TOB 1: Intro to Theology of the Body
December 3 @ 6:00 pm
- Free – $30
This course will provide an excellent introduction to Theology of the Body and a solid understanding of God’s plan for humanity. The facilitators will use the DVD series from Ascension Press, An Intro to Theology of the Body: Discovering God’s Master Plan for Your Life.
The course will address the two most fundamental and universal questions:
- What does it mean to be made human, male and female, in the image and likeness of God?
- How can I live my life in a way that brings happiness and fulfillment?
This study is for every “body” who desires to reach his or her full potential in this life and become Fully Alive — young, old; single, married; clergy and religious! Participants under age 18 may attend accompanied by parent/guardian. Nursing infants are welcome.

Justin Leiner has a degree in Theology and is pursuing a Masters in Psychology from Divine Mercy University with an emphasis on marriage and family. After graduating from college, he served as a FOCUS missionary for three years at a college in Bowling Green, Ohio before serving on the missionary staff of a Catholic camp in Texas before going back to Ohio as a campus minister.
Because he is generous to the core — in May 2023, Justin donated one of his kidneys to a total stranger! After his recovery, he found our job post online and in August 2024 celebrated his one year anniversary with FRP.
Long before his employment with FRP, Justin began taking masters level courses at the Theology of the Body Institute. He recently completed his 8th course in pursuit of his Certification in Theology of the Body. Upon completion, he will be only the second person in the Archdiocese of Louisville with this Certification (the other being John Sohl, FRP’s Director of Discipleship).
Justin enjoys swing dancing and rock climbing and, fun fact — he was born and raised in the great state of ALASKA!
In addition to leading TOB courses, Justin coordinates our ministry for couples, Catholic Couples Network, and primarily serves as a content specialist and classroom presenter to 5th through 9th grade students for our BRIGHT and VICTORY ministries – giving presentations on the dignity of the human person and healthy relationships to students in over 40 classrooms throughout KYANA.
Justin is committed to helping youth understand, embrace, and live their dignity and infinite potential; and is a great witness to and passionate about the Catholic faith. He will serve you well!
