CP&BC Featured Speaker: Kris McGregor - November 12th, 2015

Описание: Kris McGregor met her husband Bruce while they were working at the same rock radio station in Minnesota. The McGregor’s have been married for 31 years, a number which confounds those who knew them then, but affirms both of their mother’s belief in the power of prayer. Because of Bruce’s very successful career as a radio programmer with some of the largest broadcast groups in the country (Milwaukee, Detroit, Orlando and Baltimore), they’ve lived and traveled far and wide, but 12 years ago they finally said “enough” and they returned to the nest they call home…Omaha, Nebraska. The McGregor’s would return to be a part of Spirit Catholic Radio. With Bruce as station programmer and Kris’ education and experience in theology and ministry within the Catholic Church (having served as a DRE, Pastoral Minister and Liturgist), they would once again work together in radio for 5 years on the “Spirit Morning Show” .

Kris has interviewed literally hundreds of today’s major educators, authors and evangelists in (and outside) the Catholic Church. She has broadcast from areas as far away as Rome and as remote as the mountain tops of Guatemala. Kris has also produced a wide range of series under the banner “Discerning Hearts presents” with topics ranging from the Fathers of the Church to Christian Spirituality and Apologetics to Women’s Fertility, hosting series for Catholic leaders like Mike Aquilina, Joseph Pearce, Dr. Thomas Hilgers, Deacon James Keating, and Dr. R. R. Reno to name a few. As the host of “Inside the Pages”, Kris talks with many of today’s most compelling authors and which is heard on Catholic Radio stations around the country. She has also given numerous talks on subjects ranging from the Blessed Virgin Mary to Media and the Family.

Her latest endeavor is “Discerning Hearts”, a Catholic website which was recently selected as by the OSV readers guide to the Internet, as one of the top spots highlighting Catholic Spirituality. She was also invited by the Pontifical Council for Social Communication to participate in the first ever “Blogger Gathering” in Rome on May 2, 2011, the day after the beatification of John Paul II, who some would say is the Father of the New Evangelization.

Bruce and Kris have 3 unique kids (2 of which are challenged with autism) and 3 unique dogs (all challenged with being Pugs).
