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 got you covered! I’ll share tips on how moms can be fully present for their kiddos while also contributing financially. Believe it or not, there are careers out there that actually work for moms with toddlers hanging off their legs.

The debate over whether it’s better to work or stay home has never been shaken up quite like this! Join us for a lively, honest discussion.

The internet has taken sides—Blake Lively or Justin Baldoni? Today, Lila is breaking down the fiasco: how we got here, the backlash, and the lessons everyone should be paying attention to. Spoiler: most of this mess could’ve been avoided if Hollywood had real decency and intimacy standards. Let’s talk about it.

Gateway Megachurch has been revealed to have been covering up abuse from the pastor for years. California Governor Gavin Newsom plans to ban cell phone usage during school, and the surgeon general proposes that social media apps should be required to show a warning label of the app’s addictive qualities. Also, the latest news on the Department of Justice's targeting pro-life Americans, and Louisiana’s passing of a law requiring the 10 Commandments to be shown in public schools: is this good or bad? Finally, the NBA champions Celtic’s coach Joe Mazzulla gives a surprising response to reporters! Plus I take your questions in the Live Chat! Tune in at 4pmET/1pmPT!

Have you ever read the Bible and wondered why we do not see the healing, deliverance, and prophetic miracles that seemed to be commonplace among the earliest followers of Jesus? Do miracles still happen? Can God work miracles through me? Today I sit down with Dr. Sean Tobin, clinical psychologist, to discuss the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit. Dr. Tobin is a Director of the Encounter School of supernatural Ministries Los Angeles, which is a school created to help believers know God’s love and to learn to use the gifts of the Holy Spirit to evangelize and make God’s love known in the world. In today’s fascinating episode Sean shares some of his story of being an atheist to encountering God through a charismatic priest. We also discuss what are the gifts of the Holy Spirit, are the supernatural gifts for everyone, what is the role of prophesy, what does it mean to live a “normal” supernatural life, and much more.

The American College of Pediatrics recently released a major statement regarding their request for the medical industry to no longer recommend or encourage "gender affirming care." The popular kids show Bluey has started to promote LGBT characters to kids. And the Supreme Court has rejected a lawsuit to challenge the selling of the abortion pill which endangers many lives. We discuss all this and more on today's Live!

Today we welcome Dr. John Delony, mental health expert and host of the Dr. John Delony Show, back to the podcast. After discussing how to build and rebuild marriages that last earlier this year, today we discuss how our culture suffers most from lack of meaningful relationship, how we can form a better relational culture by "being weird" and taking the first move, the dangers of judging people based solely on their dating profile page, what real accountability looks like friendships and much more.

Today I sit down with Dr. Meg Meeker, a renowned pediatrician, author and leading authority on parenting and children’s health. In our conversation, Dr. Meeker shares her insights on the critical role of strong parenting in shaping healthy, well-adjusted children. We cover a wide range of topics, including the sexualization of teenagers, encouraging young girls to embrace modesty, dealing with temper tantrums, and helping children feel loved while establishing boundaries. We also discuss strategies to avoid shaming your child, addressing pornography exposure, promoting dad-inclusive parenting, and more. Join us as we explore practical advice and the foundational principles that help parents raise confident and capable children.

I’m back! I’ll be streaming on YouTube today for my first live podcast since baby #3 was born! From Harrison Butker’s recent commencement speech to Pope Francis’ latest statements about female ordination and gay seminarians, sexuality and gender roles are being hotly debated today. Should women work or be homemakers? What role should men have? Why can’t women be priests? The answer may be surprising … I’ll be discussing the way Christians should think about gender roles as well as sharing a bit about my postpartum experience. Tune in at 3:30ET/12:30 PT!

