E228: How ‘TikTok Psychologists’ Are Tearing Families Apart | Lila Rose Show
A disturbing trend is sweeping Gen Z—and it’s making headlines in The New Yorker, The Guardian, Time Magazine, and NPR. It’s called No Contact: young people aren’t just disagreeing with their parents—they’re cutting them off entirely.In an age where ideological conformity is demanded, even a hint of dissent can be grounds for exile. Radical acceptance is the new litmus test—and conservative parents are failing by default. Instead of sticking with the families who raised them, many are replacing them with “chosen family” that affirms every belief and lifestyle.Author Noelle Mering is sounding the alarm in her upcoming book, exposing how authoritarian ideas are driving a wedge through families—and how parents can fight back with truth, boundaries and love.Theology of Home website: https://theologyofhome.com/Noelle's website: https://www.noellemering.com/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!

E227: From Rainbow Pride to Radical Faith: One Man's Unexpected Story w/Becket Cook | Lila Rose Show
Becket Cook was living what many would call a dream life—working in Hollywood, dating men, and surrounded by celebrities. But beneath the surface, he felt an ache that nothing in that world could satisfy. One day at a café, he noticed a group of young people doing a Bible study and struck up a conversation. That led to an invitation to church—and during that very first visit, the Holy Spirit met him powerfully. In this episode, Becket shares his journey from acting on same-sex attraction to finding true identity, purpose, and peace in Christ. His journey will challenge you, inspire you, and point you back to the One who satisfies.Becket's channel: https://youtube.com/@becketcook 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!
