The Total Whine PodcastEpisode 27: The Supper of the Lamb with Emily Stimpson ChapmanDream come true, I got to have a chat with Emily Stimpson Chapman about her new book, The Supper of the Lamb, a children's book about the mass adapted from Scott Hahn's The Lamb's Supper. It's an exquisite book that will capture your child's imagination, and probably yours too.
Of course, I had to talk to Emily about motherhood as well, and she shared some wonderful words of wisdom on how to pass the faith on to kids, and to cultivate a rich prayer life in the chaos of motherhood.

The Natural Womanhood PodcastCan Catholics Use NFP?It's no secret that fertility awareness methods (FAMs) can be a controversial subject. For non-Catholics, using FAMs for family planning is seen as controversial when they're (mis)understood as ineffective iterations of the Rhythm Method (of course, in reality, they're lightyears ahead of the Rhythm Method in scientific validity, and therefore incredibly effective when used appropriately). But for Catholics (who refer to the use of FAMs for family planning purposes as "Natural Family Planning" or simply "NFP"), the controversy is a completely different animal.

The Catholic Culture PodcastBring Out Your Dead - Scott HahnModernity treats the human body pretty much as a machine for the production of pleasure. It is tuned up, fueled, and oiled for peak performance, and then when it is no longer of use, it is burnt and disposed of in a maximally efficient manner. Paradoxically, the denial of a soul which persists after bodily death has led us to deny the body itself as fundamental to human identity. The allegedly soulless modern has less hope of resurrection than the Saducees ever did. We somehow fear death more yet never engage with the reality of death. 2020-07-031h 13

Summary of today’s show: The Theology of the Body as conceived by Bl. John Paul II is often misconstrued as a theology of human sexuality, but that’s only part of the story. Emily Stimpson’s new book, “These Beautiful Bones”, gives us a theology of the body for everyday life, in areas such as work and leisure, manners and modesty, food and exercise, prayer and sacrifice, and dealing with a world full of distractions.
