The Lila Rose Show

Leah Sargeant was a proud atheistic feminist who experienced a deep conversion to Christ. But she couldn't fully ditch the term "feminism," and in today's episode she explains why. She also shares her struggles with fertility and policy solutions for stronger families, and we discuss whether gender roles are helpful.

Sabatina James was raised in rural Pakistan as a devout Muslim, reading and studying the Quran. However, she quickly saw the devastating consequences of taking it seriously, which landed her in a Muslim prison and an arranged marriage. Everything changed one day when she cried out to God to reveal Himself. Now, she’s fighting to warn the West about the realities of Muhammad, and the necessity of Jesus.

Andrew grew up in the shadow of his older brothers and disconnected from his father. Paired with early pornography exposure, he developed an incomplete and insecure understanding of his masculinity, which manifested in same-sex attractions. However, several key events, including some important risks, helped him better understand his God-given masculinity and sexuality -- to the point where he's now happily married with children and helping others with their sexual brokenness.
