The Lila Rose Podcast

A society becomes most like what (or who) it worships. Who are our heroes and how do they affect us? What is an anti-hero and why do they matter? I dive into the power of heroes and anti-heroes to transform our lives and world.

OTHER NEWS: Today is release day for my first book, "Fighting for Life: Becoming a Force for Change in a Wounded World"! It's also available as an audiobook, narrated by yours truly. Purchase wherever you buy books, or at FightingforLifeBook.com. 

What makes a man "marriage material?" What are the most valuable attributes in a potential mate? Getting this right is so foundational to healthy relationships and successful dating. I share my perspective on what's essential and why.

The podcast is back! I’m thrilled to be back in the studio and will be posting episodes at least twice a month going forward. Thank you to my amazing listeners for your patience while I’ve been on hiatus!

This week, I interview one of my best friends, pro-life speaker, author and founder of Love Unleashes Life, Stephanie Gray Connors. We discuss her whirlwind coronavirus romance which resulted in marrying her best friend last summer. We talk about the tough stuff of dating in the decade before she met her husband, including a broken engagement, and how to successfully navigate heartache and the single life.

Check out Stephanie’s books, “Love Unleashes Life” and “Start with What: 10 Principles for Thinking about Assisted Suicide,”and learn more about her organization at www.unleasheslife.com

I share what I’ve learned so far in my first year as a newlywed.

We dive into the importance of understanding the female body and how knowledge about our fertility can help transform our health!

I explore what it means to truly take care of yourself in a world of self-indulgence and why knowing the difference is essential for our health, happiness and ability to love others.

Two ENFPs met years ago and a friendship was born. We discuss all things personality, why it’s helpful, and reveal our real thoughts about the Enneagram.

Recently, best-selling author of “I Kissed Dating Goodbye” and former pastor Joshua Harris announced that he no longer considers himself a Christian, and apologized for some of his past work. We talk dating, courtship and “Purity Culture,” what’s good, what’s bad, and what I believe is the right approach to human sexuality and relationships.

Depression impacts millions of people every year, and often they suffer in silence. How do we help those hurting? What do we do if we are hurting ourselves? What role does faith play in healing depression? I discuss with leading psychiatrist and author and Dr. Aaron Kheriaty.

In today’s culture, porn is everywhere. But what are its effects? I interview best-selling author and speaker Matt Fradd on a topic that impacts many individuals and relationships.

There’s a humanitarian crisis at our border and it seems politics are more polarized than ever. What can we do? What principles should guide our response? Can we find common ground?

I respond to your questions, we talk about the 2020 elections, and I share what I left out of last week's episode.

From the #MeToo movement to Teen Vogue promoting “sex work” to young girls, there are many conflicting messages about sex today. I share my thoughts on some of the misinformation regarding sex and why it matters.

This week, an employee at Pinterest leaked documentation showing how the social media company has secretly been blocking Live Action content by adding us to a “porn block list.” I discuss the growing censorship of pro-life and conservative ideals by Big Tech companies like Pinterest, Twitter and YouTube, and how we can respond.

Abortion has been in the news almost daily over the last few months, and millions are speaking out. I wade through some of the misinformation and myths being shared, and discuss responses to some of the most common arguments for abortion on demand.
