Welcome by: Lisa 

 Welcome to our site! We were thrilled to get Derek Jeter and Anne Rice for our first two shows. Both entirely different interviews and equally wonderful. That's exactly what we'll be doing more of. Talking to well known public figures: actors, authors, athletes, politicians, singers, about what their faith and values mean to them. Something you don't hear them talk about-who they really are, what matters to them most and their relationship with God.

 

We see celebrities on shows plugging their latest project, book, movie, etc. But Jim and I will be focusing on the spiritual side. What do they think their purpose is in life? How have they gotten through challenges? And the importance of faith in their lives. 

 

On Close Encounter, we want viewers to not only gain a better understanding of who these people really are, but to be inspired by their stories as well.

I think it is wonderful when people are comfortable talking about their faith.  Especially in today's cynical world.

I love the format, and the thought-provoking questions offered by both co-hosts.

Intelligent and refreshing approach to "personality" interviews!

Thank you Lisa and Msgr. Jim--

It's very hard to find shows like this on tv nowadays.  Please let us know where this will be airing because I will definitely watch it.

This show is a great concept.  There is too much junk on tv that doesn't lift us up.  Please put the schedule  on the website because a lot of people are looking forward to seeing it.

It was wonderful listening to Anne Rice and Derek Jeter. Their honesty and candidness are heartwarming. It would also be great to hear your stories. I've known Msgr. Jim for years and have watched many of his interviews. Becuase I know how greatly he has influenced my life, I'm convinced others would love to hear his story. I've often thought how great it would be if he were interviewed.  Now that he has a 'co-host,' maybe it would be an interesting show for Lisa to interview Msgr. Jim and then he could interview her. I'm sure the audience will be inspired by both stories.

Watched the show last night.

 

Loved the interviews!  Thanks for showing another side of Jetter and Ann Rice.  We won't see this kind of in depth interview anywhere else!

 

Looking forward to more shows!

Great interview with Derek Jeter, hope that many children will follow his example, and avoid the pitfalls of the times we live in. I would not want to be growing up in these times, much harder for parents and children. Kudos to you lisa

Drew Brees is such an outstanding man, husband, father and role model for young men!  Looking forward to seeing the clip of your interview on your website and youtube!

 

Bravo to you both--Lisa and Msgr. Jim, for recognizing Drew as a true example of how living ones' faith steadfastly and persevering through hardships can have a powerful effect on the culture.  A culture in dire need of real, authentic American heroes.
