In this episode, Christopher West of the Theology of the Body Institute comes on the show to chat about Pope St. John Paul II's "Theology of the Body," and a whole lot more — from Descartes to coffee addictions.

We sit back and let the conversation flow about all kinds of things, including:

How a philosopher who died over 350 years ago is affecting how we think about sex and our bodies
The real meanings of hot-button words (do you know where the word “gender” comes from?)
Why you need to open up your messy life to God and what happens if you don’t
Where to find the marriage imagery in the Bible
Where the Church is headed and how to live with hope in a post-Christian world
