I have been invited to be a regular host of “Vigilant Heart”, a @radio_maria_usa show hosted by Annie Karto. I feel honored and blessed by this invitation to be a small part of the world of radio evangelization.
We will tackle a variety of themes and have a strong line up of interviews with missionary disciples that will encourage the heart and challenge the mind of the listeners. Please tune in the third Monday of every month from 7pm-8pm EDT. I will also be on this coming Monday from 730-8 pm. https://radiomaria.us/listen-to-the-radio/
