One night, Sarah Gabel Seifert fell asleep and had a dream that would change the course of her life. She found herself in a factory in a war-torn land, stumbling into a room filled with empty cribs and women on operating tables. When she awoke, she knew: God was calling her to a mission. Years later, that mission took an unexpected form when He placed on her heart the idea to found a pro-life diaper company. Today, Sarah and her husband are pioneers in a new marketplace where consumers intentionally choose products from companies that uphold, rather than oppose, their values.
In this episode, you’ll hear Sarah’s powerful story of radical surrender, how to recognize the mission God is crafting uniquely for you, and how motherhood has deepened her inspiration and fueled her ability to pursue her entrepreneurial dreams.

Martin Sedra grew up in Egypt as the son of a Christian pastor, where preaching had to be hidden and converting from Islam could mean death. He saw God’s protection firsthand when his brothers narrowly escaped terrorists enraged by his father’s ministry. Now, Martin and his wife Millicent travel the world warning that Islam’s core beliefs, though distinct from peaceful Muslims, are incompatible with Christianity and Western freedoms. In this powerful conversation, they reveal what is coming, how to stand firm in the face of growing anti-Christian hostility, and why an unapologetic pro-life stance is essential.

Why do some mothers struggle to bond with their babies and slip into depression? What can you do when the romance has faded and your significant other withdraws every time you try to express your needs or connect? And why does premarital sex often sabotage long-term love?
Surprisingly, these issues share the same root and the same solution. Enter Adam Lane Smith, former therapist, relationship coach, and pioneer in applying attachment theory to everyday relationships. His mission is to help one billion people become securely attached, starting with you.
Adam explains why so many people have trouble forming deep, lasting bonds. He breaks down the biochemical forces that drive connection, with oxytocin and vasopressin as the key players, and shows you how to work with them for stronger relationships. He also helps you develop compassion for those whose childhood wounds make intimacy difficult and gives practical steps to rekindle passion and trust.
Watch this episode for eye-opening insights that will take all your relationships to the next level.

From her balcony in Pakistan, Nikki Kingsley imagined ending it all. Trapped in an arranged marriage, confined to her home, and living in a culture where she could not leave the house without permission, she felt utterly hopeless. Something had to change.
After a daring escape to America, Nikki turned to Allah for comfort and spiritual strength. But her journey took an unexpected turn when she began receiving locutions from Jesus and Mary, messages that revealed the faith she had been raised in did not fully reflect the depth and reality of God’s love.
In this powerful testimony, you will hear the extraordinary story of a woman who risked everything to follow Christ. Her testimony offers both a powerful witness to the truth present in the Christian faith and a sobering look at the unseen challenges faced by many Muslim women around the world.

From postpartum recovery and sleepless nights to six weeks without intimacy, many of us step into marriage unprepared for the realities of motherhood. Add to that the emotional rollercoaster of discerning when to welcome another child only to face unexpected pregnancies--it's clear this journey isn’t always tidy.
In this episode, I sit down with Chrissy Horton, content creator and mother of six, for an honest, no-holds-barred conversation about life without contraception, the joy and chaos of raising a large family, and the adventure that unfolds when you surrender your fertility to God. Spoiler alert: the sex life? It gets better. We also unpack the cultural biases against big families: where they come from, why they persist, and why they’re flat-out wrong. It’s a road marked with sacrifice, but also with beauty, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

Dr. Bill Sears, Lila’s favorite pediatrician and the author of over 40 parenting books, joins us today to share his hard-earned wisdom on discipline. Parents often ask: How do I get my children to listen? What should I do when they’re fighting over a toy? Should I schedule my baby’s sleep and meals? Do I hug my child during a tantrum? How can I encourage my teen to tell the truth? New parents especially are full of questions, and Dr. Sears, a father of eight, has answers grounded in decades of experience. Through trial, error, and years of observation, he’s learned what truly works—and it all begins with connection and understanding. That’s the path to raising virtuous, emotionally healthy adults. Join us for a conversation full of practical insights and timeless parenting wisdom.

Franccesca Sevilla was building a glamorous life in music videos and social media when a growing desire for God took hold.
During a fast, she experienced His love in a way that changed everything. A second fast brought even deeper clarity—it felt like her world turned from black and white to color. She knew God was real.
She gave her life to Him, embraced modesty, committed to chastity, and launched a faith-based fitness ministry to help women honor their bodies. Franccesca’s story proves that life with God is anything but predictable.

Why do men and women so often miss each other completely despite the best of intentions? Misunderstandings between the sexes often lead to tension, hurt, and total communication breakdown.
Today’s guest, relationship expert Alison Armstrong, brings decades of research on male behavior to the table. She reveals how women unintentionally emasculate men by over-correcting, over-explaining, or interrupting. These habits push men out of their natural state of protect-and-provide into a posture of defense and retreat. Alison breaks down how to talk to men (hint: stop interpreting their reactions like they're female) and how just a few simple shifts can lead to dramatic transformation. By the end of this episode, you won’t just understand men better, you might even turn a few frogs into princes.

Gene McConnell, the son of a pastor, was a naturally charismatic young man—full of life and passionate about his faith. But an early experience of abuse introduced deep wounds that led him into a decades long struggle with sexual addiction.
Everything changed when a friend extended genuine love and acceptance, offering a glimpse of God’s grace and the unconditional embrace of the Father seen in the story of the Prodigal Son. That moment marked the beginning of a ten-year journey of healing and restoration.
Along the way, Gene came to understand a profound truth: when shame and unmet emotional needs go unaddressed, they can keep people from experiencing the love they were created for. But he also discovered that real transformation is possible.
Today, Gene shares his story to bring hope to others walking through similar battles. His message is simple and powerful: no one is too far gone—healing is possible.

When we hear the words of John 15:13, “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” most of us assume it’s a metaphor, not a literal call. But on June 18, that verse became a lived reality.
Three friends, Val Creus, Matt Schoenecker, and Matt Anthony lost their lives in an act of heroic brotherhood. When Val jumped into the swimming hole at Rattlesnake Falls and called for help, both Matts jumped in after him without hesitation. Today, we’re joined by their close friend and fellow Opus Dei member, Matt Bowman, who shares how these men were remarkable not just in their final sacrifice, but in the way they lived: humbly, joyfully, and always in service to others, drawing people closer to Christ. We also remember another quiet hero, diver Juan Heredia, who risked his own life to recover their bodies and bring some measure of peace to grieving families. Their story reminds us to live with purpose, to love without delay, and to lead others to the source of all love: Christ Himself.

“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.

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.

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.

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.

In today's episode my dear friend Stephanie Gray Connors—renowned pro-life apologist and global speaker—joins me to share the behind-the-scenes story of how she found love at 40 (yes, I played matchmaker!).
Stephanie gets real about the heartache of waiting, the tension between her calling and her longing for marriage, and the unexpected ways God showed up—through deep friendship, purpose-driven work, and eventually, a saintly husband.
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late for your dreams, this conversation will remind you: God’s timing is perfect.

When Jesus introduced the new blueprint for marriage—no divorce, total monogamy—it stunned the Apostles. His vision was bold, uncompromising, and utterly countercultural. But with the power of the Holy Spirit, it’s not only possible—it’s transformational.
Enter Father Josiah Trenham: Orthodox pastor, husband of 37 years, and father of ten. In this episode, he unpacks the divine design for marriage—why it’s essential for civilization and for sanctifying your soul. You’ll walk away challenged, inspired, and ready to see marriage as a holy mission with eternal impact.
