How Early Christianity Fought a Hostile Roman Empire w/Voice of Reason | Lila Rose Show

What was Rome really like at the time of Christ? It was a culture of death—where women were silenced, babies were discarded, and power ruled without mercy. Then came Christianity, flipping the empire upside down. Through brutal martyrdom, early Christians introduced a moral revolution that shattered pagan values and sparked the very idea of human dignity. They didn’t just preach love—they freed slaves and redefined civilization. The wild part? The Roman world looks a lot like ours today. This episode will fire you up with the bold, countercultural spirit of early Christianity—and show you how to fight back against the modern cult of dehumanization.
