Was America really founded on Christian principles?

Season 2, Ep. 31

As the far left ramps up their calls for the removal of statues of America's founders over claims of racism, it is important that all citizens truly understand the principles upon which the United States was founded.


In today’s episode of The Van Maren Show, Mark David Hall speaks about America’s Founding Fathers, the ideals upon which our society was established, and what this means for American’s today.

 

Hall is a Distinguished Professor of Politics at George Fox University and author of the book Did America Have A Christian Founding?

  • Why hasn't the pro-life movement persuaded more American voters?

    34:37|
    On this week’s episode of The Van Maren Show, Jonathon discusses the challenges of reaching the average voter with a pro-life message ahead of the upcoming November elections. Jonathon analyzes why pro-lifers have not been successful in effectively spreading their message, comparing the American situation to what happened in Ireland in 2018. Pro-lifers face an uphill battle given the enormous resources of the abortion industry and the complete support it receives from the mainstream media. But by laying out the reality of the situation, Jonathon is hoping to spur the pro-life movement into adopting winning strategies that transform our culture into one which defends the sanctity of life.LSNTV Apple Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lsntv/id6469105564LSNTV Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lifesitenews.app****SHOP ALL YOUR FUN AND FAVORITE LIFESITE MERCH! https://shop.lifesitenews.com/+++Connect with John-Henry Westen and all of LifeSiteNews on social media:LifeSite: https://linktr.ee/lifesitenewsJohn-Henry Westen: https://linktr.ee/jhwesten
