But her journey took an unexpected turn when she began receiving locutions from Jesus and Mary, messages that revealed the faith she had been raised in did not fully reflect the depth and reality of God's love.In this powerful testimony, you will hear the extraordinary story of a woman who risked everything to follow Christ. Her testimony offers both a powerful witness to the truth present in the Christian faith and a sobering look at the unseen challenges faced by many Muslim women around the world.Nikki's book: https://www.amazon.com/Thirst-Truth-Mohammad-Nikki-Kingsley-ebook/dp/B09KZB89KB/ref=sr_1_1?crid=29ZPPGEATAQ0K&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.QWGrWhGVCJrmExndV3oKiTPoqoXP8cIMCr0WXRZUxBV4He_pHmgHHBDJyLsLWPfVRmxNQXQ_dZ3H8hppnC-iztmyWkpLrDWU2HmKNkX0bJ8.SgHO2EGEtG7fvc4ZtulFZll1vnEYHrTO3MGNiizIMfA&dib_tag=se&keywords=nikki+kingsley&qid=1754961277&sprefix=nikki+kingsl%2Caps%2C366&sr=8-1NEW: 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!

From postpartum recovery and sleepless nights to six weeks without intimacy, many of us step into marriage unprepared for the realities of motherhood. Add to that the emotional rollercoaster of discerning when to welcome another child only to face unexpected pregnancies--it's clear this journey isn't always tidy. In this episode, I sit down with Chrissy Horton, content creator and mother of six, for an honest, no-holds-barred conversation about life without contraception, the joy and chaos of raising a large family, and the adventure that unfolds when you surrender your fertility to God. Spoiler alert: the sex life? It gets better. We also unpack the cultural biases against big families: where they come from, why they persist, and why they're flat-out wrong. It's a road marked with sacrifice, but also with beauty, laughter, and unforgettable moments.Chrissy's channel: https://www.youtube.com/@chrissyhortonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hortonlane_/?hl=enNEW: 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!

Dr. Bill Sears, Lila's favorite pediatrician and the author of over 40 parenting books, joins us today to share his hard-earned wisdom on discipline. Parents often ask: How do I get my children to listen? What should I do when they're fighting over a toy? Should I schedule my baby's sleep and meals? Do I hug my child during a tantrum? How can I encourage my teen to tell the truth? New parents especially are full of questions, and Dr. Sears, a father of eight, has answers grounded in decades of experience. Through trial, error, and years of observation, he's learned what truly works—and it all begins with connection and understanding. That's the path to raising virtuous, emotionally healthy adults. Join us for a conversation full of practical insights and timeless parenting wisdom.Free eBook: https://AskDrSears.com/giftNEW: 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!
