Family Renewal Project is pleased to provide Theology of the Body 2: “Into the Heart”. This course is one we only offer every 2-3 years, so don’t miss this opportunity to take the next step and go even deeper into Saint John Paul II’s teachings.
If you can’t attend in-person, we are offering a virtual option!!
Pre-requisite: Intro to Theology of the Body: TOB1 or equivalent [This can include online courses from other instructors, books you’ve read, etc. If you’re not sure, just ask.]
*The courses offered by Family Renewal Project will not fulfill any requirements for the Certification Program offered through the TOB Institute.
This 8-part series on Wednesday evenings will move you deeper into the life-changing message of Theology of the Body, enabling you to apply and integrate these teachings into every aspect of your life. The FRP instructors will use the DVD series from Ascension Press entitled, Into the Heart. This is actually a 16-part study that we have condensed into 8 sessions
Receive the tools necessary to develop the sacramental worldview so crucial to living an authentic human sexuality. Learn what saints and mystics alike have always known: a life of ecstasy and deep union with God is not only possible—it is actually a lot closer than you think. This study is for every “body” who desires to reach his or her full potential in this life and become Fully Alive.
Registration fee includes: drinks & snacks on each evening
Participants have the OPTION to purchase your own paper or digital copy of the workbook and online access to the videos for one year. This is a separate transaction; please visit the Ascension Press website HERE to see options & pricing.

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTORS:
John Sohl
FRP Director of Discipleship
John is a graduate of Western Kentucky University who loves hunting, fishing, hiking, theater, videography and playing baseball.
After discerning the call to the priesthood, John transitioned from seminary to the role of discipleship leader in the Archdiocese of Louisville. Some may say “youth minister,” but after five years of dedication to youth, John realized that developing disciples was the ultimate goal.
John has attended & led pilgrimages to the last 5 World Youth Days: Madrid, Spain; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Kraków, Poland; Panama City, Panamá and he and his wife attended WYD in Lisbon, Portugal in 2023.
For over six years, John served as the only male chastity instructor in the Archdiocese of Louisville. Every school year he & one of his female counterparts would teach a multi-day course at over 40 schools (Catholic, private, and public).
John is the first and currently the only person in the Archdiocese of Louisville to have completed his Master’s Certification in Theology of the Body from the TOB Institute … a major accomplishment!
John married his wonderful wife, Crystal in October of 2019. Together they strive to understand, embrace and live Theology of the Body! After many years of struggling with infertility, they are expecting their first child in late September.
