Why do kids seem so listless and unhappy? How can you help them? 👨‍🎓 Guest:Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, a renowned expert in technology addiction, Ivy League educated psychologist, and author of influential books like Digital Madness and Glow Kids joins Timmerie to give his perspective. Check out the whole hour here. Key Insights: Digital Dilemma: Dr. Kardaras highlights a profound 'poverty of spirit' among young people, exacerbated by the digital landscape. He describes a world where technology not only distracts but fills a spiritual void, leading to increased feelings of loneliness and depression. Finding Purpose: The discussion pivots to the crucial role of finding one's bliss—a term popularized by Joseph Campbell, implying the discovery of something that genuinely sparks joy and provides a sense of purpose. Dr. Kardaras emphasizes the importance of helping kids identify their passions rather than succumbing to the digital noise. At the same time, we need to remember that our purpose is not what defines us. If we put too much stock into what we do, it could crush us in the future if we've put all our livelihood into it.  The Grit & Resilience Recipe: Angela Duckworth's concept of 'grit'—a blend of passion and perseverance—is highlighted as essential for young people to develop. Dr. Kardaras stresses the importance of engaging in real-world activities that require persistence, such as sports or musical instruments, which can help build resilience. Critical Thinking Over Emotion: There's a dominance of emotional reactions within social media. Dr. Kardaras advises parents to encourage critical thinking and analytical discussions with their children, focusing on a Socratic method of questioning and reasoning. Rediscovering the Classics: To combat the shallow quick-fix solutions of modern education, Dr. Kardaras advocates for reintroducing young minds to classic literature, which can help foster deeper analytical skills and thought processes. This episode is a wake-up call for parents, educators, and anyone involved with the younger generation to foster environments that promote psychological strength and spiritual health, rather than mere digital distraction. 💪📘

Sal Di Stefano sheds light on an unexpectedly profound subject: the transformative power of parenting. While Sal has made a name for himself in the fitness realm, his recent social media musings about the joys and challenges of family life have sparked both acclaim and controversy. The Parenting Paradox: Countercultural yet Fulfilling In today's fast-paced, selfie-obsessed world, embracing the traditional family structure and championing the role of parenting is practically revolutionary. Sal's candid reflections on fatherhood have polarized audiences. While many parents resonate with his message, others express disdain, viewing children as impediments to personal freedom and success. The Real Workout: Parenthood Sal and Timmerie delve into the essence of parenting, contrasting the societal portrayal of it as a burdensome life sentence with the reality of its unparalleled emotional rewards. They tackle the pervasive myths surrounding the financial and lifestyle "costs" of children, arguing that the real sacrifice lies not in what you give up but in what you gain: a love that transcends self-interest, fostering personal growth and deep, meaningful connections. Cultural Conditioning vs. Fulfillment Sal points out the emptiness of chasing wealth and beauty at the expense of missing out on the deepest human relationships possible.  A Call to Action: Rethink Happiness It's a call to reevaluate societal values and personal priorities.

