Tech Tips for Catholics

drray_print Every three months, our local Knights of Columbus council would sponsor a speaker for our Defending Our Faith night. This one particular night I was pretty excited, because one of my all-time favorite Catholic speakers was coming to our Parish. I arrived early, only to find a table of youth group kids eating pizza. Now even though I was in my mid-twenties, I had the appearance of a youth group kid and was invited to join the pizza-eating festivities. Don’t mind if I do : )

A man wearing a suit and a really cool mustache came and sat down at our table—as if I have the right to say that I was a part of this fine group of young people. This man started to tell a story of Christ’s crucifixion in a way that I had never really heard described. He then engaged us in an intriguing conversation that reminded me of something C.S. Lewis might have said. This man introduced himself as Dr. Ray and he proceeded to eat delicious pizza with us.

He looked different than what I had imagined his voice to be on the radio. Dr. Ray Guarendi is one of the hosts of “The Doctor is In”, which I was an avid listener to on Living Bread Radio. On the show, he takes calls relating to parenting, family relationships, homeschooling, adoption, and sometimes questions about our faith.

Over the year’s, Dr. Ray has appeared on national radio and television, including Oprah, Joan Rivers, Scott Ross Prime Time, 700 Club, Gordon Elliot, and CBS This Morning. He has also been a guest on regional radio and television shows in over 40 states and Canada. Dr. Ray has authored several books, including “Discipline That Lasts a Lifetime”, “You’re a Better Parent Than You Think!”, “Back to the Family”, “Good Discipline, Great Teens”, and his newest book, “Adoption: Choosing It, Living It, Loving It”.

Dr. Ray Guarendi has a doctorate degree in clinical psychology and is the father of 10 adopted children. I would say this makes him qualified!

While listening to Al Kresta’s interview (mp3) with Dr. Stanley D Williams, author of “The Moral Premise” and founder of Nineveh’s Crossing, they mentioned that Dr. Ray is going to be playing the part of Fr. Mike in the new movie “Tiger’s Hope”. I actually had the pleasure of eating lunch with Dr. Stan Williams during the Media & Faith Conference.

Back to Dr. Ray—Dr. Ray is a member of the Catholic Answers Speakers Bureau, delivering talks throughout the country and appears once a month on Catholic Answers Live.

I have also seen Dr. Ray Guarendi speak at the Alive Festival and at The Fest, here in Ohio. If you want a speaker who makes you laugh, while at the same time delivering a clear message that makes sense, then Dr. Ray has talks on the following topics:
