How to Revive Our Culture with Jason Jones


Listen Later

On episode #166, I spoke with Jason Jones about how to revive our culture from a Catholic perspective.

Key points from our discussion include:

- The biggest issue in today’s world
- Catholic approach to the great reset 
- The need to strength families and communities through subsidiarity
- What motivated Jason to write this book
- And much more...

Biography:

Jason Jones is a film producer, author, activist, popular podcast host, and human rights worker. He is president of the Human-Rights Education and Relief Organization (H.E.R.O.) known for its two main programs The Vulnerable People Project and Movie to Movement. 

In 2006, Jones was an Executive Producer of "Bella," which won several film industry awards, most notably the People's Choice Award at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival. 

In 2009 Jason was an associate producer of “The Stoning of Soraya M”, winner of the NAACP Image Award and the Los Angeles Film Festival. In 2009 Jones produced the award-winning pro-life short film Crescendo with Eduardo Verastegui and Pattie Mallete (the mother of Justin Bieber). Crescendo raised over 6 million dollars in North America to support pregnancy centers and women’s shelters. 

Jason launched the Vulnerable People Project’s Hope for Afghanistan program after receiving a request to rescue a friend’s mother trapped in Afghanistan during the US Military withdrawal. VPP’s Hope for Afghanistan has since grown immensely in the last two years. Since the disastrous US withdrawal VPP has evacuated thousands of religious minorities and former Afghan allies, provided for safe houses in neighboring countries, and worked to resettle vulnerable Afghans. VPP has delivered over 3 million meals to families in need across Afghanistan; opened a women’s health clinic; drilled wells that provide potable water to several villages; and provided security for schools so children can study and learn safely. 

 At the heart of everything Jason does is a mission to stand between the violent and the vulnerable: from the child in the womb to Christians in Nigeria, to civilians in Ukraine to our former allies in Afghanistan. His tireless work in the pro-life movement was just recognized in a featured chapter in Legacy of Life, a book honoring fifty of the greatest pro-life leaders of the last fifty years.
