Estel Speaking

Estel Speaking is the speaking branch of Estel Publishing. Our mission at Estel Speaking is to guide people to the deepest meaning of who they are and who God is calling them to become, in light of their own stories and John Paul II’s Theology of the Body.

Faith can often feel empty and boring. The ironic truth is that we are each on an incredible adventure - like Frodo, Luke Skywalker, or Captain America. In the midst of a culture filled with meaninglessness, this adventure can at times be difficult to navigate. The solution to this is John Paul II’s Theology of the Body. The Theology of the Body provides the VISION by which we can re-enVISION the world and our own adventure. One might say it is a road map for us to follow.

In the world of J.R.R. Tolkien, the word Estel refers to a “deep hope.” This hope is more than just a wish that things will go well. It is a profound trust in God’s providence. It involves “seeing the unmarred in the marred” - that is, seeing past the meaningless chaos of our world and finding the beauty, meaning, and purpose inscribed within it by God. In the midst of a world plagued by a vague sense of this meaninglessness, our youth are in desperate need of a vision of the would that will lead them on the adventure for which they are so deeply yearn.
