#337 How to Live with Courage and Hope in the Negative World with Aaron Renn


Listen Later

Aaron Renn’s article-turned-book Life in the Negative World captures what many American Christians have felt deeply–our culture has turned from viewing Christianity as positive, to neutral, to negative. Examples abound, including culture’s views on marriage, abortion, gender, and other topics. So, how should we live in such a negative world? Here are some strategic insights and practical suggestions.

Aaron is the co-founder and Senior Fellow at American Reformer, and here is a link to his new book Life in the Negative World: Confronting Challenges in an Anti-Christian Culture.

He had a first career in management and technology consulting advising major corporations as a Partner at Accenture. He then had a second career in urban policy as a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research. Today his focus is on helping conservatives and the American church rise to the challenge of finding success in the 21st century.

His work has appeared in a number of leading global publications, including The GuardianThe Wall Street JournalThe Atlantic and others, and he has been frequently cited in many publications around the world.

Key Takeaways:
