What if theological reflection could radically transform our understanding of human nature? Join us for an engaging conversation that promises to challenge contemporary views with the rich insights of traditional Christian and Jewish beliefs. Featuring a dynamic panel of guests, including Fr. Mario Arroyo, Professor David Capes, Rudy Kong, and Rabbi Stuart Federow, we explore the intersection of faith, culture, and human existence. Through the lens of popular culture, such as Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way,” we confront the tensions between inherent traits and religious narratives rooted deeply in the Genesis story of Adam and Eve.

Dive deep into the nuances of original sin and the concept of repentance, where Christian and Jewish perspectives offer contrasting yet illuminating views on human nature. Our discussion unravels the intriguing implications of the first humans’ awareness of nakedness, prompting a reflection on the human struggle between good and evil inclinations. Our conversation draws from St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, contemplating themes of shame, objectification, and the delicate line between attraction and lust. Our dialogue emphasizes the moral significance of our responses to sexuality, elevating the conversation to a profound examination of human dignity and respect.

Join us on this journey of faith and human experience, filled with profound theological discussion and personal anecdotes that promise to enrich your understanding of the human condition.
