The Lila Rose Show

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.

John Lovell, founder of Warrior Poets Society, discusses masculinity, faith in marriage, red pill community insights, feminist challenges, and more on the podcast. Topics include balancing cultural perceptions of masculinity, ethical meat choices, prenuptial agreements, sanctity of marriage, God's love, skincare, societal shifts in gender identities, moral and theological diversity in Christianity, and traditional gender roles in partnerships.

Mary Harrington, a British journalist, shares her fascinating journey from leftist feminism to anti-progressive feminism. She delves into the historical roots of feminism and its evolution since the Industrial Revolution. The conversation explores how true feminist ideals encompass valuing marriage and motherhood, while critiquing the impact of contraception. Harrington highlights the moral dilemmas women face today, emphasizing the need for a nuanced discussion about gender roles and the essence of feminism in modern society.

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.

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?

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.
