Welcome to Club DEB!
Published by jbog on Tagged WelcomeIn the 1940s families sat together listening to radio broadcasts. Now we grab our PC or iPod and listen to downloadable podcasts. Club DEB has its own informational podcasts, which I like to call Clubcasts. On each show I interview an expert on a topic in order to inform, encourage or inspire you. In addition to the informative Clubcasts, Club DEB also sponsors a Weekly Radio Show. Every Friday a panel and I discuss real topics for real women. We cover a variety of topics and discuss them from a Christian perspective no matter how “uncomfortable” a topic may be. We hope you will join us by listening in. Click here for a schedule of upcoming shows. See you Friday!
The Green-Eyed Monster
Published by jbog on Tagged Radio ShowOh dear, it happened…A friend receives something you would love to have. Suddenly you find yourself resenting her and maybe even avoiding her calls. What tapes do you play over again in your mind? Listen in as Tammie, Carol and I discuss envy and how destructive this monster can be.
Measuring Your Self-Worth
Published by jbog on Tagged Radio ShowAT LAST THE TIME IS HERE! We are finally launching our new radio show! In this weeks’ show the Club DEB panel and I discuss self-confidence and where it comes from. As women, we often measure our self-worth by what others think of us. We did a poll on this a few weeks back, and we shared those results in this weeks’ show. Click the play button below to listen in as Alane, Tammie, Carol and I discuss God’s love for us, and how believing that can help us with the self-esteem issues with which we often struggle. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this issue that is ever so significant in every women’s life. Hope you enjoy!
Change of Plans
Published by jbog on Tagged A Mixture of Stuff, Blogs, Events, Radio ShowA lot has been happening since I first announced the new Radio Show on January 1st. Since then, a fourth member has been added to our panel. I am very happy to introduce Alane Gorman!
Second, we planned a full schedule for February but my husband had an unexpected hospital stay so we had to delay our debut. But now I am here to announce a new debut date and Lord willing, we will go on then without a hitch. Our first show will air Friday, February 26, 2010!
If a date change wasn’t enough, we also changed the topic for that show. Since we missed our Valentine’s weekend launch in which we planned “Recipe for Romance,” we decided to hold that topic for another time. So instead, ask yourself this question…Who am I?…As women, we often measure our self-worth on what others think of us, particularly the men in our life. We did a poll on this topic a few weeks back…thank you to all who participated…and among other things, we will be sharing and discussing those results.
So we hope you will listen in as the Club DEB panel and I discuss God’s love for us, and how believing that can help us with the self-esteem issues with which we often struggle. Hope to see you then!
Delayed Again!
Published by jbog on Tagged A Mixture of Stuff, Blogs, Events, Radio Show, WelcomeIt is coming, I promise! Our new radio show will be launching shortly, but due to unexpected problems it had to be delayed for one more week. Next Friday, February 19th will be the day so please check back then!
The Love Month
Published by jbog on Tagged A Mixture of Stuff, Blogs, Events, Radio ShowComing Soon: The NEW Club DEB Radio Show! We invite you to listen in as the Club DEB panel and I discuss real topics for real women!
February is often considered the “Love” month, and it is no different here at Club DEB. So we adopted Love as the theme for this month, beginning with a “Recipe for Romance” on February 12th. How do you define romance? Does romance necessarily mean sex? How can one prepare for romance? Join us to hear what our panel has to say about these questions and more.
We also have some interesting topics for the last two weeks of February. On February 19th we will be discussing “Lust vs. Love.” That should be an interesting show for sure! Then we round the month out with the most important Love topic of all…”Loving Your Neighbor: How to live a life of love.”
Every show will begin with our 10-minute “Weekly Rap Session.” And you just never know what topic the panel will engage in then! So join us for the fun by listening in and then post a comment to share your thoughts.
And don’t forget to subscribe for email notifications. We will alert you by email when a new show is uploaded so that you can stay up-to-date with all the happenings here at Club DEB. See you Friday!
