Week #1 - Winning the Culture War
To win any war, there are three things that you must know: that you are at war, who your enemy is, and what weapons or strategies can defeat him. Acknowledging that our culture is clearly in crisis, Dr. Peter Kreeft shows us that the only weapon strong enough to defeat the demons of this age is saints. Above all, Dr. Kreeft assures us that victory is assured for those who hope in Christ, because good always triumphs over evil.

Dr. Kreeft's modern-day spin on the Screwtape Letters was outstanding! He directly addresses the issues facing modern-day Catholicism in a manner that is both humorous and frightening in its accuracy!

Week #2 - The New Sexual Revolution
Presented by Lighthouse Catholic Youth: Studies have proven that few factors determine a teen's physical, social, educational, emotional, and even financial health as profoundly as their choice for purity or promiscuity. In this dynamic talk, 14-year youth ministry veteran Chris Stefanick shows us exactly what we're up against and how to turn the tides in the culture war for your teen's purity.

Every parent, youth director, teacher, and priest should listen to this CD. Then they should share it with their youth, after which it should be discussed.

Week #3 - Reaching Out to Todays Culture
In this highly relevant talk, Fr. Robert Barron shares observations from his dialogue with critics of his YouTube videos. He eloquently illustrates how well equipped our Catholic intellectual tradition is to access and clarify the confusion that is so prevalent in our culture about matters of Christian faith and life.
Parishioner Comments
Fr. Barron's four points to engage those who want to challenge our Catholic Faith provide sound advice and guidance.

This CD is awesome! I wish every pastor and catechist could listen to this. We all need to understand this dynamic so we can be better evangelists!

Week #4 - St. Philomena - A Saint For Our Times
Though St. Philomena lived approximately 1700 years ago, her faithful witness as a young virgin who was martyred for her purity and her fidelity to Christ speaks powerfully to our culture, and especially to young people. Commonly referred to as a "wonder worker", she is the only saint canonized solely on the basis of the profound miracles attributed to her intercession. Learn more about St. Philomena, the powerful advocate we have before God.

Truly inspiring!
Mark - Portland, OR
It's amazing that this saint withstood so much torture with such holy determination, even at the young age of 13! She is a true example of purity for all, especially in today's permissive culture.

Week #5 - Feminine Genius
Building upon Blessed Pope John Paul II's writings about "the feminine genius", Colleen Carroll Campbell discusses the uniqueness of the makeup and vocation of women. She uses the lives of several female saints to help women recognize and use their gifts to live out their faith as Christians in the modern world. Colleen hosts EWTN's Faith and Culture program.
Colleen uses John Paul II's message to show us how to affect the world with our true feminine genius. I'm going to share this with my own girls!

This talk gave me a whole new appreciation for the dignity of women. It provided a wonderful summary of authentic Christian feminism grounded in the teachings of the Church.

Colleen uses Pope John Paul II's writing about the feminine genius to discuss women's uniqueness, and help women recognize and implement our true feminine genius to walk, live, and teach the way to walk in the Lord's Word. I highly recommend it!
