Thanks for joining us for part 2 of our 4 part series on Love. During February everywhere you look the world is talking about love. This is supposed to be the season of romance and affection with tons of heart shaped items and roses exchanged to signify, I Love You. But this episode is taking a different approach to discuss a very special gift, the gift of self. Through out the hour we will be sharing answers and reflections centered around St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body. Adele, Becki and content partner, Colby Allen, will introduce us to JP II's thoughts on the concept of Gift of Self and how it can be the best gift ever shared with those you love. Our team will share why the call to love doesn't begin with romance but with God. It begins in the way he created us and it begins as it did with Adam before before Eve, in solitude. A solitude that reveals our identity as well as our purpose.
