Patrick fields calls ranging from the scarcity of military chaplains to raw personal confessions, offering hard-hitting advice while pushing listeners toward deeper faith and practical action. Unflinching, Patrick tackles tough questions on contraception, spiritual warfare, prayer, and what it actually means to get your life in order before talking about marriage. Valerie – Does the military take nuns in the service to serve alongside priests? (00:31) Arcadian – There are graves in Ireland being overseen by Catholic nuns. The media is vilifying the Church there. How do you argue for people to remain object? (04:23) Joshua - Should a person confess their sexual sins to a girlfriend? (15:01) Aaron - As I develop a passion for praying the Rosary, is it better for me to pray by myself or should I be asking other people to join me? (23:53) Donald - Why are we afraid of imminent attacks since we have had this threat since the Carter administration? I think it is silly to worry now. (29:24) Chandler (email) - Why does 1 Timothy 3:1-3 say that a bishop should be married? Seems contradicting to what our priests and bishops practice in the church. (39:55) Margaret - If contraception is wrong, how is NFP any different? (44:45) Rosemary - Sometimes we say the Sign of Cross deliberately. What about if we make a quick Sign of Cross when not saying anything? (49:36)

I've faced physical suffering that leaves me asking why God created us so weak. My pain has taught me compassion, but I still struggle to understand its purpose. I've read Salvifici Doloris, but I need help connecting Theology of the Body to my suffering. Why does God allow this? What meaning is there in our bodily weakness?After our fourth child, my husband wants to space the next pregnancy and avoid contraception—but he's unsure about relying solely on NFP. He suggests abstinence for a while, but I'm worried about the impact on our relationship. How can we honor Church teaching, respect my need for rest, and stay close as husband and wife?I struggled with the idea of hell after college. How could a loving God allow eternal punishment? Then Theology of the Body opened my eyes: what if hell is the eternal ache of separation from the One who made us for love? Could the torment of hell be like the anguish of losing our truest beloved?Resources:Click here if you'd like to make a gift to the St. John Paul II Legacy Foundation⁠⁠GOOD NEWS ABOUT SEX & MARRIAGE⁠⁠Family of the AmericasCouple to Couple League---Ask Christopher West is a weekly podcast in which Theology of the Body Institute President Christopher West and his beloved wife Wendy share their humor and wisdom, answering questions about marriage, relationships, life, and the Catholic faith, all in light of John Paul II's beautiful teachings on the Theology of the Body.Questions answered this episode:---Ask Christopher West is a weekly podcast in which Theology of the Body Institute President Christopher West and his beloved wife Wendy share their humor and wisdom, answering questions about marriage, relationships, life, and the Catholic faith, all in light of John Paul II's beautiful teachings on the Theology of the Body.---

US equity futures are firmer following Thursday's mixed close. European equities opened flat, while Asian markets ended mixed with modest moves. Trump and Xi agreed to launch a new round of trade talks, though China's readout urged the US to remove sanctions and show prudence on Taiwan. ECB cut rates by 25 bp for the eighth time, but signaled a likely pause in July. White House aides reportedly scheduled a Friday call as they seek to deescalate the feud between Trump and Musk, with both signaling openness to reconciliation. Focus turning to today's US May employment report, where NFP is expected to rise 125K and unemployment rate expected to hold steady at 4.2%.Companies Mentioned: Tesla, Blackrock, Peloton Interactive

La perspective de voir la relation entre Trump et Musk virer de l'amour à la haine a déclenché hier une chute des actifs incarnés par le dernier cité : technologie, cryptomonnaies, Tesla… Elle a aussi fait baisser les marchés, éclipsant au passage le coup de fil entre Trump et Xi qui scellait la reprise des négociations commerciales entre les Etats-Unis et la Chine.Distribué par Audiomeans.

