Is abortion just another political issue—or is it one of the defining spiritual and cultural battles of our time?
In this episode of The John Lovell Show, John sits down with pro-life activist, author, and filmmaker Seth Gruber for a wide-ranging conversation about abortion in America, the Christian response to the abortion industry, spiritual warfare, the early church, and what it will take to preserve Western civilization.

Seth breaks down the argument behind his viral “demonic counterfeit to communion” message and explains why he believes abortion cannot be separated from the broader spiritual, cultural, and philosophical battles facing America.
John and Seth also discuss the dramatic changes to the abortion fight following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the growing role of the abortion pill, and a major divide within the modern pro-life movement over what legal protection for unborn children should actually look like.
They also explore the forgotten history of Christian resistance, the courage of the early church, the responsibility of pastors and Christian men to defend innocent life, and why Seth believes Christians today need to recover a blueprint for faithfulness that previous generations understood.
In this episode:
• Why Seth calls abortion a spiritual battle
• “My body, my choice” and the counterfeit of communion
• The abortion industry and the spiritual significance Seth sees behind it
• Why protecting the unborn should matter to men who call themselves protectors
• What Christians can practically do to fight abortion
