The following videos are just a small selection of many more that people have found helpful as they have journeyed through life on their way to pursuing a heart for Jesus via striving to grow in the fullness of virtue (and chastity), as understood by the Church. These are listed not as an exhaustive list, and our hope is that the ideas within propel people in their journeys to becoming the best version of themselves that they can be, which will prepare them for the potentiality of holy vocation.
Note: Books/CDs/DVDs are listed in the last section.

In above document, the Holy Father is very clear about the dangers of this ideology: “It is a source of concern that some ideologies of this sort, which seek to respond to what are at times understandable aspirations, manage to assert themselves as absolute and unquestionable, even dictating how children should be raised. It needs to be emphasized that “biological sex and the socio-cultural role of sex (gender) can be distinguished but not separated.” (Emphasis added – please be aware of those who untether sex and gender.)

If you do not see a resource on this list, it does not mean that we have vetted it to be not included. That being said, there are ample Ministries/Organizations specifically not listed for the reason that they either do not use the language of the Church as it is intended by the Church, or because they advance positions that are decisively counter to the faith as described within the Catechism of the Catholic Church. If you have questions/concerns about a particular Ministry/Organization/Speaker, or would like to see one added, email us.
Would you like to suggest another impactful resource? Please email it to us for consideration!
