The Simple Truth, hosted by Jim Havens, airs each weekday from 4-5pm (ET) on The Station of the Cross Radio Network. Jim received his masters
in Theology from Franciscan University, and his bachelors degree in Media Studies from the University at Buffalo. He also has a masters of fine arts
in Screenwriting from Hollins University. Jim has more than 15 years of experience in apostolic work with Catholic parishes, schools, organizations,
and media. “The goal of my ‘career’ is to live my mission: to love God and love people by leading young and old deeper into the transforming, life-giving
reality of Jesus and His Catholic Church. Beyond seeking to live my primary vocation of husband and father to the full, I want to use everything I
am to help lead others to their true greatness in Christ.”
Gail Finke is the producer of Driving Home the Faith, a Catholic radio show broadcast from Cincinnati on the Sacred Heart Radio network. Involved
with Sacred Heart Radio since her days as an intern, Gail has worked as a writer, editor, and author, ran the local Catholic web magazine, The Catholic Beat,
and designed The Catholic Telegraph. Gail is from Pennsylvania, a revert to the Catholic faith whose most recent non-media job was at Greater
Cincinnati Right to Life. She has two grown children and likes to attend FC Cincinnati matches with her husband.
Jackie Aguilar is an expert in the field of fertility regulation through natural means. She teaches both the Couple to Couple League and the Creighton
Methods of Natural Family Planning. She is also a board member of Natural Womanhood. Jackie graduated from Texas A&M University with a bachelors
in marketing. After an extremely frustrating experience with the birth control pill that diminished her physical attraction for her husband, she learned
a natural method of fertility awareness and used it to plan, to the month, the birth of three children. Creighton charting and NaProTechnology were
instrumental in helping her and her husband conceive a fourth child after months of infertility and a miscarriage.
