(CM #9) The Battlefield of the Heart! Directing Passions and Desires to a Love that is Beautiful!

What if the ache you feel isn’t a flaw to fix but a fire to aim? We open with the shocking power of eros—the sudden arrest of beauty, the pulse of attraction—and follow it to its true end: a life of self-gift that can heal hearts, families, and even a nation fraying at the seams. The story moves from a teenage moment of reverent awe to the Cross itself, where God’s desire for us becomes agape: “This is my body, given for you.”

Along the way, we tackle why so many feel anxious and untethered. Cut off from God, desire gets hijacked by porn, politics, and consumerism. Freedom without virtue collapses into manipulation, and culture drifts between corrupt elites and coercive ideologies.
