Episode Details

What does your body reveal about God?

Christopher West—the world's leading communicator of St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body—returns to the show for a timely interview about an essential topic: the human body, gender, and sexuality.

Christopher unpacks the revolutionary truth that our bodies aren't just biological accidents. They're a theology—a divine revelation of who God is and how He loves. Whether you're struggling with your body image, wrestling with the sexual confusion dominating our culture, or longing for deeper meaning in your marriage, this message will deepen your understanding of how our physical bodies beautifully connect us to God's divinity.

This isn't just theology—it's healing, hope, and the best news you'll ever hear about your body, your sexuality, and God's passionate love for you.
