Welcome to our 4 year Anniversary show. A we step into July, our anniversary month, we are celebrating 4 years of exploring St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body and championing the dignity of every human life. Today we are brining you a remix of the episode that has received the most listens over the past 4 years. This episode is the one listeners return to again and again as our master teacher, Adele Guillot, delivers a concise, heart felt summary of JP II's Theology of the body to parents of a CCD class from St. Edmund's Catholic Church in Lafayette, LA.

Thanks for lending us your ears and your heart. As we head into the heat of summer, a season when many of us will be spending long stretches of time together with family, friends and the people who shape our daily lives - it feels like the perfect moment to revisit one of St. John Paul II's most beautiful insights: the complementarity of the human person. Not competition, not sameness, but a harmony that reveals something deeper about who we are and who we're meant to be.

We appreciate you spending some time with us. We are stepping away from our Fatherhood series and shifting to a topic that shapes discussions about life, family and how we support one another. June 24th, 2026 is the 4th anniversary of the Dobbs vs. Jackson decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that led to the overturning of Roe vs Wade. To take a look at how this decision still impacts America 4 years later we invited Ms. Hannah Guilliam from Louisiana Right to Life. Hannah will help us look back at the last 4 years and share what stands out, what has changed, and what still needs work in the battle for LIFE. And as usual Adele will look at today's subject through the lens of Theology of the Body with quotes from St. John Paul II who said TOB is the antidote for America's culture of death.

We appreciate you spending some of your valuable time with us. In part 3 of our June series, Embodied Fatherhood, our team of Adele, Becki and content partner Colby Allen discuss a topic that sits at the very heart of becoming a father and the man God calls each man to be, "The Language of the Body". This is not about the concept of "Body Language" or non-verbal communication but something deeper. This show will be about the God given language written into our bodies, a language that reveals the invisible, invites us into communion and invites us to be a total gift of self.

Welcome to Handbook for Humanity where we look at life through the lens of St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body. This is our second episode in our June series on embodied Fatherhood. This show brings together a multi-generational panel that includes a grandfather, a father of adult children and a father in the toddler trenches with each offering a unique look into the window of how fatherhood farms the heart of a man. Some of the questions covered in today's discussion: What does Fatherhood mean to you? How did your father influence your parenthood style, how has fatherhood shaped your marriage and much more. We hope this show can shed some light on the joys, challenges and wisdom of fatherhood.

Thank you for lending us your ears and your heart! We are opening June with a conversation centered on Fatherhood and the family. For most of this month we will be exploring what it means to be created for relationship, responsibility and love that reflects God's own heart. To help us begin that journey the team will be joined by Lafayette, LA business owner Todd Citron. Todd is a husband and father who recently began his journey through Theology of the Body and in this episode he brings a fresh, honest curiosity to our discussion on fatherhood and the family. Topics that will be covered during the show, the meaning of fatherhood, the challenges facing families today and how TOB can offer clarity, encouragement and even a few surprises.

We appreciate you spending some of your valuable time with us as we continue to explore the dignity of every human person through the lens of St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body. Throughout this month of May we've been reflecting on the beauty and depth of Motherhood. In this episode we are going deeper into the topic of adoption as Jared and Brittany Normand return to share more about the gift of adoption as well as some of the challenges that go along with adoption.

Thank you for joining us for the 3rd part of our series honoring Mother's and the incredible gift of Motherhood. Today we turn our attention to the beautiful reality of adoption. A reality that St. John Paul II often highlighted in his Theology of the Body audiences as a profound sign of God's own love. In this episode you will hear a heart felt conversation filled with lived experience and powerful witness from guests Jared and Brittany Normand. The Normands are parents of adopted children and in this episode they share their journey toward God's eternal plan of family.

We appreciate you spending some of your valuable time with us. This is part 2 of our May series dedicated to Moms. This part of our month long journey into St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body looks at the idea of Original Unity. JP II calls Original Unity a foundational truth and in this episode we hope to share how unity can support a Moms heart, renew her sense of connection and help her live the gift of herself with greater freedom and joy.

Thanks for joining us for our 1st episode of May focused on Moms. This May we are dedicating 4 episodes to Moms and over the coming weeks we'll explore some beautiful insights from St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body. In this first episode we are focusing on original solitude, one of the foundational experiences JP II describes in TOB. Our goal is to share this important human experience that can show us who we are and how we relate to God. We hope that after listening to this episode you will share it with the Moms in your life to help them understand the importance of Holy solitude and how it can help them open new space for loving all the important people in her lives.