Today I sit down with Melissa Kearney, professor of Economics and author of Two Parent Privilege, to discuss the privileges attached to coming from households with two married parents. As the world blames a myriad of issues as the cause of the mess of our culture, Melissa Kearney believes that the most foundational problem lies in the way our society values the stability of family life. We discuss the eye-opening statistics of the differences in outcomes between those who come from intact families and those who don’t, what our government should do to encourage stable marriages, how our communities should support those in tough economic circumstances, and more.

Today I sit down with John Lovell, founder of the Warrior Poets Society, to discuss what it means for men to fully live according to their purpose. We discuss what it means for men to be a “warrior poet,” what the “Red Pill” community gets right about society’s issues about men and how they miss the target with their solutions, the importance of faith in strengthening marriage that lasts, the challenge for feminists to find a good man, and much more.

Today I sit down with British journalist, Mary Harrington, to discuss her transition from leftist feminism to promoting an anti-progressive feminism. We discuss some of the history of feminism, how the cultural changes of Industrial Revolution became the catalyst for the first feminist movements, why a true feminist sees good marriages as part of the solution, how contraception is ultimately anti-feminist, and much more.

While many of the statistics about Gen Z imply that this generation is falling away from traditional values, Isabel Brown begs to differ. On today’s podcast, Isabel Brown, author and cultural commentator, and I discuss the truth about Gen Z. We discuss the religious and political trends of Gen Z, how Gen Z women’s sexuality is effected by social contagion, how Gen Z men are leaning more conservative than ever, how Gen Z influencers’ conversions are impacting millions, and how Social Media is a tool that can be used for good.

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 ultimately serve as Vicar of Opus Dei for the West.

Fr. Luke has a PhD in Moral Philosophy and served in two papal synods. He also is a former Vicar of Opus Dei for the West.

Don’t miss this inspiring conversation about vocation, leadership, and living out your faith in the modern world.

Today I sit down with Alexandre Havard, author and international speaker, to discuss the relationship between the four temperaments and virtue. We discuss what we can learn from the story of Jerome Lejeune, each temperament’s virtues and vices, why the temperaments are important to learn, the temperaments of different saints, how to use knowledge of your temperament to develop virtue, how your character represents who you are moreso than your temperament, and much more.

Are contraceptives the only answer to women’s health issues? Is IVF the only way to treat infertility? Today I welcome Dr. Lauren Rubal, MD, back to the show to unpack the holistic approach to women’s reproductive health. We discuss what it means to treat women holistically instead of using conventional bandaid treatments, some of the leading causes of women’s health issues, the problems with hormonal birth control, common holistic ways to treat acne, PCOS, endometriosis, and infertility, and much more.

Today I welcome back Erica Komisar, Psychoanalyst and Parent Coach, to pick up where we left off from our last conversation about the importance of being present to our children at their earliest stages. In today’s fascinating conversation we unpack more best practices for parents to support the development of their children in the most critical stages of adolescence. We also discuss the best way to pursue relationship with your teen, how to select the right school for your child, how to minimize your children’s trauma from divorce, and how to heal relationships with your parents as an adult. I also ask up some of your most burning questions for Erica from our last episode.

Today I sit down with my dear friend Emily Wilson, author, speaker, musician, and Youtuber, to discuss the lessons we’ve learned from our birth stories. The two of us have due dates a few weeks apart, both with our third child and our first girl. We discuss the difficulty and beauty of having a different body during pregnancy and after the birth of our children, spiritual lessons we’ve learned from giving birth, the role of men in birth, considerations for women who don’t have a healthy support system, and much more.

Today I welcome back Dr. Lauren Rubal, MD, Ob/Gyn, reproductive care physician, and former IVF doctor, to break down the practice of In Vitro Fertilization and why it is not the way we should treat infertility. We discuss the in-depth process of IVF, what harms IVF can bring to children as well as parents, the forgotten plight of the embryos who are not implanted, and the questionable developments of more reproductive technologies.

