The Forgotten Fathers: A Pro-Life Ministry You Need to Know About
Podcasts > The Steve Marston Show
Tuesday, November 3, 2026
When we talk about unexpected pregnancies and the pro-life movement, the conversation usually focuses on mothers and babies. But what about the fathers?
On today's episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve revisits a powerful conversation with John Vance, who leads the Man to Man fatherhood ministry at New Beginnings Pregnancy Center in Central Arkansas.
John shares how his own encounter with Jesus Christ transformed his life and marriage, eventually leading him into a ministry that reaches men facing unexpected pregnancies. Through honest conversations, biblical encouragement, practical resources, and ongoing support, Man to Man is helping fathers understand their responsibility, discover hope, and connect with local churches.
It's a side of the pro-life movement you may have never considered!

π That's Not in the Bible: "All Sins Are Equal"
You've probably heard someone say that all sins are equal in God's eyes. But is that actually what Scripture teaches?
Steve examines James 2:10, John 19:11, and Luke 12:47–48 to explain an important biblical distinction: all sin makes us guilty before God, but not every sin carries the same degree of seriousness or earthly consequences.
