Tonight's Radio Show - Theology of the Body for Teens

Tonight's guest on the Heart of Things radio show is Brian Butler, co-author of the new Theology of the Body for Teens program.

From the TOB for Teens website:

A New Language for a New Generation
"Theology of the Body for Teens presents the two hottest topics on the planet - God and sex - and "marries" them through Pope John Paul II's compelling vision for love and life. Using a great mix of stories, real-life examples, activities, prayers, and references to the culture that teens understand, Theology of the Body for Teens answers the questions teens have about their own bodies, issues on sexual morality, and how they were uniquely created for greatness."

Theology of the Body for Teens answers questions such as:

• Why did God give us our sexual desires?
• What is the difference between love and lust?
• Can Christ bring healing to me if I’ve already “messed up”?
• How far is “too far”?
• How can teens remain pure in our oversexed culture?
• Is there any hope for overcoming lust and pornography?

Oh how I wish I could listen in from afar! I look forward to the podcast. My youth ministry program is using the Theology of the Body for Teens book this semester, with great success. I'm actually leading the session on marriage a week from Sunday - I can't wait! I highly recommend this resource for YM programs.

Hi Frances,

That's awesome! I know you and David will be an excellent witness for marriage. I was scanning through your blog and it looks great, by the way! I've got some catching up to do! Hope you have a blessed Easter Octave.

Peace and Good,
Bill

Here is an excellent homily on the relationship between the life of the trinity and married love - very much Theology of the Body stuff!

Talking to Your Little Ones About the Big Topic of Sex

A much repeated sentence we hear at our Theology of the Body retreats and courses is "I wish I heard this when I was younger!" ...
