The Lila Rose Podcast

Join me for an inspiring conversation with author and theologian Dr. Scott Hahn as he shares his remarkable journey from a rebellious teenager to a devoted follower of Jesus. Dr. Hahn recounts his transformative discovery of the Catholic Church through scripture and the writings of the Church Fathers—an experience that challenged his biases, strained friendships, and even tested his marriage. At the heart of this discussion is a profound exploration of the Eucharist, the central focus of the Mass, and its rich foreshadowing in biblical references to the sacrifice of the lamb. Don’t miss this engaging episode that will deepen your scripture study and reveal the powerful story behind one of today’s most influential Catholic thinkers.Check Out Ignatius Study Bible: https://stpaulcenter.com/bible/?srsltid=AfmBOoreMprX3hcpxq_ULqkRNi45NU2UxiNu7wW0Tmu12byit6sMebOE Join our Locals community: https://lilarose.locals.com/Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LilaRose865 A big thank to our partner, EWTN, the world’s leading Catholic network!

What advice does Thomas Aquinas have for the modern person, especially the modern parent? Have you ever felt that something might be missing in modern parenting trends, like gentle parenting? In today’s episode, Father Gregory Pine introduces us to an ancient practice that has shaped children for centuries: virtue ethics. First explored by classical philosophers like Aristotle and later popularized in the Middle Ages by St. Thomas Aquinas, virtue ethics remains central to the Church’s teachings on character formation. Father Pine, drawing from his deep knowledge of St. Thomas Aquinas, offers practical guidance for parents seeking to cultivate virtues like justice, prudence, temperance, and fortitude in their children. Raising children to be happy and holy adults can feel daunting, but this episode is essential for empowering parents to nurture future saints. Additionally, Father Pine shares his personal journey—how he discovered his vocation and developed a passion for St. Thomas Aquinas’ teachings. I hope this conversation inspires and equips you to approach parenting with a renewed perspective and practical tools.Check Out Fr Gregory's work:Aquinas 101: https://aquinas101.com/Godsplaining Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@Godsplaining Join our Locals community: https://lilarose.locals.com/Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LilaRose865A big thank to our partner, EWTN, the world’s leading Catholic network!

How can young Christians navigate the world today? What does following God's will look like in 2025? And how can individuals break free from sexual addictions? In today’s conversation, I sit down with Amber, also known as The Religious Hippie on YouTube. Amber's journey began in the Catholic faith, but after struggling with resentment toward the church, she drifted away. After years of wrestling with pornography, self-harm, and mental health challenges, she found her way back to God and the Church. Join us as we discuss evangelizing Gen Z and striving to become saints in the modern world. I hope you enjoy this insightful conversation.Check Out Amber's work:YouTube:  @TheReligiousHippie  Website: https://thereligioushippie.com -Join our Locals community: https://lilarose.locals.com/-Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LilaRose865-A big thank to our partner, EWTN, the world’s leading Catholic network!
