Theology of the Body Programs for Teens
YOU: Life, Love, and the Theology of the Body
by Brian Butler, Jason & Crystalina Evert

In an age of “selfies” and egocentrism, YOU cuts through the noise to present an authentic view of the human person. It presents young people with the extraordinary story of their creation as unrepeatable individuals. But the program doesn’t stop there. YOU: Life, Love, and the Theology of the Body introduces teens to the truth that life is not, in fact, all about them; it is about going out of themselves to be a sincere gift for others.
A dynamic faith formation program for teens in Catholic schools, parish youth ministries, Religious Education, Confirmation, and homeschool settings, YOU uses a great mix of stories, real-life examples, activities, prayers, and relevant references to the culture. It goes beyond traditional chastity programs by connecting the two hottest topics on the planet–God and sex.
With St. Pope John Paul II’s compelling vision for love and life, and a language they understand, YOU answers the questions teens have about their own bodies, issues on sexual morality, and how they are uniquely created for greatness.

Mystery Trip
Dedicated to advancing the message of the New Evangelization. In his Apostolic Letter Novo Millenio Ineunte, Pope John Paul II states, “There is a pressing need to implement an extensive plan of vocational promotion.” (NMI, 46) Mystery Trip is one of the ways we’re responding to that need. We believe that true discovery of one’s unique and personal vocation – whether that be marriage, priesthood, or consecrated life – is preceded by discovery of one’s identity as a beloved son or beloved daughter of God. Only when we trust God as Father can we free fall into the mystery of where He will lead us. Mystery Trip witnesses powerfully to this reality through the straightforward, real-life story of teenagers who are themselves the raw and unfinished products of grace, knowledge and surrender.
Mystery Trip is an up-close, honest exploration of young people on the road, trying to find their place in life. A group of teens says yes to a bus trip without knowing the destination or the duration of the trek. This feature-length reality film follows their physical and spiritual journeys as they come to grips with major questions of identity, problems at home and the fear that God may (or may not) be calling them to a mystery beyond this trip.
