$\"\"$ <\/p>\n

In this episode,\u00a0 I\u2019m joined by Renzo and Monica Ortega, podcasters, ministry leaders, authors and the couple behind the apostolate Two Become Family. We\u2019re breaking down exactly what the Catholic Church believes and teaches about marriage, family, and sexuality \u2013 and it\u2019s an amazing conversation.<\/p>\n

We tackle Natural Family Planning, contraception, the Catholic vision of marriage (and the sanctification of spouses), and much, much more. And I couldn\u2019t ask for a better couple to have this conversation with than Renzo and Monica; they\u2019re honest, earnest, and humble and have some fantastic insights on these topics.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re newly married, newly Catholic, or discerning a conversion, listen and learn exactly what Catholics believe about marriage, family, and sexuality.<\/p>\n
