How can audio storytelling and narrative drama help children, parents, and educators discover Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body within the broader narrative of salvation history? On The Son Rise Morning Show, host Matt Swaim welcomes back Courtney Brown, Executive Director of the Ruah Woods Institute, to introduce a dynamic new learning resource: The Search for the Stolen Pearl.
Brown explains the origins of the project, rooted in the work of the late consecrated woman Jen Messing, who mapped Theology of the Body onto a six-stage human timeline from creation to eternal glory. She details how Ruah Woods and Coronation Media transformed this framework into a cinematic audio adventure following two siblings on a quest, complete with orchestral scoring, guardian angel symbolism, and spiritual allegory. Brown also outlines the accompanying study kits designed to help parents and catechists guide young listeners into deep discussions on human dignity, grace, and God's plan for love.
