformation



Before he joined Relevant Radio, Drew never thought he’d end up in broadcasting. He had a different career he loved, but God had other plans. Through a series of events, Drew found himself right where he needed to be, sharing the message of Divine Mercy. 



📈 Spreading Mercy and Reaping Rewards



Drew talked about how the Divine Mercy Chaplet became a huge part of his show. At first, they tried pre-recording the chaplet, but it didn’t click with listeners. So, they switched to live prayers and real-time listener petitions, and it transformed the hour into the most popular segment on the network. The response was off the charts! How has your life been impacted by the Chaplet of Divine Mercy? Try to even imagine where you'd be without it!



❤️ A Mission of Trust and Mercy



For Drew, the Divine Mercy devotion isn’t just about prayer—it’s about transformation and trust in God’s infinite love. His daily prayer sessions with listeners have built a strong spiritual community, united by God’s mercy.



🌊 God’s Boundless Mercy



Looking back on his 20-year journey, Drew encourages you to trust in God’s mercy, which is as vast as the ocean. Whether you’re new to the devotion or have been practicing for years, God’s love and mercy are always there for you.



🌟 Call to Action



Drew’s story is a great reminder that you have a unique mission. Embrace your calling, trust in God’s plan, and dive into His infinite mercy.



Join Drew in celebrating 20 years of spreading Divine Mercy, and always remember, God’s love is limitless and ever-present. 🙏

The Best of the Week

Drew Mariani Celebrates 20 Years of His Show: The Divine Mercy Connection (The Drew Mariani Show)

Let's jump into some thought-provoking highlights from a recent podcast episode of The Patrick Madrid Show, focusing on the topic of Islamic invasion in Europe. It's a heavy subject, but important to understand.



📧 Camilla's Story: Patrick got an email from Camilla, a listener in California. She shared her personal journey, moving to the U.S. in the 80s to escape the civil war in Lebanon. As a Christian, Camilla describes the fear many in the Middle East have of Muslims, who often view Christians as sinners and treat them with hostility. Her experiences paint a vivid picture of the religious tensions that are hard to fathom from the comfort of the West. We can often take so much for granted here!



🎤 An Eye-Opening Interview: Patrick shared an interview with an imam that was pretty shocking. This imam explained that, according to Islamic law, a Muslim man can have up to four wives and an unlimited number of concubines—women who essentially have the status of slaves. These women must obey their masters without any right to consent. It’s a harsh reality that’s difficult to imagine, and it really shows the vast cultural differences. This is absolutely heartbreaking for the women who have to suffer through this; we need to keep them in prayer.



💥 Violence in the UK: Recently, England has seen riots, particularly in places like Yorkshire. Locals are clashing with Muslim migrants, feeling that their culture is being threatened and that their government isn’t doing enough to protect them. Social media is filled with videos of violent encounters, making the situation even more tense and frightening. Imagine being in the middle of it! Scary. 



🔍 Government's Response: The UK government, under Prime Minister Keir Starmer, has been cracking down on anti-Islamic sentiments. British citizens are facing legal consequences for expressing their concerns about the growing influence of Islam. This has led to an understandable feeling of betrayal, as people believe their own leaders are not addressing their legitimate worries.



📉 Struggles Across Europe:  Believe it or not, this problem isn't just in the UK. Countries like Germany, Sweden, and France are also grappling with these issues. The rise of certain Islamic practices, such as the acceptance of sex slaves, is causing major unrest and a significant cultural clash. 



💬 A Final Thought: Yes, we need legal and orderly immigration; it’s crucial to also prioritize the well-being of current citizens at the same time, though. It’s a delicate balance, but one that needs careful attention to avoid further destabilization.



What’s your take on this? How should governments tackle these cultural clashes? Let’s keep the conversation going! 💬

The Realities of Islamic Invasion in Europe (The Patrick Madrid Show)

👩‍💼 Caller: Martha from Grand Rapids, Michigan



In a podcast episode of The Patrick Madrid Show, Martha, a small business owner, called in to share a dilemma that was causing some stress.

Balancing Truth and Compassion:



Patrick empathized with Martha's inner conflict and stressed the importance of kindness and compassion without sacrificing the truth.



Navigating Sensitive Situations:

🌟 Conclusion:



As Catholics in the workplace, we often walk a fine line between compassion and truth. By treating all employees with respect and professionalism while upholding our beliefs, we can create a harmonious and respectful work environment. Remember, prayer and discernment are your best allies.

"I Have Trans Employees - How Should I Act?" (The Patrick Madrid Show)

Imagine this: You're cruising down the highway, enjoying some tunes or catching up on The Drew Mariani Show, when suddenly, your car starts tattling on other drivers. Sounds crazy, right? Well, buckle up, because it's not as far-fetched as it seems. Drew Mariani dives into this intriguing topic with tech guru Russ White in a recent episode.



Big Brother on Wheels? 🕵️‍♂️


Ford Motors has filed a patent for a system that could turn your car into a snitch! 🚨 Yup, using cameras and sensors, your Ford might soon be able to monitor the speed of surrounding vehicles, snap photos of speeders, and send the data straight to law enforcement. Talk about a "snitch mobile"!



Tech Overreach or Safety? 🤔


While this might sound like a step towards safer roads, it raises some serious privacy concerns. Remember when Ford was praised for its independence back in 2009? Those days seem distant now, as this kind of tech could pave the way for a surveillance state. Drew questions if consumers are really clamoring for more expensive surveillance tech in their already pricey cars. Is this a solution in search of a problem?



Russ White Weighs In 🗣️


Russ White, a well-known voice in computer networking and privacy advocate, joins the conversation. He points out that most modern cars are already packed with surveillance tech. Russ warns that this new patent could lead to more pervasive surveillance, affecting not just speed monitoring but potentially every aspect of our driving habits. 🚘



The Balancing Act ⚖️


Safety vs. privacy: the eternal debate. Drew and Russ discuss how our culture has become overly focused on safety at the expense of personal freedom. Russ suggests that we should only trust those who truly care about us—like our family and God—not distant corporations or government agencies.



Caller Concerns 📞


Listeners chime in, with Kim from La Crosse, Wisconsin, expressing her anxiety over reckless driving. She supports the idea of surveillance tech in cars to improve safety. Meanwhile, Nick notices an uptick in aggressive driving post-pandemic, speculating that law enforcement might not be as strict as before.



The Takeaway 📝


Drew and Russ agree: while safety is crucial, we must carefully consider the costs. Are we willing to sacrifice our privacy for the promise of safety? And how far are we willing to let technology encroach on our personal freedoms?



So, next time you're behind the wheel, ponder this: Is your car just a vehicle, or is it watching you—and everyone around you? 🚗👀
