E230: Submission That Liberates: The Obedience Paradox Explained w/Mary Stanford | Lila Rose Show
“Obedience” in marriage is a loaded word—what does it really mean? Are women expected to submit like servants? Is Christian marriage inherently unequal? Or is there something deeper, more beautiful, and profoundly mutual at play?Today I’m joined by Mary Stanford, who has spent her career unpacking this very paradox. How can a woman “submit” as described in Ephesians 5 and still be a full, free, and equal partner in marriage?Mary dives into the God-given differences between men and women—how our bodies and dispositions reflect distinct, complementary gifts—and how this complementarity can lead to deep unity and even fruitfulness, both literally and spiritually.This topic isn’t without controversy. The line between holy submission and enabling harmful dynamics is razor thin. Join the conversation in the comments and help us wrestle with one of the most misunderstood teachings in Scripture.Obedience Paradox book: https://www.amazon.com/Obedience-Paradox-Finding-Freedom-Marriage/dp/1681926954Mary's faculty website: https://www.christendom.edu/academics/undergraduate-faculty/mary-stanford/NEW: Join our exclusive Rose Report community! https://lilaroseshow.supercast.com - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, monthly AMA, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world’s leading Catholic network!

E229: Can Therapy Change Who You’re Attracted To? w/Dr Nicolosi Jr | Lila Rose Show
Can sexual attraction shift? Can we rewire how past trauma affects us?Dr. Joseph Nicolosi Jr. explores these questions through Reintegrative Therapy—a trauma-focused, evidence-based approach designed for those experiencing unwanted sexual attractions. Critics label it "conversion therapy," but Nicolosi argues it’s something entirely different.In this episode, he explains how resolving deep-rooted trauma can sometimes lead to changes in sexual attractions and why this method is so controversial in today’s world. As the son of a pioneering psychologist, Dr. Nicolosi brings decades of clinical insight to a conversation that challenges post-modern cultural taboos and common assumptions.Dr Nicolosi's website: https://www.reintegrativetherapy.com/NEW: Join our exclusive Rose Report community! https://lilaroseshow.supercast.com - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, monthly AMA, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world’s leading Catholic network!

E228: The ‘No Contact’ Epidemic That Is Tearing Families Apart w/Noelle Mering | Lila Rose Show
A disturbing trend is sweeping Gen Z—and it’s making headlines in The New Yorker, The Guardian, Time Magazine, and NPR. It’s called No Contact: young people aren’t just disagreeing with their parents—they’re cutting them off entirely.In an age where ideological conformity is demanded, even a hint of dissent can be grounds for exile. Radical acceptance is the new litmus test—and conservative parents are failing by default. Instead of sticking with the families who raised them, many are replacing them with “chosen family” that affirms every belief and lifestyle.Author Noelle Mering is sounding the alarm in her upcoming book, exposing how authoritarian ideas are driving a wedge through families—and how parents can fight back with truth, boundaries and love.Theology of Home website: https://theologyofhome.com/Noelle's website: https://www.noellemering.com/NEW: Join our exclusive Rose Report community! https://lilaroseshow.supercast.com - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, monthly AMA, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world’s leading Catholic network!

E227: From Rainbow Pride to Radical Faith: One Man's Unexpected Story w/Becket Cook | Lila Rose Show
Becket Cook was living what many would call a dream life—working in Hollywood, dating men, and surrounded by celebrities. But beneath the surface, he felt an ache that nothing in that world could satisfy. One day at a café, he noticed a group of young people doing a Bible study and struck up a conversation. That led to an invitation to church—and during that very first visit, the Holy Spirit met him powerfully. In this episode, Becket shares his journey from acting on same-sex attraction to finding true identity, purpose, and peace in Christ. His journey will challenge you, inspire you, and point you back to the One who satisfies.Becket's channel: https://youtube.com/@becketcook NEW: Join our exclusive Rose Report community! https://lilaroseshow.supercast.com - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, monthly AMA, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world’s leading Catholic network!
