Megan and Morgan unpack the very common experience of suspicion, or in more contemporary terms, “catastrophizing”, in our relationships with others. They delve into this heavily psychological topic from a Christian perspective, proposing that the way out of a constant state of suspicion is through allowing God to heal the wounds that created our suspicion in the first place. Ultimately, they give some insight into how we can move from a “paradigm of suspicion” to a “paradigm of love”.

We CRAVE beauty. Megan and Morgan talk about the importance of art and its ability to shape our vision of the human person as gift. Artists shape a view of reality for culture and they have a responsibility to show the whole truth of the object being portrayed in their art. Megan and Morgan give advice on how to create a culture of life with the use of good art while relearning the truths of the human person that go unsupported by current mainstream art and media. As Americans we crave beauty. Being surrounded by art that conveys truth and beauty in and through a true worldview brings peace and consolation. But, being surrounded by art that shows a reductive understanding of the human person, focusing on its sexual value for instance, limits this experience of truth and beauty, and fails to uphold the total dignity of the human person. Megan and Morgan give advice on how to create a culture of life with the use of good art while relearning the truths of the human person that go unsupported by current mainstream art and media.

Andrew Reinhart, host of PHYSICALLY SPIRITUAL, joins us to discuss how to strengthen our original identity and heal wounds by going back to "the beginning". He provides insights on the profound relationship between time alone with God in solitude and our ability to have whole and healthy unity with others in relationships. He proposes that man's state of original solitude and original unity are related in this way: that greater solitude leads to greater unity. This discussion will open your eyes to a beautiful path of healing the heart, forming greater unity with others, and living the Theology of the Body.
