How can young Christians navigate the world today? What does following God's will look like in 2025? And how can individuals break free from sexual addictions?

After years of wrestling with pornography, self-harm, and mental health challenges, she found her way back to God and the Church.

Exorcism interviews have recently exploded in popularity, racking up millions of views on YouTube and social media. But is this focus on demons and their influence on humans a healthy exploration—or could it be playing into Satan's plans, granting him undue attention and power while paralyzing us with fear and superstition?Today, I'm joined by Dr. Sean Tobin, a psychologist trusted by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to evaluate whether individuals should be referred to an exorcist. With years of experience working with those facing demonic oppression and possession, Dr. Tobin shares fresh perspectives on what God might be accomplishing in these situations and offers little-known approaches for dealing with stubborn cases.He also addresses a troubling trend: fear and powerlessness among Christians—something completely contrary to God’s design. Dr. Tobin reminds us of the need to reject both fear and demonic forces, reclaiming the Spirit of power, love, and self-control that God has given us (2 Timothy 1:7). His insights are sure to inspire and empower you in the spiritual battles we face.Check Out Sean's Work:-His book: https://biggodlittledevil.com/-His website: https://www.drseantobin.ca/Join our Locals community: https://lilarose.locals.com/Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LilaRose865A big thank to our partner, EWTN, the world’s leading Catholic network!

Join me for a conversation with my longtime friend and former investigative journalism colleague, David Daleiden. David is the mastermind behind the campaign that exposed Planned Parenthood’s illegal trafficking of baby body parts. Posing as a biotech vendor, he captured explosive undercover footage of key figures at Planned Parenthood discussing partial-birth abortions and other practices designed to harvest intact tissue for research institutions willing to pay a premium. In our discussion, David opens up about his ongoing legal battles and we explore the best strategies for advancing the pro-life movement, especially in light of recent election results and new appointees. This conversation is essential for anyone who cares about the future of civil rights in our country—both for the unborn and those who boldly defend them.Check out David's website: https://www.centerformedicalprogress.org/Join our Locals community: https://lilarose.locals.com/  Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LilaRose865   A big thank to our partner, EWTN, the world’s leading Catholic network!
