TL & Kristin Putnam - On Second Thought... Against Polarization
Saturday Sep 10, 2022
Saturday Sep 10, 2022
Have we been conditioned to act on our gut instinct, our first impression, or do we take the time to look beyond our primary instinct and to our second thought?
So often Jesus saw beyond the immediately obvious and into underlying motivations. As scripture says, "man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart."
Kristin Putnam and I discuss what it might look like to reconsider our polarized impulses and ponder situations and circumstances more deeply.

Pentecost is the antidote to Babel. Through Pentecost, God breaks down division and creates the opportunity for reconciliation. We, as ministers of reconciliation, are called to live our lives attentive to the voice of the Holy Spirit who was given to the Church at Pentecost, and given to us at baptism and confirmation.

Catholics are Pro-Life! This is a consistent tenet of the faith. Her pro-life position, however, doesn't begin and end with the unborn. Rather, our advocacy for the unborn flows out of our belief in the Dignity of the Human Person made in the image and likeness of God.
Kristin and I explore the implications of this belief in this week's episode.

I'm joined this week by my bride, Kristin Putnam, cofounder of NFPAware.com and Representative to the United Nations for WOOMB Intl.
You've heard people dispel popular myths about NFP before. You've heard folks debunk the idea that NFP doesn't work, or that it is the same as the Rhythm Method. But are there NFP Myths that Catholics still believe?
We tackle the myths of:
"NFP Lowers the divorce rate"
"NFP can be used with a contraceptive mindset"
"NFP is primarily used by white-suburban-middle-class couples"
and more.