The Mystical Enigma of the Burial Cloths: Shroud of Turin & Sudarium of Oviedo Imagine stepping into the past, into the empty tomb of Jesus, only to find the burial cloths, mentioned in the Gospel of John, mysteriously abandoned. These aren't just any cloths; they're the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of Oviedo, loaded with scientific clues that beckon the truth of Jesus' resurrection. Fr. Robert Sptizer joins Timmerie to explain.  The Shroud of Turin: A Canvas of Blood and Mystery The Shroud of Turin is a celestial map to the passion of Christ, marked with 372 bloodstains that align perfectly with the anatomy of crucifixion wounds. The image on the shroud, a haunting negative of a crucified man, defies explanation. How could a medieval forger concoct a masterpiece that exhibits blood stains anatomically accurate without the image, only for the image to appear later, floating on the very surface of the fibers? It's a riddle that screams of a divine fingerprint. Science Meets Divine: The Radiation Theory Fr. Spitzer unravels the only plausible explanation for the shroud's image: a burst of radiation, a divine light so intense, it leaves the perfect imprint of Christ's crucified body. It's a miraculous event where the body of Jesus generates a blast of light energy, revealing not just the external but the very bones within, in precise three-dimensional detail. The Sudarium of Oviedo: A Twin Testament The Sudarium of Oviedo, the face cloth of Jesus, presents over 120 points of congruence with the Shroud of Turin, solidifying their connection to the same divine event. This isn't coincidence; it's celestial confirmation. Debunking the Debunkers: The Carbon Dating Controversy Critics clung to carbon dating results from 1988, suggesting the shroud was a medieval creation. Yet, this claim crumbles under the weight of comprehensive scientific scrutiny, proving the shroud's origins trace back to the time and place of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. The Verdict: Science Embraces Faith Father Spitzer and Timmerie shine a light on the undeniable evidence of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, engraved not just in the fabric of the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of Oviedo but in the very heart of science. This Easter, let the skeptics come forward, for here lies the proof, a testament to the greatest truth ever told.

In a world obsessed with glitz and glamour, Eva Mendes took a daring leap into the realm of stay-at-home parenting, trading red carpets for play mats and script readings for storytime. 🎭📚 Timmerie reflects on the heart of this choice, comparing it against the backdrop of modern views on marriage and family life. The Great Irony: Marriage, an Outdated Institution? 🤔 Eva Mendes, known for her roles alongside Ryan Gosling, her partner and father of their two daughters, stirred the pot by calling marriage "old-fashioned" and "archaic." Yet, she embodies the essence of dedication by stepping away from her career to nurture their children full-time. Timmerie challenges this contradiction, emphasizing marriage's timeless value in cementing a family's foundation. The Glamorous Life of a Full-Time Mom 👩‍👧‍👧 Choosing to be a stay-at-home parent in today's fast-paced world is nothing short of revolutionary. Mendes shares her journey of leaving the limelight to focus on her most significant roles yet: being a mother to her two girls. This decision, far from diminishing her, shows the profound impact of parental presence on a child's life. 🌱 The Grocery Store Revelation: Celebrating the Stay-at-Home Parent 🛒💖 An encounter at the grocery store becomes a powerful testament to the value of being there for one's children. Amidst aisles of ordinary life, an older woman's affirmation of Timmerie's choice as a "privilege" for her children spotlights the rarity and significance of such a commitment in today's society.  Redefining Privilege: The True Cost of Parenthood 💸 Addressing the elephant in the room, Timmerie dismantles the notion that stay-at-home parenting is a luxury reserved for the privileged few. Whether it's Eva Mendes or any other parent making this choice, it's a journey marked by sacrifice, love, and a profound understanding of what truly matters. 🏡 A Call to Action: Embracing Our Greatest Work Timmerie reminds us that our most extraordinary achievements aren't found in accolades or career milestones but in the lives we touch and the faith we pass on to our kids. From Eva Mendes' example: the message is clear: our families are our greatest work. ❤️ The Stay-at-Home Odyssey 🚀 Timmerie invites us to reflect on the faith and values that guide our lives. In a world where career often takes precedence, choosing to be present for one's family is a radical act of love and sacrifice. Let's recognize that the true measure of our lives lies not in our public accolades but in the private moments of connection and care that shape the hearts and minds of the next generation. 🌍💕

At first glance, it's a pop sensation wrapped in scandal and self-justification.

In a culture obsessed with moving on without accountability, Timmerie challenges us to pause and reflect this Lent. The episode isn't merely a critique of Ariana's actions but a profound invitation to introspection. How often do we justify our sins instead of seeking reconciliation and showing true remorse?

