On this episode of The NFP Podcast, hosts Emily and Amy continue their reading and reflection on the 1995 encyclical The Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality. This week, they turn to Section V: Paths of Formation Within the Family. Together, they explore how the family serves as the first school of love, faith, and virtue, and how parents are called to guide their children in the gradual and holistic formation of their hearts, minds, and character. Emily and Amy discuss the timeless wisdom offered in this section and consider how these teachings can be lived out amidst the unique challenges facing families today.