Today I sit down with my dear friend Allie Beth Stuckey, the host of the “Relatable” podcast, to discuss the balancing act of being a mom while producing a popular and growing show and being a leading voice in culture. We discuss our different experiences with birth, how different seasons in life call for different commitments, how kids make you a better person, and Allie’s new-found philosophy of involving her kids in her mission.

On today's Live I comment on Trump's latest statements about his stance that abortion is only a states issue, not a national issue. I'll also be talking about The Vatican's latest declaration "Dignitas Infinita" on Human Dignity, as well as taking your questions live.

On this special Easter Tuesday episode I sit down with Fr. Ambrose Christe, Norbertine Priest, to discuss the importance of not only Easter Sunday, but the 50-day Easter Season. We discuss why Easter is a more important holiday than Christmas, where Easter Bunnies and Easter Eggs come from, what Jesus did on Holy Saturday, the Eucharist, the Passover, Heaven and Hell, and much more.

As we enter into the Triduum on this Holy Thursday, we have our sights on Easter, to celebrate the Resurrection. In today’s fascinating episode, I sit down again with Fr. Robert Spitzer, S.J., physicist, Catholic priest, and President of the Magis Center to discuss some of the evidence and science of the Resurrection. We discuss 3 different ways to prove the resurrection of Jesus, including the Shroud of Turin, of which many believe to be the burial cloth of Jesus. Fr. Spitzer debunks many of the misconceptions of the Shroud of Turin including a break down of the 1988 carbon dating mishap. We discuss how the cloth’s image shows the wounds of Christ in great detail, and how the image on the cloth is a result of a powerful momentary flash of radiation.

Today I'll be discussing how a Washington Post journalist and TikTok are censoring critics of birth control, while promoting new birth control methods. Also, as we enter into Holy Week, I will be giving my thoughts on the true meaning of Christ being King.

Society often tells us that having a big family is financially unfeasible—but is that really true? Today on the podcast, I’m joined by Paul J. Kim, a renowned speaker, comedian, and ministry leader, who debunks this myth. We dive into the practical and spiritual aspects of family finances, emphasizing radical trust in God's providence, hard work, and an inflation-proof investment strategy. Paul also shares his powerful journey of faith—from a partying lifestyle to a deeper conversion —along with his love story, a romance that bridged the divide between Catholicism and Protestantism. Plus, we explore his family’s rich history, including his father’s unlikely conversion to Catholicism in Korea. With Paul’s signature joy and humor, this conversation is both inspiring and entertaining. Don’t miss it!

Today I talk with Eduardo Verastegui, Executive Producer of the film Cabrini. We talk about what inspired the creation of the film about an under-recognized saint, how the success of Sound of Freedom made this film possible, and how he and his team respond to the criticism of the film. Eduardo also makes a special announcement about an incredible new project he is working on that may end up being my all-time favorite film.

It has always been common sense to believe that boys and girls are different, yet modern “intellectuals” have been questioning these basic truths, blaming “social conditioning” for the cause of gender differences. Today I sit down with Dr. Leonard Sax, MD PhD, to debunk common myths about gender. We discuss how boys and girls have different brain development, how boys’ and girls’ play preferences compare to male and female chimpanzees, and how multi-generational communities form children with the development they need to mature well.

Modern movies with “strong female leads” often emphasize a character’s physical strength or appearance and their ability to discover themselves and take on the world. I got the chance to see Cabrini, which is about a celibate Catholic Religious sister serving the poorest of the poor Italian immigrants in New York — and being a true mother to the orphaned and lost. Today I give my take on how this film shines in revealing the apex of femininity through displaying the counter cultural and heroic work of St. Francis Xavier Cabrini. I share some of my thoughts on the production of the film, compare its themes juxtaposed to other recent films with strong female leads like Barbie, and take you through some of my favorite scenes from the film. I also share my thoughts on what I would have loved to have seen more in the film. **SPOILERS INCLUDED**

Today I'll be exposing Biden's lies from the State of the Union about abortion, debunking the Kate Cox case, and I'll be addressing the law that just passed in Alabama providing legal immunity to IVF clinics.

