  • The Price of Life: Exploring the Human Cost of Surrogacy

    What’s the problem with surrogacy? How is it different from adoption? Does the surrogacy industry exploit vulnerable women?

    On this episode, Fr. Shenan Boquet unpacks the problems with surrogacy. He also shares his experience in the mission field, where both surrogacy and in vitro fertilization (IVF) are common problems.

    Often, people assume that these practices serve the family. In reality, surrogacy and IVF abuse the rights of the child, couple, and surrogate mom. It’s important that medical professionals, priests, and the laity understand these bioethical issues.

  • Abortion Survivors Left to Die: What Jill Stanek Saw

    Infanticide and abortion go hand-in-hand. Afterall, the only difference is the baby’s location. Both acts kill an innocent child.

    When Jill Stanek was working as a nurse in 1999, she discovered that her hospital was performing abortions. Many preborn babies would be delivered early and then left to die in the hospital’s utility room. Often, these children were aborted because of fetal abnormalities.

    One night, Jill Stanek held a baby with Down syndrome, who’d survived an abortion attempt. He finally died in her arms. This experience changed Jill’s life and set her on a mission to end abortion.

    On today’s episode, Jill Stanek shares her story for a new generation. If he had lived, the baby she held would be 25 years old now! Find out how this experience changed Jill’s life.

    In the past 60 years, annulment rates have skyrocketed in the U.S. Meanwhile, marriage rates are down. What’s up with that? Is the marriage annulment process breaking down our understanding of the sanctity of marriage?

    What are stem cells? What’s the difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells? Which type of research is more effective?

    To get embryonic stem cells, scientists must kill a days-old human. But adult stem cells can be ethically sourced from umbilical cords, bone marrow, and other cells from a human body.

    Not a single person has ever been cured because of embryonic stem cells. Meanwhile, adult stem cell research has helped hundreds of patients with conditions including cancer, MS, and strokes.

    On today’s podcast episode, Dr. David Prentice of the Charlotte Lozier Institute joins us to unpack the science behind stem cell research. Find out how adult stem cells can cure, while embryonic stem cells only kill.

    The media focuses on embryonic stem cells. It’s critical that pro-lifers know why adult stem cell research is better!

    What type of men do women want? How does birth control affect the science of relationships? Can the pill make you choose the wrong man?

    Hormonal birth control negatively affects a woman’s mental and physical health. And it also alters chemical attraction between men and women.

    Because birth control disrupts a woman’s hormonal cycle, it changes who she’s attracted to—chemically. This can cause severe relationship issues down the road. It even affects a couple’s fertility! Moreover, men tend to find naturally cycling women more attractive as well.

    Hormonal birth control hurts relationships. On today’s podcast episode, Dr. Joe Malone breaks down the biological reason why this happens. Find out how birth control affects chemistry between men and women!

    Moreover, the terms of the treaty (also called the Samoa Agreement) will give the European Union controlling votes at the UN. The agreement even has the potential to strangle the spread of Christianity by silencing leaders who stand up for marriage and family. The impact will be devastating.

    Is Aragorn the epitome of masculinity? How do Lord of the Rings characters model masculine virtues? Why is this even important?

    Right now, there’s a masculinity crisis in society. People talk about toxic masculinity. Boys don’t know how to be strong men and good fathers. Many men don’t know what positive masculinity looks like!

    The breakdown of masculinity contributes to the breakdown of the family. This, in turn, leads to abortion and many other societal evils.

    So, how do we model manhood for today’s world? Books and movies can be excellent models of virtue, since they form minds and imaginations. Many of J. R. R. Tolkien’s LOTR characters embody positive masculinity.

    On today’s episode, we unpack the many masculine virtues in popular Lord of the Rings characters (both in the books and the movies). Find out what you can learn from Aragorn, Legolas, and the rest of the Fellowship of the Ring (plus Faramir)!

  • Does Birth Control Affect Health? An Honest Look by a Women's Health Practitioner

    How does birth control affect fertility? Why do I have weight gain from birth control pill? What are the birth control pill side effects?

    There's a reason women ask these questions. Right now, millions of women are one some form of hormonal birth control, such as the mini-pill or IUD. But many don’t realize that birth control comes with a host of health risks. 

    Many teen girls are placed on the birth control pill to “fix” heavy bleeding or menstrual issues. But birth control doesn’t heal the underlying issue. Often, it masks fertility issues, such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or endometriosis.

    On today’s episode, Dr. Jessica Whelan, a woman’s health expert, unpacks the side-effects of hormonal birth control. A woman’s natural cycles positively impact her health and fertility. But the synthetic hormones found in birth control damage health.

    Dr. Whelan also shares her experience helping women heal hormonal imbalances and detox from birth control.
