Gender and sexuality take up a lot of conversational bandwidth both online and in person these days. Many of us lack the understanding of what the Church teaches about gender and the confidence to share the beautiful truth of what it means to be a man or a woman.
Leah Jacobson is at the helm of a new program at the University of St. Thomas (Houston, TX) aimed at changing that. Today, she joins Taryn DeLong to talk about:
- The new Graduate Certificate in Sexuality and Gender (and the master’s program, coming soon).
- What the Church teaches about the wholeness and dignity of the human person.
- How each person has a unique path to sanctity, which includes their gender but is not limited by gender stereotypes.
- Monsignor James Patrick Shea’s book From Christendom to Apostolic Mission and the call to all Catholics to engage the people they encounter with Christ.
- And more!
About Leah:
Leah Jacobson is the Founder and CEO of The Guiding Star Project, a nationwide group of life-affirming medical care that honors the female body. She is also the author of Wholistic Feminism: Healing the Identity Crisis Caused by the Women’s Movement. Follow Leah on LinkedIn, Facebook, or Instagram.
