Thanks for sharing some of your valuable time with us. This is part 2 of our series on Sanctity of Life. We are diving in deep to the writings of St. John Paul II and how they relate to the dignity of every human person. Adele, Becki and Tom are honored to be joined by someone who's entire career quietly enjoined what JP II called the Gospel of Life in action. In this show Dr. Kim Hardey shares how his life and career was changed to a more LIFE-Centered focus after attending a conference on a decades old Vatican Document. We invite you to open you ears and your heart to listen to someone who walked with thousands of women in their most joyful and vulnerable times in their lives.

Thank you for sharing some of your valuable time. It's a joy to step into this fresh beginning with you. As we welcome January we also welcome Sanctity of Life month. A time set aside to reflect on the profound dignity of every human person and the call to love that dignity into the world. This show takes that thought and brings to light what that looks like in the real world. Our focus will be on 2 essential life lines for Moms in crisis pregnancies, pregnancy centers and maternity homes. These places don't just offer services they offer hope, community, and the kind of support that can change the trajectory of a mother's life and her child's future. This is an important conversation and we are grateful you are here to be a part of it.

Thank you for lending us your ears and your heart. If you have been following us since around Episode 70 you know that we have been covering the Audiences of St. John Paul II that make up the book titled, "Man and Woman He created Them, The Theology of the Body". In this show Adele, Tom and Becky will cover the final chapters of the book as they share why JP II thought the document, "Humane Vitae" (of Human Life) was the coaching manual for not just a better life but a perfect life. The team will also discuss how the great pope saint pointed to a particular power needed to gain not just personal perfection but perfection in relationships as well.

Thank you for joining us for Handbook for Humanity, we truly appreciate the gift of your ears. We are moving through more audiences of St. John Paul II"s Theology of the Body. Today's subject focuses on a challenge to married couples and those considering marriage. In today's audience JP II used Pope Paul VI's Humanae Vitae to describe what married couples can do to reach perfection in their relationships.

Thank you for lending us your ears and your heart. In this show we will be focusing on the last section of St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body titled, "Language of the body". In one of the most important parts of this section JP II points to the body speaking directly to married couples through practices involved in Natural Family Planning. To help with this topic Adele and Tom have invited 3 special guests on the show. Jennifer Connely who has been teaching Natural Family Planning in Acadiana since the 80's and a newly married couple, Wade and Ashley Johnson, who have been practicing Natural Family Planning. So settle in as we unpack these beautiful writings that focus on the bodies ability to speak to the dignity of the human person and the sacredness of martial love.

Thank you for lending us your ears and your heart. We continue our deep dive into the wisdom of St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body. Today we are exploring a profound reflection on one of the many mysteries of human love, the gift of marriage. In this show Adele and Tom are joined by 2 guests, Richard and Pam Andrus. The Andrus's have journeyed through multiple Theology of the Body courses with Adele and Becky Landry. Now press play and get ready to discuss one of the most controversial pieces of scripture, Ephesians 5. Together we will all unpack how John Paul II's insights on this passage from the New Testament are not lofty theology but practical truths that shape daily married life and the call to holiness.

Thanks for lending us your ears and hearts. This conversation turns away from Christ appeals to the resurrection and towards audiences that explore the call to virginity and celibacy for the sake of the Kingdom. In this show we hope to reveal St. John Paul II's thoughts on how the human body speaks a language of total self gift even outside of marriage. For this discussion Adele, and Tom are joined by special guest Emily Byers who's life vocation will provide incredible insights into what it means to be a bride of Jesus in the modern world.

Thank you for lending us your ears and your hearts for another edition of Handbook for Humanity. Adele and Tom are once again joined by guest Hallee Mire as she helps the team finish off St. John Paul II's discussion of his Theology of the Body audiences on Christ Appeals to the Resurrection. Hallee recently returned from an amazing pilgrimage to Poland and she will share insights as to how her experiences brought her in contact with powerful spiritual places as well as images of beautiful mercy and community.

Thank you for joining us for this next part in our series on Christ appeals to the Resurrection from St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body. In this section we are going to discuss the idea that God did not create the body to be thrown away but to be transformed into it's ultimate purpose, to love God and participate fully in the divine life. Listen in as Adele and Tom are once again joined by the artist behind Catholicworldart.com, Irene Thomas as they share the great pope saint's thoughts on Jesus' answer to the questions , will we be married in heaven and what will our bodies be like in the next life.

Thanks for joining us today. These past couple of shows we've been discussing St. John Paul II's audience's on Christ's appeal to the resurrection but today we are turning our attention toward a celebration and tradition that bridges the sacred and the personal. By using some previously recorded material we want to introduce you to two remarkable women that keep this tradition alive in their communities, one through the quiet reverence of a church alter and the other through caring gatherings held among the gravestones of a local cemetery. So get comfortable and listen in as our contributing content partners, Becki Landry and Colby Allen find out how activities in West Texas help to honor and remember those who have moved on to their next destination in their journey towards resurrection.
