Thank you for joining us for the last part of our 4 part series on Resurrection as a Common Human Experience. In this final episode we bring in a number of guest to discuss the idea of small but profound personal resurrections. Moments when Courage rises again, when Dignity is restored and when Community comes alive. To deliver this message Adele and Tom called on the Founder of the DesOrmeaux Foundation, Mrs. Brenda DesOrmeaux, the current Assistant Executive Director Mrs. Kristie DesOrmeaux Wright and several clients from the DesOrmeaux Foundation's Women's Center of Lafayette.

Welcome to part 3 of our 4 part series on Resurrection as a Common Human Experience. This show pulls from St. John Paul II's idea of Resurrection as a full human journey. A journey that has a clear beginning, a meaningful middle and a eternal end. This point brings hope to some and fear to others and we will also have a little fun discussing movies that have a resurrection story lines.

Thank you for lending us your ears and opening up your hearts for part 2 of our April series, Resurrection as a Common Human Experience. Last time we asked if Resurrection is for everyone and in part 2 we turn directly to St. John Paul II's thoughts on how Jesus appeals to the Resurrection of the body. Some questions we will look at in this episode: Can we live Resurrection while still on earth and is it possible to practice for Resurrection. Our team will also discuss the challenges of belief in Resurrection and how God helps our beliefs with small renewals during our earthly journey.

We appreciate you lending us your ears. This show is part 2 of our April Series on Resurrection as a Common Human Experience. In our last show we asked the question, Is Resurrection going to be for everyone? Now our series moves towards St. John Paul II's take on Jesus' appeal to the Resurrection of the Body and how we can begin to live the promise of Resurrection here on earth. We hope this show gives you more reasons to believe in the Resurrection as well as a few ways that we actually practice for Resurrection.

We appreciate you joining us for the first episode in our 4 part series, Resurrection as a Common Human Experience. In part 1 we will start with a life changing question pulled from writings in St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body: Is the resurrection of the body only for Jesus or is it a promise that all of us are invited to share? So settle in with us in this first of 4 shows discussing the concept of Resurrection as a Common Human Experience.

We appreciate you spending some of your valuable time with us as we conclude our 5 part Lenten series, Hope in the midst of suffering. In this show Adele and Tom are joined by a former DesOrmeaux Foundation employee, Krystal Romero, who shares her story as a real life witness of hope in the midst of suffering. As a former housing director at the DesOrmeaux Foundation's maternity home Krystal walked with many women during their suffering to find safety and purpose during their times of need. At the same time she was supporting moms in crisis pregnancies she was also struggling to overcome the loss of 1 of her own children. So listen in as we blend St. John Paul II's ideas of how suffering brings us closer to God with discussions of how God sends us hope through his people even in the midst of unimaginable suffering.

Thanks for joining us for part 4 of our 5 part series Hope in the midst of suffering. Today's show will look at one of the most hidden and destructive forces of suffering, shame.
