It was a real gift to hear from this biblical scholar on the joys and trials of his own family life. To learn of his courtship with his wife Kimberly, and of the raising of their six children together in the Catholic faith, after stepping down as a Presbyterian minister. Dr. Hahn shares of the importance of those seemingly insignificant hidden years of Jesus' life on earth, and how the model of the holy family still guides modern families today.        EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS  The hidden years of Jesus The holy family and the human family The special dignity given to women by Jesus Christ Circumcision as a covenant Prayer in the early Church LINKS AND RESOURCES Scott Hahn St. Paul Center First Comes Love Rome Sweet Home The Lamb's Supper Hail Holy Queen Hope to Die SOCIAL MEDIA Join our social media discussion group: The Dignity of Women Facebook page MORE WAYS TO LISTEN