C dans l'air du 3 juin 2025 - Paris : pourquoi tant de violences ?Après la victoire du Paris Saint-Germain en finale de la Ligue des champions face aux Italiens de l'Inter Milan, des scènes de débordements se sont multipliées en France dans la nuit du samedi 31 mai au dimanche 1er juin. Des supermarchés et d'autres magasins ont été saccagés puis pillés, des voitures ont été brûlées, du mobilier urbain dégradé… Les dégâts matériels sont très importants et le bilan humain est tragique : deux personnes sont décédées, plus de 200 autres ont été blessées. Les forces de l'ordre ont procédé à plus de 560 interpellations dans toute la France, dont près de 491 à Paris, au terme d'une nuit marquée par des incidents d'une ampleur considérable. Mais pourquoi a-t-on assisté à de telles scènes de violence ?Depuis deux jours, la polémique monte sur la sécurité autour de l'événement et sur la réponse judiciaire apportée, alors que les premières condamnations sont tombées. Quatre hommes, âgés de 20 à 23 ans notamment, ont été jugés lundi en comparution immédiate pour des tirs de mortier ou des jets de projectiles envers les forces de l'ordre. Sans casier judiciaire et insérés socialement — étudiants ou en formation —, tous ont été condamnés à des peines allant de 2 à 8 mois de prison avec sursis. Certains d'entre eux devront également s'acquitter d'une amende et réaliser des travaux d'intérêt général ou un stage de citoyenneté.Une décision de justice qui a fait réagir le garde des Sceaux. "À la suite des graves incidents d'ordre public et des désordres répétés de ce week-end, une partie des condamnations pour violences, notamment commises à l'encontre des forces de l'ordre et pour destructions de biens, ne sont plus à la hauteur de la violence que connaît notre pays", a réagi Gérald Darmanin sur X ce mardi 3 juin au matin, avant de proposer de "faire évoluer radicalement la loi". Selon lui, il faudrait "supprimer les aménagements de peine obligatoires", "supprimer le sursis" et "mettre en place par la loi une condamnation minimale systématique une fois la culpabilité reconnue". "Par exemple, trois mois de prison ferme (réellement exécutés) minimum pour toute agression envers un représentant de l'État, ou encore une amende très élevée pour toute destruction", a poursuivi le ministre de la Justice.Les violences en marge de la victoire parisienne ont également enflammé les débats ce mardi à l'Assemblée nationale. Le groupe LFI a annoncé le dépôt d'une demande de commission d'enquête "sur la gestion de la sécurité publique après le match" PSG-Inter. Les Insoumis, qui comptent sur le soutien d'autres groupes pour faire prospérer cette initiative, entendent ainsi "expertiser ce fiasco dont le ministre de l'Intérieur", Bruno Retailleau, est à leurs yeux "directement responsable".Ciblé par l'extrême droite pour son inaction, le ministre de l'Intérieur est aussi critiqué à gauche pour ses propos. En qualifiant à nouveau les fauteurs de trouble de "barbares", il s'est attiré les foudres de plusieurs élus. "Ce tweet est indigne d'un ministre de l'Intérieur républicain. Il faut refuser la violence de ceux qui voudraient gâcher la fête, mais pourquoi utiliser ce vocabulaire : “barbare”, “sauvage”, c'est-à-dire : étranger et quasi animal ?", a déploré le député NFP de Seine-Saint-Denis Alexis Corbière.Dans ce climat tendu, un autre drame a secoué l'opinion : le meurtre de Hichem Miraoui, abattu devant son domicile à Puget-sur-Argens (Var). Bruno Retailleau a qualifié les faits de "crime raciste" mais le patron des socialistes Olivier Faure juge qu'il "participe au débat public avec ceux qui, à l'extrême droite, cherchent à banaliser le racisme, à expliquer qu'il y a une forme de menace qui serait créée par nos concitoyens d'origine étrangère".Alors, que s'est-il passé en marge de la victoire du PSG ce week-end ? Pourquoi ces scènes de violence après une grande célébration sportive ? Plus largement, pourquoi les violences à l'encontre des représentants de l'État, notamment les maires, sont-elles si nombreuses ? Enfin, que sait-on du meurtre de Hichem Miraoui, dont s'est saisi le parquet antiterroriste ?LES EXPERTS :- Alain BAUER - Professeur de criminologie - CNAM- Christophe BARBIER - Éditorialiste politique, conseiller de la rédaction - Franc-Tireur - Nathalie MAURET - Reporter politique - Groupe de presse régionale Ebra- Audrey GOUTARD - Grand reporter - France Télévisions, spécialiste des faits de société- Arnaud DE SAINT-REMY (en duplex) - Avocat spécialiste du droit des mineursPRÉSENTATION : Caroline Roux - Axel de Tarlé - REDIFFUSION : du lundi au vendredi vers 23h40PRODUCTION DES PODCASTS: Jean-Christophe ThiéfineRÉALISATION : Nicolas Ferraro, Bruno Piney, Franck Broqua, Alexandre Langeard, Corentin Son, Benoît LemoinePRODUCTION : France Télévisions / Maximal ProductionsRetrouvez C DANS L'AIR sur internet & les réseaux :INTERNET : francetv.frFACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/Cdanslairf5TWITTER : https://twitter.com/cdanslairINSTAGRAM : https://www.instagram.com/cdanslair/

