Feb 18, 2010 10:30:03 PM  |  by [CM Hangout](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/cmpodcast)

[![cm138](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/cm138.jpg?width=265&height=181&name=cm138.jpg "cm138")](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/cm138.jpg)On this week's podcast, we welcome two wonderful guests.  [Therese Borchard](http://www.thereseborchard.com/Site/Home.html) is the author of the hit daily blog [Beyond Blue](http://blog.beliefnet.com/beyondblue) and the book [Beyond Blue: Surviving Depression & Anxiety and Making the Most of Bad Genes](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1599951568?ie=UTF8&tag=catholicmomcom&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1599951568)![](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/ir-241.gif?width=1&height=1&name=ir-241.gif).

Lesley Johnson of [Johnson Financial Services](http://www.jfsmoney.com/) is a professional accountant who is dedicated to providing guidance in planning, developing and maintaining a healthy financial status.

The Hebrews didn't have a unique word to express thanks. Instead -- the Jews expressed a BLESSING. Guess who almost always uses the word BLESSINGS? Join [Deacon Tom](http://www.deacontomonline.com) today and find out.

[Lisa Mladnich](http://www.amazingcatechists.com/) encourages us to be filled with "pentecostal fire" when we teach or share the gospel message.

[Avery](http://www.livewtl.com) shares a reflection from the Catholic Youth Bible ([http://www.smp.org/CatholicYouthBible.cfm](http://www.smp.org/CatholicYouthBible.cfm)) on Matthew 25:31-46, and talks about ways to respond to Christ’s call of service.

This week as Lent begins, [Sarah Reinhard](http://www.snoringscholar.com/) finds herself at foot of the cross during her Mary Moment.

We close with the music of Catholic musician [Gerard Faucheux](http://www.gfsongs.com/) and ask you to pray for the repose of his soul and for his family.
