E306: Why She Calls Herself a Christian Feminist w/Leah Sargeant | Lila Rose Show

Leah Sargeant was a proud atheistic feminist who experienced a deep conversion to Christ. But she couldn't fully ditch the term "feminism," and in today's episode she explains why. She also shares her struggles with fertility and policy solutions for stronger families, and we discuss whether gender roles are helpful.

Andrew grew up in the shadow of his older brothers and disconnected from his father. Paired with early pornography exposure, he developed an incomplete and insecure understanding of his masculinity, which manifested in same-sex attractions.