US equities were higher in Tuesday trading as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reversed pre-market declines to finish higher for a second-straight session. The Market continued to grind higher ahead of NFP on Friday with the report expected to highlight fairly resilient hard data. April JOLTS job openings of 7.391M were higher than the 7.100M consensus, while the prior was revised slightly higher.

George Goncalves, Head of Macro Strategy in the Americas, walks us through the latest developments in US macro and markets which was covered in the last monthly titled "The Great Whiplash". George highlights that the constant policy shifts, especially on the trade front, has led to tight trading ranges - even as we sit at local highs in both stocks and rates. Given the constant news flow challenges, and that it pays to be tactical in this environment, George previews the upcoming NFP jobs report and what to expect and what it will mean for Fed policy options ahead.

The Vancouver Whitecaps fell 5–0 in their Concacaf Champions Cup Final against Liga MX's Cruz Azul in a night that ranks among the worst performances in club history. On Episode 234 of NFP, Ben and Alex discuss where it all went wrong, how things could have been better, and how the Whitecaps can move on from the heartbreaking loss. Ben shares some Concacaf tales from his time covering the match in Mexico City as well, while Alex reports back after seeing the fan zone in Vancouver for himself. Hosted on Acast.

Meet the Guest: Dr. Susan Caldwell Dr. Caldwell is a NAPRO-trained women’s health and fertility specialist, former birth control prescriber, and cradle Catholic who didn’t always agree with Church teaching... until science (and some divine nudging) got her attention. This episode is full of important info, but please remember: This isn’t medical advice. Talk to a trusted physician (preferably one who respects your faith and your fertility!) before making any health decisions. The Big Shift: From Pill-Pusher to Pro-Woman Doc Dr. Caldwell shares her eye-opening journey: -Took the Pill herself for 10 years, thinking it was “just what women do” to pursue professional goals. -Prescribed it for years without question...until she started seeing patterns: breast cancer, strokes, blood clots in young women. -She realized the risks weren’t “one in a million” flukes. They were dangerously underplayed. -When she actually looked into the science and pathophysiology, it blew her mind and opened her heart to what the Catholic Church had been saying all along. The Risks Are Real (And They're Not "Just Catholic") Here’s why any woman should be concerned: 1. It’s a Group 1 Carcinogen That’s the same level as cigarettes and asbestos. We don’t call that “healthcare.” 2. Mental Health Meltdown Taking birth control while your brain is still developing (under 25) can cause permanent anxiety and depression. 3. Damaged Fertility Many women who delay pregnancy find out too late that birth control sabotaged their fertility. 4. It Can Kill Babies Many forms of contraception don’t just prevent pregnancy; they can act as abortifacients. Little lives lost without anyone knowing. It’s Not Just About Morality. It’s About Mercy. Dr. Caldwell stopped prescribing the Pill... not just because of Church teaching, but because she couldn't, in good conscience, ignore the science anymore.She even apologized to patients she’d previously prescribed it to. Was it scary? Oh yeah. Did some patients walk away? For sure. But many stayed, listened, and even came back later with more questions. Seeds planted. Real Talk: Women Deserve Better Timmerie and Dr. Caldwell passionately argue that: -Contraception is bad medicine. -Women are not being told the truth about their bodies. -It's not “just a Catholic issue.” It’s a human dignity and health issue. -There ARE life-affirming, science-based alternatives (like NFP and NAPRO) that actually support women’s health. Share the Truth. Start the Conversation. Because women deserve to know the full story... not just the easy one. Know someone who’s on the Pill “just because”? Share this episode. You might be the spark that leads them to real freedom.

