https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcVK7KYfbmw
Looking for Catholic dating and courtship advice for you or your children? Interested in the connection between St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body and Christian dating? In this episode, Dave Sloan explains how we can date fearlessly when guided by the wisdom of the Theology of the Body.
At the start of the new millennium, guest Dave Sloan was an evangelist on topics of dating, courtship, and the Theology of the Body. After failing to marry, he felt like a sham. Embarrassed, he gave up the public evangelization of Catholic singles and focused more on his own life. By simply focusing on doing God’s will, he has since been blessed with finding the wife of his dreams. In this episode, besides sharing his inspiring story of how he went from being a homeless drug addict to becoming a faithful Catholic convert, Dave Sloan shares:
