<p>A month after getting married, Juan shares the biggest lesson he's learned so far: your spouse is a gift—but they're not God.</p><p><br></p><p>That sparks a conversation about one of the deepest struggles in every marriage and every human heart. Why do the people and things we love most awaken desires they can never fully satisfy? What do we really mean when we say, "My wife doesn't do it for me anymore"? And why does disappointment so often turn into resentment?</p><p><br></p><p>From marriage and desire to C.S. Lewis, John Paul II, and the ache for infinite happiness, this episode explores the longing beneath every longing—and where it ultimately leads.</p>

<p>Every boy desires to become a man. But what happens when authentic models of masculinity are missing?In this episode, we unpack the rise of the manosphere, the deep wounds many young men are carrying, and why so many influencers are gaining traction by speaking to those wounds. Are they offering genuine healing—or simply monetizing male insecurity? Along the way, we explore fatherhood, the need for masculine affirmation, the difference between strength and domination, and what it really means to become a man. Drawing on Theology of the Body, personal stories, and a fascinating documentary, this conversation gets to the heart of a question every man, and every parent of boys, must face: who is teaching our sons what it means to be men?</p><p><br></p><p>🎙️ Word Made Fresh Links:</p><p> 🎵 <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/45zfXd4tSlqoQQObSCLkwy?si=i1fda-9KSPe7hfP9QzYD4w">Listen WMF on Spotify</a></p><p> 📍 <a href="https://tobinstitute.org/live-events/">Tour Dates</a></p><p> 📩 <a href="mailto:wmf@tobinstitute.org">Send us your art & questions</a>: wmf@tobinstitute.org </p><p><br></p><p>Christopher West:</p><p> 📸<a href="https://www.instagram.com/cwestofficial/"> Instagram</a></p><p> 🔵 <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cwestofficial">Facebook</a></p><p> 🎤 <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2dCkL6l7ogGgbNiqMf7K65?si=d39f694c9eb7486a">Ask Christopher West Podcast</a></p><p><br></p><p>Mike Mangione:</p><p> 🎵 <a href="https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/mikemangione/promised-land">Mike's Music</a></p><p> ▶️ <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@mikemangione">YouTube</a> </p><p> 📸 <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mangionemusic/">Instagram</a></p><p> 🎸 <a href="https://www.mikemangione.com/">Mike's website</a></p><p> 🗺️ <a href="https://www.mikemangione.com/live-performance">Mike's tour</a></p><p><br></p><p>Bill Donaghy:</p><p> 📸 <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thewayofwonderofficial/">Instagram</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Theology of the Body Institute Resources:</p><p> 🔥 <a href="https://www.tobforfree.com/">3 FREE sessions of our flagship course on the TOB</a></p><p> 💬 Text TOB to (404) 647-7682</p><p> ⚡️ <a href="https://www.tobpatron.com/">Support us & get access to leading TOB formation</a></p><p> 📚 <a href="https://tobinstitute.org/programs/tobi-schedule/">Course schedule</a></p><p> 🏔️ <a href="http://tobpilgrimages.com/">Pilgrimages</a></p><p> 🛍️ <a href="https://shop.corproject.com/">Store</a></p>

<p>Join Christopher, Bill and Mike as they dive into the profound themes of the newly released papal encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas. In this insightful discussion, the team explores the tension between building a digital 'Tower of Babel' versus the human-centered approach of rebuilding the 'walls of Jerusalem.' They analyze how to maintain the dignity of the human person in the age of Artificial Intelligence, emphasizing the importance of embodied experience, the incarnation, and the pursuit of truth, beauty, and goodness. </p><p><br></p><p>📔 <a href="http://tobinstitute.org/thetruthandthelie" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">THE TRUTH AND THE LIE book pre-order</a></p><p>🎙️ Word Made Fresh Links:</p><p> 🎵 <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/45zfXd4tSlqoQQObSCLkwy?si=i1fda-9KSPe7hfP9QzYD4w">Listen WMF on Spotify</a></p><p> 📍 <a href="https://tobinstitute.org/live-events/">Tour Dates</a> </p><p><br></p><p>Christopher West:</p><p> 📸<a href="https://www.instagram.com/cwestofficial/"> Instagram</a></p><p> 🔵 <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cwestofficial">Facebook</a></p><p> 🎤 <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2dCkL6l7ogGgbNiqMf7K65?si=d39f694c9eb7486a">Ask Christopher West Podcast</a></p><p><br></p><p>Mike Mangione:</p><p> 🎵 <a href="https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/mikemangione/promised-land">Mike's Music</a></p><p> ▶️ <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@mikemangione">YouTube</a> </p><p> 📸 <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mangionemusic/">Instagram</a></p><p> 🎸 <a href="https://www.mikemangione.com/">Mike's website</a></p><p> 🗺️ <a href="https://www.mikemangione.com/live-performance">Mike's tour</a></p><p><br></p><p>Bill Donaghy:</p><p> 📸 <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thewayofwonderofficial/">Instagram</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Theology of the Body Institute Resources:</p><p> 🔥 <a href="https://www.tobforfree.com/">3 FREE sessions of our flagship course on the TOB</a></p><p> 💬 Text TOB to (404) 647-7682</p><p> ⚡️ <a href="https://www.tobpatron.com/">Support us & get access to leading TOB formation</a></p><p> 📚 <a href="https://tobinstitute.org/programs/tobi-schedule/">Course schedule</a></p><p> 🏔️ <a href="http://tobpilgrimages.com/">Pilgrimages</a></p><p> 🛍️ <a href="https://shop.corproject.com/">Store</a></p><p><br></p>
