Goodness of the Body - The Inner Life - March 3, 2025

The Inner Life

Father Marc Lenneman joins Guest Host Brooke Taylor to discuss the Goodness of the Body * What is Gnosticism and how does it relate to the transgender movement? * Why are we so susceptible to sin through our bodies? * How do we train our bodies to fight sin? (20:49) Break 1 * How can we affirm the goodness of the body * What can you do to prepare for Lent in a personal way? * (32:27) Lauren - RR helped me discern to have another baby, through God's will for my body. (38:01) Break 2 * (39:35) Dean - For a long time in the Catholic church, the paradigm was penance; mortification or dying early. There's been a shift and now more focus on caring for our bodies. Could father talk about that shift? * (44:52) Nicole - I'm going through a process where I'm trying to prepare for Lent. Two struggles:  Physical appearance and health. Quit drinking. Going to Catholics in Recovery. Trying not to turn my addictions into working out. Struggle with fasting. I want to better prepare myself in a healthy way. Can I focus on exercise without obsessing over it?
