The internet has taken sides—Blake Lively or Justin Baldoni? Today, Lila is breaking down the fiasco: how we got here, the backlash, and the lessons everyone should be paying attention to.

E187: Debunking The Myths About Opus Dei w/Fr Luke Mata Feb 07, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, Lila sits down with Fr. Luke Mata to explore the spiritual principles of Opus Dei, which translates to "The Work of God." Unlike many religious groups which encourage people to leave society in order to become sanctified, Opus Dei Founder St. Josemaria Escriva taught that one can become holy through the business of everyday life, not in spite of it.

Fr. Luke also shares how his deep faith—and his mother’s example of holiness in the midst of suffering—shaped his spiritual journey, guiding him to a vocation in the priesthood where he would ultimately serve as Vicar of Opus Dei for the West.

Fr. Luke has a PhD in Moral Philosophy and served in two papal synods. He also is a former Vicar of Opus Dei for the West.

Don’t miss this inspiring conversation about vocation, leadership, and living out your faith in the modern world.

Paul also shares his powerful journey of faith—from a partying lifestyle to a deeper conversion —along with his love story, a romance that bridged the divide between Catholicism and Protestantism. Plus, we explore his family’s rich history, including his father’s unlikely conversion to Catholicism in Korea.

E185: She Forgave Her Family's Murderers w/Immaculee Ilibagiza Jan 31, 2025

Show notes

She survived the Rwandan Genocide. For three agonizing months, Immaculée Ilibagiza hid in a tiny bathroom with seven other women, knowing that at any moment, they could be discovered and killed.

When she finally emerged, she was met with unimaginable loss—her family and friends had all been brutally murdered. But in the face of such horror, Immaculée's faith remained unshaken. She found hope, clung to grace, and powerfully forgave those who took everything from her. Her story is both heartbreaking and inspiring, and I’m deeply honored to have this conversation with her. I hope it moves you as much as it did me.
