Have you heard of Theology of the Body? In today's episode, we're welcoming guest, Jen Settle, who works as the Director of Ongoing Formation at the Theology of the Body Institute. She gives a great introduction to "TOB" and we discuss understanding the human identity, the impact of TOB on women, the gift of femininity and motherhood, and even how it relates to our understanding of sexual ethics and natural family planning! Although this episode is just the tip of the iceberg, it's a great introduction to this great and impactful work.
