E196: “I Loved My Pimp”: The Transformation of an Ex Porn Star
Brittni De La Mora was one of the most successful women in the porn industry—until one Bible verse stopped her in her tracks. Trapped in a cycle of addiction, prostitution, and emotional emptiness, she was searching for love and acceptance in all the wrong places. But when she encountered Jesus, everything changed.Convicted by Scripture, she walked away from fame and fortune to follow God, leaving behind the only life she knew. Now a wife, mother, and ministry leader, Brittni is exposing the dark realities of the porn industry and helping others find true freedom in Christ.Her raw and powerful testimony will leave you speechless.

E194: The Truth About Housewives: Myth vs. Reality
The trad-wife trend tells us that a happy, well-run family relies on dad working outside the home while mom stays home with the kids and does all the housework. But is that actually how things have always been? Spoiler alert: Not really! Proverbs 31 shows that economic contribution has always been a part of a wife’s role—she wasn’t just sweeping the floor and baking bread.Fast forward to today, and many families can’t survive on just one income. So, what’s a modern mom to do? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! I’ll share tips on how moms can be fully present for their kiddos while also contributing financially. Believe it or not, there are careers out there that actually work for moms with toddlers hanging off their legs.The debate over whether it’s better to work or stay home has never been shaken up quite like this! Join us for a lively, honest discussion.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world’s leading Catholic network!

E193: Is Trump’s Immigration Crackdown Un-Christian? w/Fr Ambrose
With President Trump’s latest executive order cracking down on illegal immigration, many Christians are asking: What would Jesus do? Where do we draw the line between compassion and protecting our nation and families?Today, I sit down with Fr. Ambrose Criste, a Norbertine priest and theologian, to break down the Catholic perspective on this heated issue. We explore the U.S. Bishops’ response, Pope Francis’ stance, and J.D. Vance’s strong critique of the Bishops.This is a conversation you don’t want to miss—because the answer isn’t as black and white as some would have you believe.
