15. Finding Authentic Freedom in Chastity w/ Jason Evert

Written By Megan Burwell & Morgan Holliger

In this episode, Megan and Morgan welcome Jason Evert to the show, a renowned Catholic author and speaker on John Paul II’s Theology of the Body. He is particularly known for his ministry, the Chastity Project, which promotes the virtue of chastity as a way to find and experience fulfilling relationships. During the discussion, Jason shares compelling and enlightening reflections, including what chastity is and why it is important for our relationships, the important difference between lust and sexual attraction, and even a bit about the life of John Paul II, who modeled so well for us how to love others as Christ loves. Ultimately, Jason highlights that chastity does not lead to the repression of sexual desire, but is rather a virtue that properly orders and directs one’s desire to order to love well. Chastity gives us the freedom to affirm the inherent personal value of another through authentic love.

Megan Burwell & Morgan Holliger

Megan Burwell received a degree in Speech Language Pathology from Bowling Green State University. Her greatest passion though, lies in learning about the human person through the teachings of the Theology of the Body. This passion brought her to Washington DC to pursue graduate studies at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for studies on Marriage and Family. Her love of working in healthcare as well as for beginning and end of life issues led her to specialize in Biotechnology and Ethics within her MA in Theology. Megan most of all loves her family, living life in community, admiring nature, and learning new and beautiful things.

After receiving her BA in English at Bowling Green State University, Morgan Holliger moved to Washington D.C. to study at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute where she obtained a Master of Theological Studies in Marriage and Family and is currently studying for her PhD. Morgan is a convert to the Catholic faith, which she largely credits to her encounter with Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body in her senior year of high school. She has been involved in ministry since college, most notably serving as a co-host alongside Megan Burwell of a young adult group in Bowling Green, OH entitled "TOB Tuesday", which focused on studying the themes of the Theology of the Body. In her free time, Morgan loves music and singing, cooking and good conversations with friends.