Opening Story: Country Mart in Coweta, AmericaHost shares a humorous experience at the Country Mart grocery store in Coweta, Oklahoma, a beloved local spot with no self-checkout and bag boys who carry groceries to cars.After Mass, dressed in a suit, the host is mistaken for a preacher by four different people (a passerby, a deli customer, the cashier, and a bag boy).Jokes about leveraging his "preacher hair" and suit to become the mayor and preacher of Coweta, introducing the concept of "nondenominational Catholic" (a playful term explained as Catholics not being a denomination, derived from Latin de nominae meaning "other name").Reflects on the Christian culture of the store, where such assumptions are a kind gesture.Coweta Anecdote: Natural Family Planning (NFP) StoryHost recounts a family story about his parents, the first NFP teachers in Oklahoma, teaching the Couple to Couple League's symptothermal method.A humorous moment from a class where a participant mispronounced "coitus" as "Coedes," leading to an ongoing family joke about Coweta (pronounced similarly).Mentions his in-laws' involvement in promoting NFP classes and their eventual move to Coweta, tying it to the town's significance.Listener Question: Plenary Indulgence During Sede VacanteListener query: Can a plenary indulgence be received during a sede vacante (when there is no pope), given the condition of praying for the pope's intentions?Hosts ponder without definitive answers, suggesting:Prayer is outside linear time, so praying for the next pope or the recently deceased pope's soul might satisfy the condition.Pope Francis' intentions for the month (published in advance) could still be prayed for.No prayer is wasted; God applies it appropriately, even if the target (e.g., a soul in hell or heaven) cannot benefit.Encourage canon lawyers or experts to clarify, acknowledging their limited knowledge on the topic.Brief mention of Polymarket, a prediction market where bets can be placed on the next pope, highlighting absurd betting trends.Pilgrimage PromotionPromotion of Select International Tours, a long-time sponsor offering pilgrimages to holy sites worldwide for 34 years.Visit selectinternationaltours.com for details on their high-quality tours with excellent hotels and guides.Clarification from Previous EpisodeCorrection from a prior episode about papal eligibility: Any baptized Catholic man can theoretically be elected pope, not just clergy.Hypothetical first act as pope:One host would set a date for Blessed Carlo Acutis' canonization, expected to be a priority for the next pope.Other host jokingly suggests suppressing the Jesuits, quickly clarifying it's a jest, praising Jesuits like Father Mitch Pacwa and noting their potential as Dominicans.Main Topic: Time Management for Catholic DadsIntroduction and Context:Host shares a chaotic day (e.g., a cow in the wrong pasture) to humorously underscore the need for time management, the episode's focus.Aimed at Catholic dads balancing work, family, and prayer life.Philosophical Understanding of Time:Time is a gift from God, not an enemy, akin to grace—available only in the present moment, not to be saved or earned.Avoid the mindset of “just getting past this weekend” to reach holiness; every moment is an opportunity for sanctity through fulfilling one's vocation.Busyness does not equal holiness; faithfulness and resignation to divine providence do.References a conversation with Dr. Carlo Broussard defining time as “the measurement of change,” emphasizing human agency in shaping incremental changes toward...