Note: If you have a personal romance story you would like to share with us, post it in the comments section or email me and we will read it on the show.
New Show Update
Published by jbog on Tagged A Mixture of Stuff, Blogs, Events, Radio ShowLast week I announced a new Radio Show starting on Club DEB. Today I have good news and bad news regarding the launch of that show. The bad news is that the show’s start has been delayed one week. The good news is the reason for the delay…We have a new panel member who will be joining us! I will add her to the show’s bio page just as soon as I have her information and then introduce her to you all. But please tune in next Friday, February 12th, to hear our first show, and the topic is perfect for Valentine’s Day! Talk to you then!
ANNOUNCEMENT: A New Show Coming!
Published by jbog on Tagged Events, Radio ShowI am excited to announce the launch of a NEW weekly Club DEB Radio Show! Every Friday a Club DEB panel and I will discuss real topics for real women. Each week we will cover a variety of topics and discuss them from a Christian perspective. When necessary, we will have an expert in that topic join us on the show, and we will discuss that topic with him/her as well.
We want to cover a wide range of topics and not be afraid of controversy or debate, so we will not shy away from a topic that may be “uncomfortable.” Some of the topics we will be discussing are: Pornography addiction; Obesity and emotional eating; Bankruptcy and home foreclosures; Gastric bypass surgery; and infertility. We also plan on doing some more light-hearted topics such as a show about (my favorite) the Amazon Kindle.
Joining me on the panel are two wonderful ladies, Tammie Swaney and Carol Thompson, who bring a unique perspective to any discussion. You can read more about our Club DEB panel here.
We will begin each show with a “Weekly Rap Session.” In that 10-minute segment Tammie, Carol and I will discuss any current events that occurred that week, either in our personal life or in the world, before moving on to our main topic.
Shows will be recorded Friday mornings and uploaded to the site every Friday afternoon. Our first show is entitled “Beauty from Blunders: Releasing oneself from a life-changing mistake.” That will air Friday, February 5, 2010. We invite you to listen in and post any comments you may have.
To avoid missing a show, you can stay up-to-date by subscribing for email notification. You will then be alerted by email when a new show is uploaded to the site.
Please note: You will be sent a confirmation email after subscribing. You must click on the link in that email to activate your subscription. Otherwise, you will NOT receive email updates. So please check your email after submitting your request. Thanks…and I will see you Friday!
With Gratitude!
Published by jbog on Tagged BlogsHAPPY NEW YEAR!
I haven’t been able to devote the time I need to Club DEB yet but I am getting there. This week I am starting to finally feel more like myself. I took a small step back as I picked up some kind of bug but seem to be doing better now.
I would like to take the opportunity in this post to thank everyone who supported and helped Gary and me through this last month. It was a difficult month as some things came up on top of the surgery, which in itself was difficult.
Gary commented how grateful he is to have so many people in our life who care, and my daughter observed how blessed we are with family and friends. I think the best gift one gives when helping someone during a trying time is the gift of knowing that you are not alone, and I want to thank all of you for giving us that.
So I would like to take this moment to thank each and every one of you for your thoughtfulness during this trying time. Thank you for being there for us, and I hope that we can some day do the same for you. God bless each one of you and I wish you a wonderful 2010.
Happy New Year everyone!
I am back!
Published by jbog on Tagged BlogsSurgery was done and I am home recovering. Unfortunately, the surgery was more involved than anyone anticipated so my return to Club DEB took longer than planned. I was in the hospital for five days, and after getting home it took a few more days before I could really sit at the computer. But I am here now and will gradually be adding more posts.
Things will be slow for a little bit, however, because full recovery will take time and the holidays throw some delays into things too as it is hard to schedule interviews this time of year. But I have some ideas and actually made a few phone calls this morning so that I could get the ball rolling.
Thank you to all of you for your continued prayers and support during this time. My doctors, husband and I are all hoping that this surgery will solve the problems that I have had most of 2009. So we are praying for an answer to that and complete and total recovery as well. Thanks again!