Dive into the astonishing saga of St. Valentine, a story that transcends the fluffy, commercialized narratives we're spoon-fed each February 14th. It's a tale that marries defiance, love, and ultimate sacrifice, making those heart-shaped boxes seem a tad trivial in comparison. 🎖️ A Rebel with a Cause: Imagine a time when love was literally a battlefield. Enter St. Valentine, a priest with the audacity to defy Emperor Claudius II's ban on young lovers tying the knot. Why the ban? Claudius believed bachelor soldiers fought better than their hitched counterparts – a notion St. Valentine wasn't buying. He championed the Sacrament of Marriage, asserting its pivotal role in human and spiritual life, even when it meant staring death in the face. 💔 A Three-Part Tragedy: St. Valentine's commitment to love's cause led him to a grisly end: beating, stoning, and finally, decapitation. It's a testament to the enduring power of love and the sacramental bond of marriage. St. Valentine wasn't just facilitating secret weddings; he was laying down his life for the belief that love, blessed by the Church, is worth fighting for. 💌 The Original "Your Valentine": Locked away, St. Valentine's legend grew through his correspondence with a young girl. Curing her blindness, their exchanged letters – signed "Your Valentine" – became love's timeless essence. This gesture not only reminds you of the lost art of letter-writing but also Valentine's deep conviction in the personal sacrifice for love. 📜 A Call to Endurance: Reflecting on Valentine's and St. Paul's sufferings, we're invited to ponder the place of hardship in our lives. Is suffering merely an obstacle, or can it be a pathway to transcendence and deeper union with God? Pope St. John Paul II, in his encyclical Salvifici Doloris, shows suffering as a means to surpass our limits and embrace our divine destiny. 🔥 A Lenten Challenge: As we start Lent, St. Valentine's story urges us to consider our sacrifices not just as acts of deprivation, but as transformative, love-driven endeavors aimed at combating sin and fostering personal sanctity. In the grand tapestry of Catholic saints, St. Valentine emerges not just as the patron of lovers but as a warrior for the sanctity of marriage, a bearer of hope, and a martyr for the faith. His story, etched in the annals of Christian history, challenges us to look beyond the superficial and discover the profound, sacrificial nature of true love. So, this Valentine's Day, let's remember the man, the myth, the martyr who showed us that love is worth fighting for, even unto death.

Trending with Timmerie takes you deep into the heart of the internet's latest obsession: the budding romance between pop icon Taylor Swift and football superstar Travis Kelce. With the world watching, speculation runs wild: Will Kelce bend the knee with a ring if he clinches the Super Bowl? 🎶🏈 The duo has been under the digital microscope, sparking debates and fake news alike – from engagement rumors to baby talks, all of which Kelce humorously dismisses, focusing solely on his Super Bowl aspirations. Yet, behind the celebrity sheen lies a deeper cultural conundrum that Timmerie keenly observes: Why does the idea of Swift and Kelce speeding towards engagement ignite such fervent opposition? The sight of Swift cozying up with Kelce's mom had minds racing – is this moving too fast? Yet, this rapid progression isn't just about celebrity timelines; it's a mirror reflecting society's complex relationship with commitment, marriage, and the very foundation of family life. ❤️ Amidst our collective love affair with love stories, Timmerie suggests a paradox: while we cheer for romance, the prospect of marriage and, more profoundly, family life stirs deep-seated fears. It's as if society is caught in a whirlpool of wanting "happily-ever-afters" but dreading the sacrifices they entail – from dealing with personal and familial flaws to facing the monumental responsibility of parenthood. Marriage, as Timmerie enlightens, is the beginning of a grand, albeit challenging, adventure. It's a divine call to transform, to embrace a mission larger than oneself – a theme resonant throughout history. This transformation, symbolized by a change of name in marriage, signifies a readiness to embark on life's most rewarding journey: family. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Timmerie peels back the layers of societal skepticism surrounding marriage, highlighting the beauty and permanence of the commitment. She shares insights from older couples, whose enduring love stories stand as testaments to the power of faith, fidelity, and the willingness to weather life's storms together. As for Swift and Kelce, their whirlwind romance, whether it heads down the aisle or not, serves as a poignant reminder of what truly matters: finding someone willing to dive into the depths of commitment, to sacrifice, to grow, and perhaps, to build a family. In a world quick to cynically swipe left on the idea of lasting love, their story invites us to ponder the possibility of saying "yes" to life's greatest adventure. As you await the next chapter in the Swift-Kelce saga, let's reflect on our own views of love, marriage, and the courage to embrace the fullness of life. After all, in the grand tapestry of human experience, it's love, commitment, and the joy of sharing life with another that weave the most enduring stories. Now, over to you: Are you team #SwiftKelce, or do you find yourself pondering the deeper implications of their high-speed love story?