Between Kate's film festival showings and Emily's speaking engagements (Buffalo last week, Ottawa this week), the past couple of weeks have been a little insane for the Stapletons and Chapmans. We did manage to squeeze in a short Q&A, though, where we answer some of your questions about NFP and Artificial Intelligence. On Thursday, May 8, though, we have a special thank you gift coming for our full subscribers. On that day, Kate will celebrate the birthday of her first daughter Brigid, whom she placed for adoption 24 years ago. We thought Brigid's birthday, which is followed so closely by Mother's Day, would make this a great time to share Kate's beautiful story about their journey, The Inner Seas, with you. The Inner Seas is a documentary about motherhood, music, adoption, and the long stories God writes. It is a testimony to the goodness of the unexpected and has already been selected by four prestigious film festivals, garnering it the much desired “Four Laurels.” As long as it is still on the festival circuit, Kate can't make it publicly available. But we can share it behind a paywall, so that is what we will do Thursday. Keep an eye on your inbox for a link to view the film. And if you're not a full subscriber, but would like to become one, just click the link below! This is a public episode.

Questions answered this episode:At a recent funeral, people spoke about God's perfect timing in death, but I wondered, isn't death, the separation of body and soul, a result of the fall? Doesn't God's will have both a perfect and permissive side, given our fallen world and freedom to choose? Wouldn't God prefer us to live forever, body and soul, rather than just our souls going to heaven? Can you help me understand all of this in the context of Theology of the Body?I was discussing sexuality with my atheist friend when she asked why the Church says masturbation is wrong. She then compared her body to a Ferrari, claiming she worked hard to take care of it and should be able to enjoy it alone. I was left speechless. What does the Church and Theology of the Body say about this?I've been practicing NFP with my husband since our marriage, but I'm struggling with my conscience. He wants to wait a year before trying to conceive, while I feel ready to start our family. I worry that NFP is being treated like contraception. I'm also feeling lonely and disconnected, especially since it's easy to abstain for weeks. How do I talk to my husband about this, and am I wrong to think NFP isn't right for us right now?Ask Christopher West is a weekly podcast in which Theology of the Body Institute President Christopher West and his beloved wife Wendy share their humor and wisdom, answering questions about marriage, relationships, life, and the Catholic faith, all in light of John Paul II's beautiful teachings on the Theology of the Body.---

