S05 E01: Dr. Christopher West - Theology of the Body for Beginners (co-hosted by Guada Villanueva of Beyond Kilig)

Are you having a hard time talking about sexual morality to a friend or family member? Did you know that God's design of our body tells the whole story of its purpose and meaning?

Listen to The Jay Aruga Show podcast with DR. CHRSTOPHER WEST as he discuss the Theology of the body.

You will learn why Dr. West came to love Pope JP 2's Theology of the Body, how God wants to marry us, why Gender Ideology is the evil one's attempt to pervert God's plan for us, why social issues like divorce, same sex, marriage, contraception and pornography misses the mark, and so much more.

Dr. West is the president of the Theology of the Body Institute in Philadelphia. He leads an international apostolate spreading St. John Paul II’s teachings all around the globe. He’s author of dozens of bestselling books including, Theology of the Body for Beginners: Rediscovering the Meaning of Life, Love, Sex and Gender, Good News about Sex and Marriage: Answers to Your Honest Questions about Catholic Teaching and Our Bodies Tell God's Story: Discovering the Divine Plan for Love, Sex, and Gender. He has a podcast entitled Ask Christopher West, hosted by his wife, Wendy West. He’s also one of the most requested guest here in the podcast, that's why we're glad to have him in the very first episode of Season 5!

Our guest co-host (and co-student), GUADA VILLANUEVA, is a Campus Recruitment Team Lead. When the pandemic hit in 2020, she wanted to learn more about the Theology of the Body (TOB), she was trained by Carmela, a TOB advocate, and soon after, Beyond Kilig was born. Through her involvement in Beyond Kilig, she would like to help others and herself prepare for marriage on earth and in heaven.
