May 29th is the feast of Pope Saint Paul VI. This pope is known for his powerful and prophetic witness about how widespread contraception would have devastating effects on marriage, family life, and society as a whole. I was inspired to share this message after listening to a Rosary meditation from Holy Family School of Faith. To listen to or read this message for yourself, you can do so at the link below:

I got cut off before I could share the follow-up reflection from Holy Family School of Faith, which is geared specifically toward the Catholic Christian view of contraception. To listen, click here:

Finally, if you'd like to learn more about why the Catholic Church's position on contraception is what it is, you can go to askchristopherwest.com.

“God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that EVERYONE who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life.” John 3:16. EVERYONE. Not “some.” All.

PARENTS: PLEASE LISTEN WITH KIDS.

KIDS: DO NOT WATCH, LISTEN TO, OR LOOK THIS CONTENT UP ALONE. THIS IS SOMETHING TO BE DISCUSSED WITH A TRUSTED ADULT.

In this episode, I share how the final step in overcoming an addiction is sharing your witness with others. This comes with time and discernment, but be not afraid. As a friend recently told me, once God liberates you, you have authority in His Name to walk the same road with others, in order that they may be liberated. All for the glory of God.