Questions answered this episode: Questions answered this episode: 1. My eldest son is nearly 20, and he told us 2 years ago that he doesn't believe in God, which was incredibly heartbreaking for my husband and me. He is, however, respectful of our faith. He has a girlfriend, and they have been dating for about 4 months. She's just moved to another state to study at a university, which is about 4 hours from where we live. He's looking forward to visiting her in the next few weeks. He's planning on staying with her when he visits, which seems to him like a completely practical thing to do. How do I broach the topic of chastity and avoidance of sin with someone who doesn't claim to believe in God? I want to find a way to speak truth to him, even if it only plants a seed for the future. Any ideas or wisdom from your experience as parents and years of ministry would be greatly appreciated. 2. My wife and I are in our mid-40s. We have 4 kids ages 17 to 11. We also have 2 in heaven from a miscarriage and a premature birth. The 11-year-old was our last pregnancy. We've used NFP ever since to avoid pregnancy, but it has been challenging for our relationship with just a few days per month that we feel safe to have sex. All these years, I've been honoring my wife's reluctance and fear of another pregnancy, but I never realized my own until today. We're left to believe it is our responsibility to avoid getting pregnant because God will give us more kids whether he should or not if we give him the opportunity to. I think he's reckless about giving out children and doesn't consider the toll it could take on us. I'm not proud of this confession, and I doubt it is a good way to think of NFP. I guess I'm asking for help to see things more clearly. I should add that my wife has had hard pregnancies and deliveries, and having this 11-year gap only heightens our fears about another pregnancy. But it is not like doctors ever told us we should avoid getting pregnant or risk serious health consequences. We've just been afraid to keep going through the hardships that come with new life. We can keep up the cautious NFP approach, but it feels a lot like we're not trusting God and we're holding back from each other. I don't know the right way to think about this, and it has been a long time of uncertainty. 3. I am a 29-year-old single woman, and I come from a family with a history of sexual abuse. Some of my siblings were sexually abused by my dad. I was also sexually abused, though it was by one of my brothers when we were younger. My brother is sorry for having done this and has sought reconciliation with both me and the church, and I have forgiven him. Growing up, my mom always said that a man and a woman should never be alone together if they're not married because, quote, something could happen. I realize this might be a prudent way to live, and with everything that has happened in my family, I can understand why my mom says this. However, because of all these things, I find myself having a hard time trusting men or knowing how to relate with them without being, I think, overly cautious. Most of the friendships I have with men tend to stay at the surface level because I don't know how to open myself to them. I really want to be able to have deep relationships with men, but I also don't know how deep is too deep. Do you have any advice on how I can learn to trust men and to open myself up to having deep, intimate friendships with them? How do I know if I'm crossing over into a place of going too deep, and would it be best to wait to date a man until I've learned to not have these thoughts of what he might do constantly at the back of my mind?

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Gerard Migeon, CEO of Natural Womanhood, takes us on a compelling journey through the world of fertility awareness and women's health that challenges conventional wisdom about birth control and reproductive healthcare. What began as a personal awakening when he returned to his Catholic faith evolved into a mission to fill the knowledge gap around natural approaches to family planning and women's health.The conversation reveals how the medical system routinely prescribes hormonal contraceptives as a one-size-fits-all solution for everything from irregular periods to serious conditions like endometriosis. This approach masks symptoms rather than addressing root causes, often delaying proper diagnosis by years and creating cascading health problems. Particularly fascinating is the discussion about relationship dynamics. Couples who practice natural family planning report deeper communication, mutual trust, and even stronger physical intimacy.

How do you talk with your spouse about sex? How do you communicate your fears, struggles, needs, and love to them? Why are these conversations so very hard? And why also are they so very important? This week, we're talking about those questions and more, with our friends Renzo and Monica Ortega, authors of the new book: Lovemaking: How To Talk About Sex With Your Spouse and hosts of the podcast and Substack, Two Become Family. You'll hear about how struggles with sex and communication almost destroyed their marriage, how they overcame those struggles and past sexual sin, how they leaned into discernment as a family, and how discernment, mentorship, and a mature approach to NFP can help your marriage, too.

