The Van Maren Show
Every week, The Van Maren Show will try to get a handle on what is really going on in our culture today. It can be difficult to find news sources and storytellers that accurately reflect a Christian, socially conservative, pro-life, pro-family worldview. Join me on Wednesdays as we head to the front lines of the culture war. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Episodes
Liberals and conservatives alike have noticed an obvious “vibe shift” in America over the past several months, specifically since Donald Trump was elected to take back the White House. This shift must be welcomed and celebrated, but there’s still a lot of work ahead of us to defeat woke ideology and reestablish a Christian culture.
On this week’s episode of The Van Maren Show, Jonathon discusses some of the cultural effects...
U.S. Vice President JD Vance gave a speech for the ages in Munich earlier this month, directly chastising European leaders over their totalitarian censorship of conservatives and Christians. Unsurprisingly, many European politicians angrily denounced Vance and the Trump administration in response — indicating just how successful of a speech it was.
On this week’s episode of The Van Maren Show, Jonathan analyzes Vance’s “bombshel...
On this week’s episode of The Van Maren Show, Jonathon speaks with Alithea Williams, public policy manager of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC), about the latest on the United Kingdom's assisted suicide bill.
Williams emphasized that the bill still needs to pass a third reading after being scrutinized by a parliamentary committee and then pass the House of Lords. But if it passes the third reading, it’s un...
Jonathan Darnel was one of the 21 pro-life activists unjustly prosecuted and imprisoned by the Biden administration for participating in a rescue at a late-term abortion facility. Last month, however, he and his fellow activists were pardoned by President Donald Trump, and now they are free once again.
On this week's episode of The Van Maren Show, Darnel tells Jonathon his story of the rescue that got him arrested, the trial, hi...
The first two weeks of President Donald Trump’s second term have been a whirlwind of executive orders on a wide variety of issues, including some against gender ideology. What do these orders against gender ideology actually accomplish, and what do they leave aside?
On this week’s episode, Brandon Showalter of the Christian Post unpacks these executive orders and what they really mean in the fight against the transgender agenda....
Despite distancing himself from the pro-life movement on the campaign trail, President Donald Trump has nevertheless given pro-lifers reason for encouragement during his first week back in the White House. On this week's episode of The Van Maren Show, Jonathon contextualizes Trump's accomplishments thus far and explains what they mean for the pro-life movement and the emergence of a culture of life in America.
Secular political leaders seem more willing and able to tackle the issue of porn addiction than our priests and pastors. Why is that? And how should Christian communities tackle the issue? On this week's episode of The Van Maren Show, Jonathon speaks with Jacob Valk of Into the Light Ministries about how to "porn-proof" our homes, churches, and communities. Valk shares his unique insights on how we can actually keep our children, l...
Assisted suicide could very well become legal in the United Kingdom despite strong opposition from ex-prime ministers, clergy, and healthcare leaders. This is just the latest example of how the culture of death is gaining strength across the West. On this week's episode of The Van Maren Show, Jonathon sits down with John Deighan of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children to discuss the possibility of legal assisted suicid...
On this week's episode of The Van Maren Show, Jonathon speaks out against the tendency of some social conservatives to praise atheist "cultural Christians" who oppose the evil of gender ideology, explaining why they must not be considered allies in a common fight.