Dr. Michelle Cretella, a respected pediatrician and researcher, delves into the rarely discussed, irreversible harms associated with puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender transition surgeries. Her insights shed light on a controversial topic, offering a much-needed medical perspective on treatments increasingly offered to young individuals struggling with their gender identity. Puberty: A Vital Developmental Stage, Not a Disease Dr. Cretella emphasizes the natural importance of puberty, a critical period for physical, psychological, and emotional development. She warns against the premature halt of this process through puberty blockers, highlighting the deprivation of normal growth experiences and the irreversible damage done to children's bodies and minds. It's a stark reminder from her: puberty is "not a disease" to be cured but a natural stage of human development. The Unspoken Consequences: Bone Health, Brain Development, and Fertility The conversation unveils concerning evidence on the long-term effects of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, including severe bone density loss leading to osteoporosis and increased fracture risks in adulthood. Furthermore, Dr. Cretella raises alarms about potential cognitive impairments and the disturbing reality of induced infertility in young patients. These interventions, she argues, not only disrupt natural bodily functions but may also sterilize children—a grave concern echoing themes of eugenics and population control under the guise of therapeutic intervention. A Call to Compassion and Ethical Responsibility Dr. Cretella's message is clear and urgent: the medical community and society at large must reconsider the approach to treating gender dysphoria, especially in children and adolescents. The push towards irreversible treatments without fully understanding the long-term consequences is, in her words, "evil." This poignant discussion calls for deeper compassion, ethical responsibility, and a commitment to truly helping individuals struggling with their identity without resorting to potentially harmful and life-altering procedures. 🙏 Let Us Pray for Wisdom and Compassion As we navigate these challenging waters, may we seek wisdom, understanding, and above all, compassion for all individuals, especially the most vulnerable among us. Let's pray for guidance in finding ways to support those struggling with their identity, in a manner that respects the dignity and sanctity of every human life.

Have you memorized all of the 12 Days of Christmas song? Did you know that these themes in the song had a deeper Catholic meaning? Prepare to get the song stuck in your head as you dive deep into some catechetical truths! Timmerie unveils the song's potential role as a secret catechism tool during times of Catholic persecution in England (1558-1829). This joyous melody might have served as a covert means for Catholic children to learn and remember their faith. Here's a breakdown of the hidden Catholic meanings in each verse: Partridge in a Pear Tree: Jesus Christ, the self-sacrificing savior. Two Turtle Doves: The Old and New Testaments, symbolizing the continuity and revelation of God’s word. Three French Hens: The theological virtues - Faith, Hope, and Charity. Four Calling Birds: The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Five Golden Rings: The Torah (first five books of the Bible.) Six Geese A-Laying: The six days of creation.

