I've always referred to Mother Angelica as the witness to Providence. She'd been a nun for her whole adult life.

She steps out and says I'm going to create this this television network. No money, two hundred dollars, some sheep and goats and and the nuns, you know, and people thought she was crazy.

And in the industry they thought she'll never get it off the ground. It's not going to last six months.

There's not going to be any interest in that. And yet she was right. She was a pioneer. She stepped

out in faith, took the risk even though she didn't have the money if she trusted so deeply

in our Lord to know that he would provide what she needed and he did.

Hello everybody welcome back to the Lila Rose podcast.

Okay, you're probably wondering where am I right now. I am actually in

Nappa in Northern California at something called the Nappa Institute and I'm here in

this outdoor studio with my dear friends at EWTN. This episode is going to be very

inspiring and it's very meaningful for me personally so I'm very excited to share

this with you because we're going to be deep diving the story of Mother

Angelica who's somebody that if you don't already know about her you need to know about her.

Mother Angelica is the foundress of E. W. T. N. The Eternal Word Television Network.

Now it is in the digital age and doing all kinds of amazing things and the show, the podcast,

the Lila Rose podcast, is officially partnering with EWTN.

But today we're going to be talking with the chairman and the CEO of EwTN, Michael Warsaw, and he is here with me. This is actually his set we're using. So thank you,

Michael. Thank you, Lala. You're free to ask questions too since I'm using your cameras.

But it's delightful to get to be out here and beautiful Nappa with you.

Absolutely. This is great. This is great. Thanks for doing this.

Yeah, thank you for doing this.

So you have a lot on your shoulders.
