The Lila Rose Show

Today's podcast episode is a little different from our usual episodes. I sit down with my dear brother Paul Rose, an entrepreneur and the creator of the popular podcast, Sing the Hours. After a fit of uncontrollable giggling, and some false starts singing (he's the professional, not me), Paul and I deep dive the ancient Christian practice of Singing the Hours. We explore where should we start with prayer? What is the Liturgy of The Hours? How does praying the Psalms prepare us for Heaven? Why is this essential for Christians, in eternity? We discuss how the history of this practice is rooted in ancient Jewish prayer, how the Liturgy of the Hours connects us to Jesus in a special way, how Christian martyrs died with these prayers on their lips, and much more. I hope you enjoy this episode!
