About this episode

The episode introduces the theology of the body and its relevance to infertility, featuring discussions with experts in marriage and family life.

What is the theology of the body? Where did it come from? Why was it written? How can it help us on the path of infertility? Today we're welcoming Chris O'Neill, Director of the Office of Marriage and Family Life for the Archdiocese of New Orleans, and Trey Weaver, Coordinator of Youth & Young Adult Ministry for the Diocese of Baton Rouge, to the first episode in a podcast series on the theology of the body. With Jillian, they'll dig into what the theology of the body is, what it isn't, and where it came from. Listen to Part 1 and stay tuned for the next episode in this series coming to you soon! It is our honor to walk with you!