Today I sit down with two different movers and shakers who are doing big things in the fight for the protection of the dignity of human life. Arden Young, with Sound Investigations, went undercover to meet with leaders in Porn Hub to investigate their rumored malpractices. In these meetings, Arden recorded many of their leaders explicitly admitting to Pornhub’s disregard of safeguards against the exploitation of minors and other abuse. Peter Hernandez is running for CA Congressional District 18, running on a platform because he believes it is possible to save California, to promote life, build strong families, and strengthen the Latino community. I hope you find Peter and Arden’s stories encouraging and inspiring.

Fasting has become a popular fad for people employing a new diet, but for religious people, fasting takes on a depth of spiritual meaning. Today I sit down with Fr. Peter Adrian, Norbertine priest and chef, to discuss why Christians fast during Lent, the ancient Christian traditions of fasting, the physical and spiritual benefits of fasting, the importance of prudence, and why Christians ought to fast intentionally.

Many believe IVF is a good option for parents struggling with fertility. Though medical advances have made conception through IVF possible, and though we celebrate every new human life that enters the world, there are many moral and human rights issues wrapped up in IVF that make the practice of IVF wrong. Today I make a case for why IVF is wrong, I give my thoughts on the Alabama Supreme Court Decision regarding IVF, and more.

When Jennifer Hubbard, a successful business woman turned stay at home mom, got a call from Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14th, 2012, her life would never be the same. Her second child, 6-year-old Catherine, would be one of the 26 victims of the tragic school shooting that took place in Newtown, Connecticut that day. Today I sit down with Jennifer to hear how she found peace through the horrific tragedy. We discuss some of the details of the day, why she believes suffering is sacred, how her faith guided her path forward, and how Catherine’s memory lives on through an animal sanctuary.

On today's LIVE, we discuss the tragic news about YouTube sensation and mother of two young babies, Bobbi Althoff who recently announced she and her husband are divorcing, Brad Wilcox's new book on marriage and how elites preach divorce and modern family yet actually live conservatively, + Red Pill challenges me to a debate! I also take your questions!

What is a “Trad Con”? What is the root of Red Pill ideology? Should fiancés sign a prenup? Today I sit down with my good friend Zuby, rap artist, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker, to discuss some similarities and differences between traditional conservatives and those who associate themselves with the Red Pill. We also follow up on our Twitter exchange about if it is right to sign a prenuptial agreement with a future spouse.

She survived the Rwandan Genocide. For three agonizing months, Immaculée Ilibagiza hid in a tiny bathroom with seven other women, knowing that at any moment, they could be discovered and killed.

When she finally emerged, she was met with unimaginable loss—her family and friends had all been brutally murdered. But in the face of such horror, Immaculée's faith remained unshaken. She found hope, clung to grace, and powerfully forgave those who took everything from her. Her story is both heartbreaking and inspiring, and I’m deeply honored to have this conversation with her. I hope it moves you as much as it did me.

Husband and wife Ben and Corley Spell are the founders of one of the fastest growing meat companies in the US. Today I sit down with them to hear their story of receiving an unlikely call from God to transition from serving thousands in church ministry to serving meat to thousands. We discuss what stirred their passion for quality meat, what misconceptions need corrected about American family ranchers, and how to get started as an entrepreneur.

How do I know what God wants for my life? Which decision is the right one? Is it okay to choose what I desire? Is all peace good peace? Today I chat with Dan Burke, President of the Avila Institute for Spiritual Formation, to discuss how to hear God’s voice in your life. Dan shares his story of getting through an abusive upbringing to being introduced to God by a co-worker, ultimately leading to his discovery of God and God transforming his life. We also discuss how to discern among multiple good options, how to talk to loved ones living in perpetual sin, and the role of desire in discernment. Dan also analyzes some of my own personal discernment experiences.