If you're confused about the latest Vatican document “Fiducia Supplicans," Timmerie and LMFT Michael Gasparro unpack it for you so you can get some clarity and understanding. The big question? Can same-sex unions be blessed by the Church? The answer, straight from the Vatican's pen, is a nuanced exploration of blessings, sacraments, and Church teachings. 🔍 The Misconception: Media outlets are buzzing with the idea that the Catholic Church now endorses same-sex marriages or blessings for these unions. But hold your horses! The document from the Vatican clarifies this isn't the case. 🙏 Blessings for All: Yes, anyone can receive a blessing - that's a big, resounding yes from the Church. But here's the kicker: a blessing is not an endorsement of lifestyle choices that go against Church teachings. It's more about seeking God's grace and mercy, regardless of one's life situation. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family and Faith: The document dives deep into the history and theology of blessings, from parents blessing their children to priests bestowing blessings in their first year of priesthood. 📜 Sacrament vs. Blessing: A significant distinction is drawn between sacraments (like matrimony) and blessings. Sacraments have specific doctrinal and liturgical frameworks, while blessings are more about invoking God's presence in various life situations. 🙌 Blessing ≠ Approval: The Church emphasizes that a priestly blessing is not an acknowledgment or condoning of lifestyles contrary to Church teachings. It's about praying for God's intervention and grace in one's life. The document is crystal clear - same-sex unions or relationships cannot and will not be blessed in a way that suggests the Church's approval.  💬 The Takeaway: The Church is not green-lighting same-sex marriages or equating them with sacramental marriages. Instead, it's reiterating the universal call to God's mercy and grace while maintaining doctrinal fidelity. 📣 Message to the Media: The media is clearly not helping you to get the truth. You know that it's often about advancing an agenda. Timmerie and Michael Gasparro criticize mainstream media for blurring the lines and misrepresenting the Church's stance, urging you to dive into the document themselves for a clear understanding. In short, the Church is standing firm on its teachings, while also extending the olive branch of blessings to all, in the hope of guiding everyone closer to God's love and truth. 🕊️✨

Why are so many young people celebrating the fact that they don't have kids? Does this upset you? There could be more to the story. Timmerie reflects on the DINK lifestyle, a term coined for "Dual Income, No Kids." Social media has been buzzing with viral TikTok videos of couples celebrating their child-free existence, boasting about their freedom, ample sleep, and disposable income spent on luxuries like fancy lattes and exotic vacations. 🤔 Timmerie's Insightful Takes: Beyond the Surface: Timmerie urges listeners to pause their judgment. She points out that many couples might opt for the DINK lifestyle not out of selfishness but due to fertility struggles like PCOS or thyroid issues. Culture's Impact: She highlights the prevailing 'you do you' mindset and social media's influence, which encourages sharing life's highlights while masking the struggles. This creates a veneer of a carefree, glamorous life without children. Deeper Wounds and Defiance: Timmerie suggests that the DINK lifestyle might stem from wounds or defiance. For some, it's a response to infertility or a conscious choice rooted in their own challenging family backgrounds. Lack of Exposure to Family Life: She notes a generational gap in exposure to family life and children. Many in her generation grew up with limited interaction with children, influencing their perception of family life. The Joy of Parenthood Overlooked: Her husband’s perspective adds a poignant touch, highlighting the joy and fulfillment parenthood brings, which DINK advocates might not fully appreciate due to their own experiences or lack thereof. Cultural Tension: Timmerie looks at the cultural tension between having and not having children, showing how DINK advocates might be defending their lifestyle amidst criticism.

