CWP Q&A Name: Lindsay Elizabeth Caron Where do you work/What do you do for work? I am the founder and director of a non-profit called the Theology of the Body Parent School (TOBPS). I started this ministry 4 years ago to help parents teach their own children about human personhood, identity, and sexuality through the Catholic lens of JPII’s TOB. We now produce parent curriculum that has been given the Imprimatur by Archbishop Sample of Portland, OR, called TOB Monthly. What is your favorite part of work? I have two favorite parts - one is working IN the business - creating the content of our magazines. And the other is working ON the business - meeting with people and sharing about what I do and why I do it. I love creating vibrant, accessible, fun, and faithful content. And I love people. God is always at work in both of those spaces for me. Favorite way to Evangelize? Since my entire job is about evangelizing the truths of the Gospel, my favorite way to evangelize is in how I share those truths. I love to meet people where they are - in all their woundedness, fear, and disbelief and speak truth into those places with compassion and a deep understanding of human suffering. Favorite Saint? So many. But if I had to pick one right now it is lighting candles at Advent and Lent with my kids. The waiting comes fully alive for them when we light the Advent or Lent candles. And the senses of sight, touch, smell and sound (we use traditional match boxes) are all there. They love it. Favorite Hobbies? Organizing. Before I started TOBPS I had started a little business called Purely Simple Living. (I still take a few jobs here and there because its so fun for me and a different kind of creative outlet). I have since blended these efforts in a sense, and I help people purge and organize based on a discernment of what matters most in life. I use TOB to help with this process. Is the person really physically active but not a reader? It’s ok to keep all the sports stuff and toss the books. We all have different ways of glorifying God with our bodies and souls. I help people recognize theirs and then get rid of the rest of the stuff that is just in the way. |
