We’re back with Rich Topf for Part 2 of our conversation on Theology of the Body!

This week, we dive deeper into what it actually looks like to live Theology of the Body in the world we’re in today. Rich unpacks the spousal meaning of the body, what marriage reveals about our relationship with God, and why learning to see ourselves as beloved children of God changes the way we see and treat everyone around us.

We also get practical about navigating social media and technology, especially with kids, and how parents can teach their children to recognize truth instead of simply shielding them from everything. We talk about creating opportunities for young people to step outside their comfort zones, build confidence, and discover who God created them to be. Pasted textPasted text

And we tackle the harder stuff too: pornography, sexual sin, shame, confession, forgiveness, and the hope that no matter our past, Christ can redeem it. Rich shares practical advice for changing the way we see ourselves and others—and reminds us that ultimately, living Theology of the Body comes down to learning how we were created to see, serve, and love.
