Mission Revive - Theology of the Body Thursday with Sharon Flanagan

Join your Mission Revive host Bob Newberry (he is at the helm today) for our first in an eight part series - Theology of the Body Thursday. Sharon and Bob will start to unpack the foundation of TOB and give us a glimpse into what God intended for our bodies. Sharon Flanagan has worked for the Diocese of Syracuse as a Chastity and Theology of the Body Educator. She has presented these topics many times to youth and adults in parishes and schools. Sharon received a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Stony Brook University and a Master’s Degree in Education from Syracuse University. She is a graduate of the Theology of the Body Institute and has received certification through the Institute. Sharon has been married to her husband, Jack, for 22 years and has three stepchildren.
