How Early Christianity Outlasted a Hostile Roman Empire w/Voice of Reason | Lila Rose Show (BONUS)
What was Rome really like at the time of Christ? It was a culture of death—where women were silenced, babies were discarded, and power ruled without mercy. Then came Christianity, flipping the empire upside down. Through brutal martyrdom, early Christians introduced a moral revolution that shattered pagan values and sparked the very idea of human dignity. They didn’t just preach love—they freed slaves and redefined civilization. The wild part? The Roman world looks a lot like ours today. This episode will fire you up with the bold, countercultural spirit of early Christianity—and show you how to fight back against the modern cult of dehumanization.Check out Part 1 of Series: https://youtu.be/HRhusNq7LtkNEW: 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!

E209: I Transitioned 40 Years Ago - Now I Regret Everything w/Walt Heyer | Lila Rose Show
It started with a purple dress and words of affirmation from his grandmother. What followed was a spiral of confusion, rejection, and pain that nearly destroyed Walt Heyer’s life. Transgender surgery. A suicide attempt. And then—something no one saw coming. Walt’s story is heartbreaking, raw, and ultimately redemptive. It will shake you—and remind you that no one is beyond the reach of God’s healing love.Check out/help support Walt's documentary: https://themoviewhoami.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!

E208: Tradition, Scripture, and Church Unity w/Keith Nester | Lila Rose Show
My guest today is Keith Nester, a former pastor who spent over 20 years in ministry—until one verse changed everything. When he heard Jesus say in Matthew 26:26, “This is my body,” he knew it wasn’t symbolic. Embracing that truth meant losing his ministry, his income, and nearly his marriage.He resisted at first, but as liberalism overtook his denomination, he realized only Church tradition could stand firm. Today, Keith helps others find their way home. His mission: unite Christians in truth and reignite a deep love for scripture and Christ’s teachings. He’s living proof that following truth is worth everything.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!
