Le Nouvel Esprit Podcast

Le Nouvel Esprit

Based on the website by the same name, we at the Le Nouvel Esprit Podcast strive to engage in the New Evangelization by addressing the modern world through the lens of Catholic personalism! Join us as we engage our times through faithful and philosophical conversations between three Catholic gentlemen about aesthetics, trends in popular culture, the stream of politics, the challenges that Christians face, and how much of it is rooted in society's view of the human person. We assert that society is in dire need of the paradigm shift to how God views us and created us to be. read less

In this video, we'll complete our analysis of 1 Corinthians 15 and explore the contrast between the earthly body and the resurrected body, the spiritualization of man through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the role of concupiscence, and the resistance of the natural man to the influence of the Holy Spirit.As we've seen in our previous videos, St. Paul's vision of the resurrection provides a transformative vision of the human person, one that transcends the limitations of our earthly existence and gives hope for the fulfillment of our human nature in Christ. In this video, we'll delve deeper into the dynamics of this transformation, exploring the contrast between the perishable and the imperishable, the mortal and the immortal, the natural and the spiritual.We'll reflect on how the spiritualization of man occurs through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which transforms the desires and inclinations of the human heart and enables us to participate in the life of God. We'll also explore the role of concupiscence, the tendency towards sin that remains in the human person even after baptism, and how this resistance to grace can impede our growth in holiness.Whether you're a theologian, a student of philosophy, or simply curious about the mysteries of the faith, this video aims to provide a thought-provoking and accessible conclusion to our series on the theology of the body and St. Paul's anthropology of the resurrection.