Have you struggled to have conversations with people in your life about abortion? In the post-Roe world, there is no better time to infuse the culture with the truth about the travesty of abortion and the truth about what it means to be Pro-Life. Now more than ever we should equip ourselves to engage with people in our lives about the dignity of human life. Today I talk with Stephanie Gray Conners, pro-life activist and author, about her new book My Body for You, A Pro-Life Message for a Post-Roe World. We discuss real challenges of motherhood, how the role of motherhood images the love of God, as well as how to answer some of the toughest pro-choice questions.

Is sexual freedom good? What does Christianity teach about sexual pleasure? What about contraception? Today we discuss all things sex. Many people believe that Christianity is antithetical to sexual freedom and pleasure. This was the perspective that Dr. Christopher West, Th.D., had before he discovered a teaching pronounced by a Catholic Pope. Today I sit down with Christopher West, the President of the Theology of the Body Institute, to discuss the beauty of God’s plan for human sexuality. We discuss the philosophical background behind Christianity’s teaching on sex, the role of pleasure in sex, if there is ever a good time for contraception, celibacy for the Kingdom and much more.

Is it possible to heal narcissism? Is there hope for our narcissistic friends and family to change? Today I sit down with clinical physiologist, Dr. Peter Malinoski, to unravel some of the misconceptions about narcissism. We discuss the intricacies of narcissistic heart and behavior, the emptiness of the heart that every narcissist is trying to fill, and how being rooted in the truth of their identity can be a healing balm to their deepest wounds.

Everyone who says “I do” hopes to have a perfect marriage. But what do you do when the honeymoon phase ends, and your feelings about your spouse change? What if you feel less intimate, distant, and unloved by your spouse? What if you aren’t attracted to your spouse anymore, or what if you get a crush on a co-worker? What if you start to ask the question, “Did I marry the wrong person?” Is divorce inevitable? Today I sit down with mental health expert, Dr. John Delony of the Dr. John Delony Show, to discuss how to get through some of the toughest relationship issues with your spouse, as well as how to build a relationship and a romance that stands the test of time.

In today’s heartbreaking interview I sit down with Dean Gregory, the father of Indi Gregory, to hear the detailed account of how he and his partner Claire fought against the UK’s National Healthcare System to try to save their baby’s life. Dean describes how the NHS repeatedly denied care to their daughter, even after receiving expert advice, and practically held Indi hostage when the Italian Government offered to take care of her with all expenses paid for.

In this episode, you’ll discover the power of discipline, prioritizing prayer and family time, and showing respect to your spouse in a way that builds trust and faithfulness. We can’t wait for you to hear their incredible wisdom!

Were Adam and Eve real people? Was there a global flood? What about evolution? What’s the deal with Galileo? Is there scientific evidence to support the Incarnation of Jesus Christ? Today in this fascinating episode, I sit down with Fr. Robert Spitzer S.J., PH.D. to explore these questions and to unravel the common misconceptions that faith and science are opposed to each other and that the Catholic Church is anti-science. Fr. Spitzer also shares what he thinks are the 4 strongest evidences to prove God is real, and breaks down how can you understand the Trinity.

In today's episode from Youtube Livestream, I talk about the new document coming out of the Vatican about blessing same-sex attracted couples, my take on the Kate Cox's contention with Texas, the NBA basketball player Anthony Edwards' coercive tactics to end the life of his baby, and more.

How much work is too much work for a mother of young children? Who should be the trusted caregiver for a child whose mother has to work? What should single mothers do? Today I sit down with Erica Komisar, psychoanalyst and parent coach, to discuss the importance of mothers “Being There” for their young children, as her groundbreaking book suggests. We discuss what is the ideal balance between work life and motherhood, especially with children under 4-years-old, when the child is at their most vulnerable and dependent stage of life. We also discuss the research behind outcomes for kids in daycare, aloparenting, practical advice for single moms, what type of schooling is ideal for children, and much more.
