E213: Doctor Blows Whistle On Child Transgender Surgeries w/Dr Haim

When Texas Attorney General declared that transgender medical interventions on minors could be child abuse, Texas Children's Hospital claimed it shut down its program. But Dr. Eithan Haim, then a surgical resident, discovered they were secretly implanting puberty blockers. He blew the whistle—and it sparked real change: Texas passed a law banning these procedures on minors. But the story didn’t end there. The Biden DOJ targeted him with lawfare, trying to punish and silence him. Facing a $2 mill...

E212: He Tried His Hardest to Disprove the Resurrection w/Lee Strobel | Lila Rose Show

Lee Strobel was a hard-nosed journalist and proud atheist living for pleasure—until his wife’s sudden conversion sent him on a mission to disprove Christianity once and for all. But the deeper he dug into the historical record—the eyewitnesses, the empty tomb, the early creeds—the more the evidence pointed not to myth, but to fact. In this episode, Strobel shares what shook his skepticism and how his newest book uncovers chilling accounts of angel sightings and Muslim conversions through superna...

E210: The Truth About Hormonal Birth Control, Miscarriages, and Fertility w/Dr. Marguerite Duane | Lila Rose Show

Too many couples are ready to start a family—only to discover unexplained infertility and dead-end solutions. What does conventional medicine offer? Birth control to "regulate" cycles, IVF to override nature, and little interest in the root causes. Meanwhile, couples spend tens of thousands and deal with painful side effects, confusion, and heartbreak. On today’s show, Dr. Marguerite Duane reveals what most OBs completely ignore: natural, effective tools for diagnosing and healing the real cause...

How Early Christianity Outlasted a Hostile Roman Empire w/Voice of Reason | Lila Rose Show (BONUS)

What was Rome really like at the time of Christ? It was a culture of death—where women were silenced, babies were discarded, and power ruled without mercy. Then came Christianity, flipping the empire upside down. Through brutal martyrdom, early Christians introduced a moral revolution that shattered pagan values and sparked the very idea of human dignity. They didn’t just preach love—they freed slaves and redefined civilization. The wild part? The Roman world looks a lot like ours today. This ep...

E209: I Transitioned 40 Years Ago - Now I Regret Everything w/Walt Heyer | Lila Rose Show

It started with a purple dress and words of affirmation from his grandmother. What followed was a spiral of confusion, rejection, and pain that nearly destroyed Walt Heyer’s life.

E208: Tradition, Scripture, and Church Unity w/Keith Nester | Lila Rose Show

My guest today is Keith Nester, a former pastor who spent over 20 years in ministry—until one verse changed everything. When he heard Jesus say in Matthew 26:26, “This is my body,” he knew it wasn’t symbolic. Embracing that truth meant losing his ministry, his income, and nearly his marriage. He resisted at first, but as liberalism overtook his denomination, he realized only Church tradition could stand firm. Today, Keith helps others find their way home. His mission: unite Christians in truth a...

E206: The Scientific Evidence for the Soul w/Fr Robert Spitzer

Does the soul survive death—or is consciousness just brain chemistry? In this mind-bending episode, Father Spitzer takes us into the eerie world where science meets the supernatural. He shares real cases that defy everything we thought we knew: patients speaking with no brain activity, a man living a normal life with almost no brain, and a 4-year-old recounting his sister’s miscarriage—before he was even born. Even unborn babies might experience consciousness. If the brain isn’t the source of co...

E205: From OnlyFans to Only Christ w/Nala Ray | Lila Rose Show

Nala Ray was a top OnlyFans star, making millions and selling the fantasy. Then Jesus wrecked her life—in the best way possible. In this episode, we dive into her wild journey: from a faux-religious, broken childhood to internet sex fame, and finally to a shocking encounter with Christ that changed everything. We talk about her radical conversion, the judgment she’s faced from inside the Church, and why so many Christians still don’t get the Gospel. Nala's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fi...

E204: A Demon’s Guide to Destroying Women—and How to Fight Back w/Emily Wilson

Emily Wilson isn’t afraid to call out the real enemy. After years in women’s ministry and her own battles with shame, insecurity, and toxic relationship patterns, she’s seen the devil’s playbook up close. Inspired by C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters, Emily flips the script with a bold new book written from the perspective of a senior demon training a junior one—exposing how the enemy targets women with lies about their worth, their bodies, their relationships, and their calling. In this interv...

E203: Battle of the Sexes: Are Husbands Failing Moms or Is the System Broken?

Does having children make life miserable and joyless? Are husbands useless if they’re not sharing the “mental load” of the marriage? Are men sexist for only dating women willing to ditch their careers and stay home with the kids? These are the debates lighting up the internet right now—and we're not afraid to go there. Let’s talk about modern gender dynamics, the real cost of two-income households, and whether our culture is setting parents up to fail. Sound off in the comments—this is a convers...

E201: Ancient Faith & Modern Persecution: Orthodox Christianity w/Fr Josiah Trenham

What’s it like to be an Orthodox Christian in Syria? Father Josiah Trenham shares powerful stories of faith under fire. Over 12 years ago, Sunni jihadists kidnapped the Archbishop. Today’s Archbishop faces no less danger. When the leader of ISIS passed through Aleppo, he sent a chilling message: "I'll have your head." The Archbishop’s bold reply? "Come and take it—I’m not leaving my people." The courage of Syrian Christians under persecution is both inspiring and convicting—a sharp contrast to t...

We dive deep into the power of fairy tales, how they shape culture, prepare us for life’s battles, and why modern rewrites keep missing the mark. Can these timeles...

E198: Should Wives Submit to Their Husbands? w/Erika Bachiochi

The distorted version of masculinity is hedonistic and domineering, seeking control over his wife and restricting her freedom. The toxic version of femininity is self-absorbed and detached from reason, flaunting her sexuality online and encouraging her children toward gender confusion. In response to these extremes, society has overcorrected—suppressing true masculinity and femininity instead of restoring their rightful place. Today, my guest and I delve into the beauty of men and women as they ...

Brittni De La Mora was one of the most successful women in the porn industry—until one Bible verse stopped her in her tracks.

E194: The Truth About Housewives: Myth vs. Reality

The trad-wife trend tells us that a happy, well-run family relies on dad working outside the home while mom stays home with the kids and does all the housework. But is that actually how things have always been? Spoiler alert: Not really! Proverbs 31 shows that economic contribution has always been a part of a wife’s role—she wasn’t just sweeping the floor and baking bread. Fast forward to today, and many families can’t survive on just one income. So, what’s a modern mom to do? Don’t worry, I’ve ...
