What determines gender? How do I share Theology of the Body with someone who has same sex attraction? What are your thoughts on Vatican II? 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. Want to support the Theology of the Body Institute? Become a Patron (https://community.theologyofthebody.com)! Q1: Are we male or female because of our genitals and chromosomes, or are our genitals and chromosomes just signs of our maleness or femaleness? I guess I'm just trying to understand the larger question of what makes a male a male and a female a female. Is it something deeper than these outward characteristics that we use to see that we are male and female? Q2: Someone I love very much is struggling greatly with same-sex attraction. He is a Born Again Christian. He believes that perhaps to starve the temptations may be the only way to go. I want to bring some very basic TOB concepts to him about opening the yearning instead of starving the desires. Could you help me find the words that may help him reflect and remain hopeful? Q3: I am reading your book, "Good News about Sex and Marriage." Based off your chapter "Who Says," what do you say/feel about Vatican II? Should this have ever happened or was this a devil in disguise? Submit your question at AskChristopherWest.com (http://www.askchristopherwest.com).

"I'm not trying to kill him..." Vettel, after being told to speed up in Q3 to make sure Leclerc doesn't miss his final run. Episode 10 - Lights Out and thank god F1 has left France for another year. Let's be honest,we really struggled to keep our eyelids open, at almost 1am, to see the chequered flag at Paul Ricard, and that's not just because our eyes were sore from all those coloured lines! However we did manage to pull a few talking points out from the weekend and even though our equipment too got bored with France and we suffered some technical difficulties, we got there in the end. Are Gasly's days numbered at RedBull? Will Stroll ever make it out of Q1? Are the stewards and their penalties going to far? Is F1 broken?

Q2 Do you generally see one match type have a higher CPC than another for the same keyword, or does it vary by account in most cases. In other words do you see any pattern with CPC and match types. Or even conversion rates for that matter (if at all) Q3 You have a single Keyword like ‘plumbers’. What match type(s) do you use for that term?

Teaching: Alan introduces the 3rd immeasurable: empathetic joy, defined as taking delight in virtues of oneself and others. While an antidote to grief and general negativity in life, beware of pride which elevates oneself above others. Meditation (31:09): From your early childhood through the present, bring to mind those who have treated you well and enriched your life. Invoke a feeling of gratitude and gladness as you recall others’ virtue. From your early childhood through the present, bring to mind what you have brought to others. Take delight in your own virtue, without slipping into pride. Q&A (55:47): Q1) Are bursts of creativity during meditation nyams? And if so, should we not follow through on them? Q2) During awareness of awareness, can I remind myself with „knowing“ and „aware“? Q3) Can we be in one stage in one method and another stage in another method? Q4) Should we release inner guidance when it comes up? Q5) Is it possible to be at different stages at different times? Q6) In the Vajrayana, one brings the energies into the central channel in order to realize the dharmakaya. What’s the relationship to settling the body, speech, and mind in their natural state? Q7) In settling the mind in its natural state, I felt happy that images were appearing and wanted to manipulate them.