If you're a parent, you're probably concerned about the lies your children are being fed about gender. What can you do about it and how you can share the truth?  Timmerie debunks the lies surrounding the Trans Day of Remembrance. She dives deep into a narrative that's toxic for your kids and society as a whole.  🧒 Children at the Core: A poignant part of her discussion centers around children grappling with transgender identities. She highlights the tragic link to mental health crises, school shootings, and the alarming rate of suicide among this demographic. 🔍 Debunking Myths and Misconceptions: Timmerie challenges the narrative that transitioning is the solution to gender dysphoria. She cites studies showing that a majority of children who do not transition eventually reconcile with their biological sex. This, she argues, is in line with sound psychological practices. 🧠 The Mental Health Parallel: Drawing a parallel with mental health therapy, Timmerie likens gender dysphoria to a patient denying the existence of a healthy limb. She argues for therapy that aligns with reality, rather than affirming a patient's misguided beliefs about their physical body. 🌊 A Wave of Identity Crisis: Timmerie observes a deep-seated crisis of identity among the youth, exacerbated by societal pressures and objectification. She illustrates this with vivid examples from a visit to an aquarium, where she observed the stark contrast in how young girls present themselves. 📚 Education and Media Critique: She criticizes the mainstream media and educational approaches, accusing them of covering up links between school shootings and gender identity confusion, and promoting a harmful narrative. 💔 A Heartbroken Host: Timmerie's tone is one of sorrow for young individuals lost in an identity crisis. She emphasizes the need for sound therapy that aligns with biological reality and the teachings of the Church. 🙏 A Call to Action: Ending on a note of faith and truth, Timmerie urges you to guide those struggling with their identity towards truth and reality, emphasizing the power of prayer and the strength found in Jesus Christ.

You may have been saddened to hear about singer Sabrina Carpenter recently releasing a very inappropriate music video. It's important to be aware that the video for her song "Feather" is something your kids should stay away from. Timmerie discusses the controversial music video and criticizes the video for its desecration of a Catholic church and its portrayal of toxic themes. She describes the video's storyline, which involves Sabrina Carpenter attending a funeral for men who fought over her and includes a scene where she kills a man for taking her photo without consent. Timmerie expresses her shock and disapproval of the content, mentioning how it promotes negative traits like vengeance, manipulation, and self-centeredness. She contrasts these with virtues such as humility, forgiveness, and charity, encouraging young women to embrace these positive values. Timmerie stresses the importance of using one's beauty and femininity for good, establishing healthy boundaries, and engaging in acts of charity and humility. Don't give up hope! Be sure to pray for Sabrina's conversion and for young women to pursue virtue in today's toxic culture.  (Some content may not be appropriate for all audiences.)

Abortion deeply hurts women, and so often they feel forced into getting one. The pain, trauma, and heartache that women face after abortion is often ignored by the media, but the facts remain. Abortion is not pro-woman. In a recent episode of "Trending," Timmerie reflects on the revelation that pop icon Britney Spears underwent an abortion in her teenage years, an experience she deeply regrets. This information surfaced ahead of the release of her memoir, where Britney candidly discusses the profound emotional turmoil and post-abortion suffering she faced. She recounts her relationship with Justin Timberlake, emphasizing his unwillingness to embrace fatherhood at the time. Spears even connects the theme of her song "Every Time" to this traumatic experience, with lyrics that poignantly depict her emotional struggle and the haunting loss of her child. Watching her past performances, it's evident that the pain of her abortion weighed heavily on her, influencing her behavior and mental well-being for decades. Timmerie points out the importance of men stepping up during these challenging times of unplanned pregnancy.  Drawing from Britney's experience, she advocates for the need to provide support and resources for women who've had abortions, emphasizing the importance of healing.

