036 Monica Ashour: The Body Matters

The Mystery of Parenthood is a show on RED-C Catholic Radio, headquartered in College Station, Texas. On Tuesday January 9, 2018, Trey Cashion interviewed special guest Monica Ashour, Founder and President of the Theology of the Body Evangelization Team (TOBET). At this time, Monica and her team were in the process of completing their Theology of the Body (TOB) children's curriculum series entitled, The Body Matters. Monica explained to listeners that TOB is a form of Christian anthropology rather than just a sexology. Its primary goal is to teach the truth of what it means to human. Knowing this, TOB can be taught to young children without even mentioning sexuality. Monica and Trey both emphasized that the foundation must be laid down in every child at a young age that their body is a sacrament, a teacher, and most importantly, good.

Remember to pray, parent with a purpose, and prepare for God to amaze you!
