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.Zephyr Institue: https://www.zephyr.org/Juan's Angel Diver site: https://angelsrecoverydiveteam.org/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!

That led to an invitation to church—and during that very first visit, the Holy Spirit met him powerfully.

Naomi Best enrolled in Santa Clara University's Counseling Psychology MA to help people. But when she began the required Human Sexuality course, she was stunned: graphic BDSM videos, public discussions of intimate sexual history, and an 8-page paper detailing her own experiences—including masturbation.Naomi refused to complete the coursework on moral and religious grounds. Despite requesting a religious exemption—granted to Muslim women—the university denied her appeal.In this episode, we uncover the radical ideology behind this curriculum and how critical theory is being used to hijack psychology—reshaping therapy into a tool for social reengineering and tearing down the moral foundations of society.This isn't education—it's ideological coercion that borders on sexual harassment.

In this episode of The Covenant Eyes Podcast, hosts Karen Potter and Rob Stoddard sit down with Pastor Mike Novotny, lead speaker for Time of Grace and author of Taboo: Topics Christians Should Be Talking About, But Don't.Pastor Mike shares his personal journey with pornography, the vital role of confession, and how shame and silence often prevent healing. He discusses how churches can break the cycle by speaking openly and biblically about tough topics—from pornography and sexual intimacy in marriage to race, politics, abuse, and mental health.

TAKEAWAYSAn example of destructive behavior is allowing damaging thoughts to sit and fester in your mindSometimes, when we talk about our problems too much, Satan is there to play on those fearsSome people are afraid of failure, and hence they are afraid to take risksThe Bible teaches us that it is good to think positively and to focus our thoughts on positive and uplifting things

In this inspiring episode of the Covenant Eyes podcast, host Karen Potter interviews Dr. Mark Denison, co-founder of There's Still Hope, about his groundbreaking new book Advanced Recovery. As a pastor, author, and long-term recovery leader, Dr. Denison shares how men and women can move beyond short-term sobriety to build lasting, Christ-centered freedom from porn and sexual addiction.

Dinosaurs, owls… and condoms? Yep, those are just a few of the topics sitting side by side on the shelves at your local library. Today I'm joined by “Kitchen Table Activist” Karen England to expose the graphic, sexually explicit content being snuck into school and public libraries—often disguised as kid-friendly cartoons.These books aren't approved by parents, but by unelected librarians pushing content that goes far beyond what's appropriate for children. Watch this episode, get informed, and share it. We need parents nationwide to stand up and protect our kids' innocence.

In PBSE Episode 280, Mark & Steve address the complex challenge faced by betrayed partners—especially those healing from porn or sex addiction in their relationships—who want to guide their teenage children toward healthy sexuality. It begins by acknowledging the emotional burden and conflict many betrayed partners feel, especially when trying to teach their children something they themselves are still struggling to reclaim. Drawing from a listener's heartfelt question, the hosts emphasize that children are already receiving sexual messaging from the world around them, making it crucial that parents step up to provide a healthy, grounded counter-narrative rooted in respect, consent, and emotional connection.The article challenges the outdated concept of “the talk” by promoting a new paradigm: sexuality should be an ongoing, evolving, and age-appropriate conversation that unfolds over years, not moments. Parents are encouraged to reflect on their own stories, recognize internal shame or awkwardness, and ensure that their emotional energy during these talks doesn't unintentionally pass discomfort or judgment onto their children. The authors stress that kids are emotional sponges, and how parents talk about sex—more than just what they say—deeply influences how their children feel about their own bodies, desires, and relationships. This is why intentionality and preparation matter more than perfection.Practical tools and resources are also discussed, such as those from Fight the New Drug, Defend Young Minds, and Covenant Eyes. The article affirms that even when a co-parent is absent or unsafe to engage in these conversations, there are still ways to ensure kids have positive, trustworthy influences. By speaking truthfully, embracing healthy sexual values, and modeling openness, betrayed partners can break generational cycles of secrecy, shame, and dysfunction. Each conversation—no matter how imperfect—is a step toward a legacy of empowerment, honesty, and loving connection.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:  As a Betrayed Partner, How do I Talk to my Teenage Kids About Healthy Sexuality?Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

What's it like to be an Orthodox Christian in Syria? Father Josiah Trenham shares powerful stories of faith under fire. Over 12 years ago, Sunni jihadists kidnapped the Archbishop. Today's Archbishop faces no less danger. When the leader of ISIS passed through Aleppo, he sent a chilling message: "I'll have your head." The Archbishop's bold reply? "Come and take it—I'm not leaving my people."The courage of Syrian Christians under persecution is both inspiring and convicting—a sharp contrast to the religious freedom we often take for granted. Join Father Josiah and me as we explore religious freedom worldwide, the history of the Orthodox Church, the power of martyrs, and more.Fr Josiah's YouTube channel: ⁨@PatristicNectarFilms⁩ 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!
