How does understanding the human person as a "gift" fundamentally alter our view of marriage, morality, and modern bioethics? On The Son Rise Morning Show, host Matt Swaim welcomes back Courtney Brown, Executive Director of the Ruah Woods Institute (producers of K-12 Theology of the Body curricula based in Cincinnati, Ohio). Brown unpacks St. John Paul II’s concept of the "hermeneutic of the gift"—the lens through which we realize that human life, maleness, femaleness, and marriage are not self-constructed commodities to be possessed or traded, but divine gifts to be received and offered back in love.
