We begin our journey again in season two of the podcast. Bria joins us in this audience to discuss how our culture has a producer and consumer mentality, selfishness versus selflessness, and being a gift is the meaning to our existence.

Here is another episode exploring these long form discussions. We invited several men in the community to talk about their experiences with Theology of the Body, the view of masculinity in the culture, and the importance of having male role models and mentors.

We continue on the journey with Bria diving into the hermeneutics of the gift. In this, we discuss the what it means to affirm a person and how we receive it.

We come to the last part of the journey with Bria. In this episode, we discuss how God grace works in our lives.

We are on the journey to talk about Audience 17 with Siena. In this episode, we discuss what mutual enrichment between man and woman is and how it ties back to original innocence.

Siena's website: https://www.sienamara.co/ We continue on with the journey going through JPII's Wednesday audiences. In this episode, we talk with Siena once again about JPII's meaning of the ethos of the body, how the ethos ties to how we experience sin and original innocence, and the emphasis of our identity as brother and sister in the same humanity.

Siena joins us on the last part of this journey of these audiences. In this episode, we discuss JPII's meaning of how man and woman live in the “mystery of creation” manifested by the inner innocence of their hearts and the reality of the body as a primordial sacrament.  Follow us on IG: https://www.instagram.com/echoesoftheheartpodcast/

On the Feast Day of Pope Saint John Paul II, we have a long form episode (and I mean LONG) discussing JPII's Letter to Artists and TOB with Nick, John, and Josh. In it, we talked about different films and tv shows, vulnerability in art, the vocation that God has called those to be as artists, and the mystery of the Incarnation. There will be no regular Audience episode this Monday. It will resume next week. Follow us on IG: https://www.instagram.com/echoesoftheheartpodcast/

In this episode, Josh goes solo as he journeys through these next three audiences focusing on the meaning of biblical “knowledge.” He speaks into the depth conjugal unity has within the context of what JPII has talked about thus far. He also speaks into how pornography and general treatment of sexuality in the culture promotes an understanding of knowledge contrary to us as human persons.

In this episode, Josh continues the cycle of reflections on biblical “knowledge.” In it, he speaks into the meaning of fatherhood & motherhood revealed through the body of man & woman. He also talks about the significance of the divine image and the attack on creative love in our time. Follow us on IG: https://www.instagram.com/echoesoftheheartpodcast/

Josh continues this journey of solo episodes diving deep into what JPII speaks about biblical "knowledge". In this episode, Josh does his best to explain how biblical “knowledge” culminates in the “third”, the child, and the goodness of life.

We have to the the last episode of the season and the last audience of this cycle of reflections by JPII. In this episode, Josh and Nick go back and reflect on Jesus' appeal to "the beginning".

In this longer form episode, Nick, Anna, and Jacinta discuss a retreat made into a book, given by Karol Wojtyla (Pope Saint John Paul II), God Is Beauty: A Retreat on the Gospel and Art. Through this retreat and commentary given by Christopher West, it launched different discussions such as the definition of beauty, art, the Beatitudes, and the Incarnation.   Other book used: Beauty: What It is and Why It Matters by John-Mark L.

This is our beginnings of the journey. We introduce ourselves, our podcast and Theology of the Body.

Mia joins us for the first leg of the journey. We are going through the first audience of Theology of the Body focusing on the words of Christ.

Mia joins us again on our journey through Theology of the Body. In this episode, we are discussing the second Wednesday audience, which speaks about the first creation account. Here, we talk about manners, identity, our goodness and the care the Father had in our creation.

Mia continues the journey with us onto Audience 3. In this episode, JPII introduces us to his reflections on the second creation account, which will become the focal point of his subsequent reflections on our original innocence. Here, we speak into encountering our hearts & experiences, babies, male/female complementarity, and the boundary of sin & innocence.

Mia journeys with us to the end of the reflections JPII offers us before beginning Original Solitude. Audience 4 lays out for us the key to why our innocence can be embraced again and how we are to understand the experiences of innocence of original man. In this episode, we touch upon "the tension" of redemption, JPII's method, and discovering the echoes of our hearts.

Ben Pfundstein joins us for the next part of the journey in the Wednesday audiences. This part begins our discussion on Original Solitude. In this episode, we talk about what our solitude means, being alone and being lonely and how people form their identities without God.

In this episode, Ben joins us for our continued discussion about Original Solitude. We continue to discover the pieces that reconstruct this original experience. We will discuss topics such as our freedom to choose, the integrity of relationships and encountering ourselves within solitude.
