The Jason Jones Show

I sit down with two wonderful guests, Father Viktor, Nigeria’s VPP Director, and Lex Pouliot, our Manager of Middle East and Special Projects. Together, we unpack the reality of Christian persecution in Nigeria, the forces driving it, and review urgent persecuted Church alerts that show what’s at stake for our brothers and sisters around the world.I believe we’re called to stand together—in solidarity, in prayer, and in action—to defend the vulnerable and uphold the God-given dignity of every person.

In this episode, I have the pleasure of hosting Brian Kemper, the founder and of Rock for Life. We explore how culture, faith, and community-driven activism have shaped the pro-life movement over the decades. Our conversation delves into the origins of Rock for Life, the importance of face-to-face activism, and the future of pro-life advocacy inspired by cultural engagement.

Captain Josephine Guilbeau shares her powerful journey from military service to vocal advocacy against unjust war. We explore the moral obligation of military personnel to refuse illegal orders, the importance of faith and conscience in times of conflict, and the urgent need for moral clarity in a world on the brink of war.

I sit down with Dr. Daniel Bannoura, a Palestinian Christian theologian whose work refuses to separate belief from lived reality. Together, we explore the intersection of faith, politics, and identity in the Middle East—confronting how the legacy of empire and the rise of Christian Zionism have distorted the gospel, and how systems of violence continue to shape both perception and policy. At its core, this is a conversation about clarity and courage: listening to Palestinian voices and reexamining what justice, truth, and the gospel really demand.

In this episode, I sit down with Khalil Sayegh to discuss life in the West Bank and the realities of living under occupation. We explore the resilience of the Palestinian people and the power of refusing hate, even in the face of conflict. Khalil shares how media narratives shape global perception, how faith informs response, and what meaningful action can look like for those seeking to help.

Rev. Dr. Munther begins by tracing the historic roots of Christianity in the land and explaining the challenges facing Christians today. He describes how daily life is shaped by checkpoints, separation barriers, discrimination, and recurring violence, and shares his perspective on the pressures many Palestinians experience in their efforts to remain in their homeland. The conversation also explores the concept of Christian Zionism — how it is defined, its theological and political implications, and why Rev. Dr. Munther believes it presents serious challenges for Palestinian Christians. He discusses the recent visit of 1,000 pastors to the West Bank and reflects on the broader political and spiritual impact of Western Christian engagement in the region. Save West Bank Christians Vulnerable People Project has launched the Save West Bank Christians campaign to support historic Christian communities facing displacement and hardship.

On this episode of The Jason Jones Show, Jason speaks with Fr. Bashar, priest of Taybeh — the only completely Christian town in the Holy Land. Fr. Bashar shares Taybeh’s ancient history and its deep connection to the time of Christ. Located near Jericho and Jerusalem, the town holds profound significance for Christianity. He also describes the severe challenges facing the community today. Taybeh has endured escalating threats and violence from Israeli settlers — attacks that began before October 7, 2023, and have intensified dramatically since. As daily life becomes increasingly difficult, many Christian families are leaving. Today, only about 1,500 residents remain. This conversation is a sobering look at the struggle to preserve one of Christianity’s historic communities in the land of its birth. 🌍 Learn More & Support Jason Jones / VPP: • Vulnerable People Project (VPP): https://www.vulnerablepeopleproject.com • Jason’s Substack: https://thejasonjonesshow.substack.com • Instagram: @thevulnerablepeopleproject • X (Twitter): @Vulnerable_VPP
