Thursday Night Call-In Show ☎️ August 13, 2026

*Please support our work. Donate now.* https://charidy.com/rst/call This week’s Thursday Night Call-In Show moves from reflections on authenticity, creative freedom, and last week’s broadcast with Jeff Garlin into phone calls about eccentric and demanding relatives, stress within a brother’s household, heartbreak after a confusing breakup, and avoidant attachment in marriage. David and Ida Schottenstein also call in on their anniversary to discuss the SoulWords matching campaign and the enduring lesson of being a thermostat rather than a thermometer. Along the way, Rabbi Taub weighs in on feeding feral cats, Frank Sinatra’s “My Way,” gardening at the SoulWords House, and the surprisingly magnificent landscaping at Bola Market gas stations. If you have a personal question, dilemma, struggle, or situation you’d like to discuss live on the air, this is your opportunity. No topic is too big or too small—relationships, parenting, faith, emotional struggles, life decisions, personal growth, or anything else that’s on your mind.