Questions answered this episode: Dear Christopher and Wendy, thank you for all you do. For context, my husband and I are expecting a baby again for the third time in less than three years, despite our best efforts to practice NFP. I am exhausted and facing potentially serious health concerns. My parents have never understood our stance against contraception, despite being Catholic themselves, and have always tried to persuade us to use it. Things came to a nasty head recently when we announced our latest pregnancy, and we had a major fight. My father says Catholics are not bound by the teachings of Humanae Vitae and are thus free to practice contraception because it is not, quote, ex cathedra doctrine. How do I respond to this? My dad said some very hurtful things about my husband and me. I don't know what to do. I held my ground during the argument, but now I'm starting to doubt myself. Please help. I'm a 20-year-old college student who truly started choosing Christ in my first year of college. In high school, I was in sinful relationships, but when attending a Catholic college, I wanted to stop that. Everything changed when I met a girl who inspired me to pursue sainthood, and I knew I needed to grow in virtue to date her. After seven months of waiting and growing, we began a Christ-centered relationship. But it ended after a month and a half when she chose to discern religious life. Two years later, I still struggle to move on. I've mistakenly entered other relationships hoping to forget her but constantly find myself thinking of her and comparing potential partners and even friends to her. Deep down, I don't want to let her go and feel drawn to reach out, remembering the Christ-filled joy our relationship brought to both of us. My question is, should I let go or should I pursue this relationship? I've been married for 21 years. On our honeymoon, my husband suffered an injury that made sexual intercourse extremely difficult and eventually impossible for him. We have seen doctors for treatments that were unsuccessful and very embarrassing for my husband. In time, we realized it was not going to get better, and it hasn't. By God's grace, we were able to have one child, but marital relations between us have not been possible for over 17 years. My heart aches and longs for this affection from my husband, but I long ago accepted the fact that our marriage is celibate and always will be. In the early days, we fought about this all the time, mostly because he avoided physical contact with me so as not to arouse himself, and I felt very rejected. He's never really liked to talk about this as he finds it very difficult to share his emotions. I used to pressure him to talk, but I've learned that that just isn't his way. I've also learned to see the many other ways that my husband loves me through his acts of service and dedication to our family. He is a wonderful husband, and we love each other deeply. Our strongest connection is our Catholic faith. I experienced a very deep conversion back to my Catholic faith a few years after our marriage, and this has helped me to mature and grow a deep intimacy with God. Even though I have that intimacy with God, I still at times feel so very alone with this cross and have spent most of my marriage feeling as though my husband doesn't desire me, as if he doesn't miss the intimacy because he won't share his pain with me. I have recently begun reading a book, The Cantata of Love, a commentary on the Song of Songs. The imagery in the poem is so beautiful, and it has reawakened in me again the feelings of how much I miss my husband. This part of me I mostly shut down because it's too painful to keep revisiting those unmet desires. It feels a bit like, why torture yourself by reading this? At the same time, I realized that the poem is also an allegory of the love between the bridegroom and the bride, Jesus and my soul. I wonder if you have any experience with people in similar situations and what has helped them. Ask Christopher West is a weekly podcast in which Theology of the Body Institute President Christopher West and his beloved wife Wendy share their humor and wisdom, answering questions about marriage, relationships, life, and the Catholic faith, all in light of John Paul II's beautiful teachings on the Theology of the Body.

(18:40) Chris (email) – Are their spiritual dangers at stadium events? (32:48) Tiffany - Is it licit to fast during NFP? (35:33) Rae - I told my son that I couldn't support him anymore, and he said okay and he did really well for himself.

(00:30) Maria - Mormons and multiple wives started around the same time as Knights of Columbus was started - joseph smith allowed multiple wives to take over widows.

Episode 2616 - Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino give you a lesson in Reading Food Labels 101, trickery in marketing and labeling, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2025/03/reading-food-labels-101-episode-2616 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Reading Food Labels 101 Anna loves her Owala water bottle. (2:00) If you are interested, it is available on Amazon and through Vinnie's link: https://amzn.to/3DebbSz OWALLA 32 OZ FREE SIP. The “healthy at any size” movement is being debunked. Morbid obesity is not healthy, and people who are struggling with their weight and health should know they have value; and that's why Vinnie and Anna want to help. (10:00) Vinnie understands why people want to take GLP-1, but he doesn't think it's a good idea because of its side effects. He also doesn't want people to believe that's the only way they can lose weight. People can lose a great amount of weight by going NSNG®, or low carb, and not be messing with negative side effects. (13:00) Right below the nutritional panel (NFP) is the ingredients list. (25:30) The “facts” listed on the “nutritional facts panel” are not necessarily facts, since they can be manipulated. (27:30) They are allowed a margin of error, but it's a wide one. “Net carbs” is another misrepresentation and trickery. (34:30) Watch Vinnie's documentary “Dirty Keto” to get more details. The ingredients list shows items in the order of volume; the most volume is listed first. The front of food packages can claim anything for marketing purposes. (42:00) Stick to one ingredient foods, like whole, natural foods, that are NSNG®, and you will never have to worry about it. Always read the label on packaged foods!
