The Lila Rose Show

We’ll break down how the conclave works, the rich history behind it, and who the leading contenders are. What will this election mean for the Church—and the entire world? We’ll also explore the origins of papal authority and whether Catholics are bound to obey everything a pope says.

When China’s Cultural Revolution shut down all schools, Dr. Ming Wang’s dream of becoming a doctor should’ve ended.

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 causes of infertility. From cervical fluid tracking to simple nutrition and lifestyle changes, this is the empowering, science-backed approach everyone deserves to know. Whether you...

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 episode will fire you up with the bold, countercultural spirit of early Christianity—and show you how to fight...

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. Transgender surgery. A suicide attempt. And then—something no one saw coming. Walt’s story is heartbreaking, raw, and ultimately redemptive. It will shake you—and remind you that no one is beyond the reach of God’s healing love.

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 and reignite a deep love for scripture and Chri...

Guess who’s in the studio? My all-time favorite guest — my mom! That’s right, the woman who homeschooled 8 kids and lived to tell the tale. We’re talking marriage wisdom, homeschooling hacks, and yes, a few embarrassing stories from my childhood (you’re welcome). If you want the inside scoop on building a happy home, nurturing real relationships, and why hospitality might just be the secret sauce to it all — don’t miss this one. This episode might just make you cry (or text your mom).

Pope Francis has passed away. Let us now pray for the repose of his soul. What happens next in the Vatican and what does the process look like?

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 consciousness, science may be closer to proving the soul than ever before.

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.

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 interview, Emily shares how to stop playing defense and start fighting back—offering power...

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 conversation we need to h...

A powerhouse in Catholic-Protestant debates, Alex approaches every discussion with love and a commitment to finding common ground.

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 the religious freedom we often take for granted. Join Father Josiah and m...

Disney’s live-action Snow White ditches the classic love story we all know and love in favor of a modern “woman warrior” narrative. But does it work—or is it just another Hollywood blunder? Joining me is Jonathan Pageau, a master icon carver, public speaker, and fairy tale expert who’s crafted his own stunning retelling of Snow White. 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 timeless stories be saved? Let’s find out.

Planned Parenthood is now boasting about being the second-largest provider of so-called ‘gender-affirming’ hormone care in the U.S. And they’re doing it to teenagers after just 30-minute consultations.

Join us for this discussion about the future of Planned Parenthood and their for-profit killing empire.

Jac Marino Chen shares her gripping journey from the depths of ritual magic and the occult to finding redemption in Jesus Christ. After a traumatic childhood, she was drawn into New Age practices and eventually became fully immersed in a cult—practicing dark rituals and witchcraft. But even at the deepest point of spiritual darkness, Jesus met her and rescued her from that world. In this raw and powerful testimony, Jac reveals how God pursued her through the lies and deception—and brought her into the true freedom that can only be found in Him.

TThe 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 were originally designed, celebrating their distinct gifts and the way they harmonize within the family through a healthy model of headship. Erika Bachiochi, a...

Dani will debunk myths surrounding Doe and other accusers, expose Tate’s aggressive counter-lawsuits aimed at silencing his critics, and unpack the puzzling trend of unwavering support from some conservative circles despite the gravity of the charges. This revealing discussion peels back layers...

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

Convicted by Scripture, she walked away from fame and fortune to follow God, leaving behind the only life she knew. Now a wife, mother, and ministry leader, Brittni is exposing the dark realities of the porn industry and helping others find tr...

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.

With President Trump’s latest executive order cracking down on illegal immigration, many Christians are asking: What would Jesus do? Where do we draw the line between compassion and protecting our nation and families?

Spoiler: most of this mess could’ve been avoided if Hollywood had real decency and intimacy standards. Let’s talk about it.

In this episode, Lila sits down with Fr. Luke Mata to explore the spiritual principles of Opus Dei, which translates to "The Work of God." Unlike many religious groups which encourage people to leave society in order to become sanctified, Opus Dei Founder St. Josemaria Escriva taught that one can become holy through the business of everyday life, not in spite of it.

Fr. Luke also shares how his deep faith—and his mother’s example of holiness in the midst of suffering—shaped his spiritual journey, guiding him to a vocation in the priesthood where he would...
