Theology of the Body

Christopher West, founder of the Theology of the Body Institute, joins Shane O’Neill. They discuss Pope John Paul II’s theological framework on the sacred connection between the human body and God.

West explains how our bodies aren’t just biological but theological—divinely imbued with God’s love and creativity. Moreover, the episode invites viewers to see the human body through reverence and awe as a gift connecting us to something greater.

Additionally, Shane and West tackle pornography head-on. They dissect how it distorts human sexuality, transforming it into hollow pleasure disconnected from emotional and spiritual roots. Shane and West offer solutions and a path to healing.

Ultimately, “Theology of the Body” guides listeners beyond shallow connects and towards authentic love and intimacy. It encourages reclaiming the body’s narrative and discovering the profound potential for self-gift and genuine connections.

Don’t miss this enlightening episode that embraces the beauty and depth of our human experience.
