The Gary Zimak Show

Sometimes we get so focused on our own needs that we forget about the needs of others. In the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, Jesus reminds us to look out for those in need. It's a tough message, but one that we all need to hear. Tune in and let's discuss!

The Parable of the Dishonest Steward is can be very difficult to understand. Jesus almost seems to be praising dishonest behavior. In reality, however, He is trying to get our attention in order to deliver a message about the importance of helping the poor. It's a tough message, but one that is essential to grasp. Rich or poor, Jesus speaks directly to each of us in this parable. Don't make the mistake of ignoring His words!

We hear about God's mercy and love so often that we sometimes fail to appreciate it. This week, Gary looks at the parable of the Prodigal Son and what it means to each of us. While it's true that the Lord's mercy is infinite, there is something we must do in order to receive it. Tune in and let's discuss!

What does it take to be a disciple of Jesus? According to the gospel, it requires much more than just going to Mass on Sunday. This week, Gary will examine Jesus' words on the requirements of discipleship. While it's true that following Christ requires us to leave our old way of life behind, doing so will give us the peace we seek!

What does it mean to be humble? Contrary to popular belief, it has nothing to do with thinking poorly of yourself. Join Gary as he discusses what Jesus said about the importance of choosing the right seat when you're invited to dinner. Huh? Don't worry...it will make sense once you listen to the show!

The Gospel for the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time contains a startling reminder - the gate to salvation is narrow! Jesus' words are so shocking that we sometimes fail to listen to His full message. This week, Gary will unpack this challenging Gospel and explain why it is actually fantastic news. Tune in and find out why!

As evidenced by the life of Jesus, not everyone wants to hear the Good News. Therefore, it should come as no surprise when we encounter resistance as we attempt to share the Gospel. Tune in as Gary discusses the Mass Readings for the 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Even though it may be challenging at times, don't give up. The Lord is right there with us and is counting on us to spread His message!
