Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”

Your desires are not random, and they are not meant to be medicated into silence or fed with whatever the culture is selling. We slow down and take a hard, hopeful look at what the heart is really reaching for, using Acts Six of the Claymore Battle Plan and Jesus’ blunt words to the Sadducees about the resurrection. When you see the story in “three panels” creation, fall, and fulfillment you start to understand why marriage, sexuality, and longing can’t be explained in flat, two-dimensional terms.

We also get personal and pastoral. After a talk, a young man shares his anxiety about attraction and whether he is still welcome in the Church. We answer with clarity and compassion: your deepest identity is not your temptations, your labels, or your fears, but beloved child of God. From there we widen the lens through Saint John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, where marriage is a real gift and a real sign, ordered toward something eternal rather than trapped in the temporary.

Everything comes to a head in the Eucharist, the supreme spousal sign of Christ’s self-gift: “This is my body given for you.”

We talk about wounded desire after the fall, the courage to seek truth, and the concrete “knees before phone” Claymore 10-minute morning ritual from the Claymore Battle Plan Outline, and the simple practice of reading an ACT a day from the Claymore Battle Plan Handbook and sharing it with a friend.

If you’ve been stuck trying to fill infinite desire with finite fixes, this is your invitation to start living in 3D.
