By Jonathon Van Maren I travel a lot throughout North America speaking on the pervasiveness of the poisonous porn plague, and when I speak to parents, they are stunned when I read off statistics that highlight just how prevalent sexting is in nearly every single high school. When I speak to students, on the other…
By Jonathon Van Mren Teen magazines have always been trashy. The covers scream sex advice at young girls, giving them thousands of sizzling tips on how to keep their boyfriend happy, all of which seem to involve a wide range of sexual behavior at a very young age. Self-objectification, apparently, is sexy. Glamour magazine has actually promoted dangerous…
By Jonathon Van Maren November 10, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – Over the past two decades, it has slowly dawned on Christians that the implications of same-sex “marriage” are far greater for those who still believe in the traditional understanding of marriage than even the cynics first thought possible.

First, it was the National Post’s Ashley Csanady claiming that Mike Pence’s marital precautions constituted “rape culture.” Now, Anne Kingston of Maclean’s has published a hysterical article titled “Donald Trump’s first ‘End of Women’s History’ month.” Her…
