TOS094 Healing the Family #6 Men and Women

For audio only PPN

Final episode of the series “Healing the Family #6 – Men &Women” with host Patti Brunner.  For the ‘Men & Women’ episode we call upon St. Pope John Paul II’s teaching on the Theology of the Body.  Male and female human beings were designed to not only be partners but to be the image of the Trinity as children are conceived and life goes forth into the world.  Men and women are created with a spirit capable of joining with the Holy Spirit and so their union must be held as sacred.  Even among unmarried people their sexuality is still considered sacred.  The family was created in the image of the Holy Trinity and Satan hates this.  Satan has turned to fight against the human sexuality of created gender.  Destruction of the family is Satan’s goal.  St. Joseph did not allow lust to take root as he noticed the Virgin Mary’s inner and outer beauty.  The media today belittles the male role models of the family as stupid and lust-filled.  So what is the remedy when confusion reigns in your family?  Can purity be restored?

TOS087 Eve – God’s First Woman

For audio only PPN

Truth of the Spirit episode, Eve – God’s First Woman with host Patti Brunner, reminds us that Adam needed a helper who, like him, was also in the image of God. Eve’s story is told to us in two different stories in the Old Testament book of the bible, Genesis. The first man was made from the dust of the earth but the first woman was made of the perfect genetic material of God’s creation of humanity.  Isn’t it interesting that the first sign of the effect of sin, the first sign of imperfection is the need to cover up?  We could guess that Eve’s first clothing line was named “fear”.  Before they sinned they were covered by the glory of God.  Discover how God covered them after the first sin.

TOS080 Do Women Need Jesus?

For audio only PPN

“Do Women Need Jesus?” is the question answered in this episode of Truth of the Spirit with host Patti Brunner.  The focus of the world tells women they need to be pretty or rich or dressy or healthy or active or smart.  But we say:  You need Jesus; Jesus is enough for you.  The women in the New Testament will tell us what that means. They help you to know who you are in Christ Jesus.  You have a choice to live as a Bride of Christ or as a ‘people pleaser’. .  Not all of the women of the New Testament were pretty, smart or healthy—yet each one is shown to become the daughter of Christ as they turned their face toward Jesus.  Those who turned away from him found death. We also discuss the decision maker:  does this affect eternity?  And how you can you grow in your relationship with Jesus?