Do you know someone who struggles with gender ideology? You may feel confused, conflicted, and not sure of how to show true compassion. You can get sound encouragement and advice in this podcast. In the clip of "Trending with Timmerie," the main focus is on the teachings of the Catholic Church regarding the body and soul, especially in the context of the contemporary gender identity crisis. Key points from Timmerie include: Identity Crisis: The modern world is facing an identity crisis where individuals are questioning their identities, beliefs, and purpose. There are some who hate their bodies and who God created them to be. This is not limited to the transgender community but is pervasive across different groups of people. The Body and Soul Unity Document: The San Francisco Archbishop Salvador Cordileone and Oakland Bishop Michael Barber released a joint document titled "Body and Soul Unity of the Human Person." It emphasizes the teachings of the Catholic Church on human sexuality, gender, marriage, and their implications for the gender crisis. Gender Ideology: The document acknowledges the rise of gender ideology in today's society. This ideology is seen as contrary to the Church's teachings as it denies aspects like male and female differences, the unity of body and soul, and the anthropological basis of the family. Body-Soul Unity: The Church emphasizes the unity of body and soul, asserting that one cannot be a different gender trapped in a body. The belief is that body and soul are created together at conception, making them inseparable. Image of God: Being male or female is seen as a divine creation and is viewed as a good, willed by God. The complementary nature of males and females is understood to reflect the Trinitarian nature of God. Challenge of Gender Ideology: The Church acknowledges the challenges faced by those struggling with their gender identity. While the Church stands by her teachings, it also stresses compassion and love towards everyone. Compassion vs. Approval: An essential distinction is made between being compassionate towards someone and approving of their choices or behavior. True compassion, according to the Church, involves both truth and charity.  Guidance for those with Gender Dysphoria: For those experiencing gender dysphoria, the Church recommends approaching the issue with a combination of understanding the teachings of the Church, seeking genuine Christian charity, and focusing on the truth about the human person. The emphasis is on loving the person while not necessarily endorsing every choice or behavior.

Have you met people who think that abortion is only wrong in the last trimester? Sadly, some don't realize that abortion is a grave injustice regardless of how old the baby is in the womb. There are others who aren't even aware that abortion is actually legal at 9 months. The level of apathy is heartbreaking, and it should compel us all to action. Because of an email she received, Timmerie debunks the misconception that abortion is not legal throughout all nine months of a woman's pregnancy in the United States. She points out that states like California, Vermont, and Michigan have constitutional amendments allowing unfettered access to abortion even in late-term pregnancies. Timmerie challenges the argument that abortions mostly occur in the early stages of pregnancy, emphasizing that the size and fragility of the baby should not determine the acceptability of abortion. She criticizes the tendency to justify abortion based on the baby's level of development and highlights the importance of acknowledging the inherent value of every human life, regardless of age or dependency. A baby is a baby, no matter how small.

She introduces what TOB is, the context of the time it was given, how prophetic it was for the time we now live in.  She walks through the first 4 of the 133 talks discovering the anthropology of the human person, what Jesus means by “In the beginning”, male and female, the original state of human innocence, our fallen nature, and the redemptive dimension of the body.   Resources mentioned :  Book: Theology of the Body by Pope Saint John Paul II https://paulinestore.com/man-woman-he-created-them-theology-of-the-body-3337-138037.html

Do you think that high school seniors are getting more conservative or more liberal? Well, it's complicated.  Timmerie tells you about a long-standing survey called "Monitoring the Future" that examines the political beliefs of high school seniors and their potential implications. The most recent survey indicates that high school boys are twice as likely to identify as conservative compared to liberal. Conversely, high school girls are twice as likely to lean towards liberalism. Timmerie notes that this trend is more pronounced among young women after the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, leading to increased radicalization on issues like abortion and feminism. As young women become more radicalized, some men are also shifting towards conservative values. However, Timmerie expresses concern about a potential negative aspect, where some young boys might be adopting a "ticked off conservative mindset" as a reaction to perceived societal injustices, possibly leading to feeling hurt, angry, and defensive.  So, what can we learn and how should we respond? Should we encourage young men to give into the bitterness? Not exactly. Timmerie highlights the importance of focusing on masculinity with integrity, mentorship, and skill development, rather than just adopting combative conservative stances. Similarly, for young women, she advocates for nurturing and validating desires for motherhood and marriage at an early age, while going against the feminist message of our time.

Timothy Grumbach to reflect on what this means for our culture.

Many are leaving their personal Netflix experience to enjoy a film together in community.

Dr. Farnan highlights the importance of understanding the person in the context of relationships and rejects the idea of disassociating from one's body. They discuss the breakdown of the family, divorce, and trauma as contributing factors to the identity crisis. The influence of Marxism, communism, and feminism is mentioned as ideologies that depersonalize individuals and reject the significance of the body.
