Feminist vs Fairytales: The Battle Over Snow White (w/Jonathan Pageau )

Disney?s live-action Snow White ditches the classic love story we all know and love in favor of a modern ?woman warrior? narrative. But does it work?or is it just another Hollywood blunder?

We dive deep into the power of fairy tales, how they shape culture, prepare us for life?s battles, and why modern rewrites keep missing the mark. Can these timeless stories be saved?

Jac Marino Chen shares her gripping journey from the depths of ritual magic and the occult to finding redemption in Jesus Christ.

But even at the deepest point of spiritual darkness, Jesus met her and rescued her from that world. In this raw and powerful testimony, Jac reveals how God pursued her through the lies and deception?and brought her into the true freedom that can only be found in Him.

E198: Should Wives Submit to Their Husbands? w/Erika Bachiochi

TThe distorted version of masculinity is hedonistic and domineering, seeking control over his wife and restricting her freedom. The toxic version of femininity is self-absorbed and detached from reason, flaunting her sexuality online and encouraging her children toward gender confusion. In response to these extremes, society has overcorrected?suppressing true masculinity and femininity instead of restoring their rightful place.

Today, my guest and I delve into the beauty of men and women as they were originally designed, celebrating their distinct gifts and the way they harmonize within the family through a healthy model of headship. Erika Bachiochi, a pro-life legal scholar, expert in Christian social teaching and sexual ethics, and author of the groundbreaking Wall Street Journal article "John Paul II, the Feminist Pope," joins me to discuss these crucial issues. She also shares her incredible personal journey?from a broken, liberal alcoholic to a joyful, traditional mother of seven. Don't miss this compelling conversation on reclaiming authentic gender roles in our culture.

E197: Unveiling the Andrew Tate Saga: The Untold Perspective of the Victims

Andrew Tate?s recent move to the United States from Romania has reignited intense debate, as he faces serious allegations of criminal trafficking. In this episode, we sit down with Dani Pinter, an attorney from the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, who represents Jane Doe?one of the alleged victims at the center of this controversial case. Dani will debunk myths surrounding Doe and other accusers, expose Tate?s aggressive counter-lawsuits aimed at silencing his critics, and unpack the puzzling trend of unwavering support from some conservative circles despite the gravity of the charges. This revealing discussion peels back layers of the Andrew Tate story that mainstream narratives often overlook.

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.
