In Today’s Conversation hosted by NAE President Walter Kim, Ryan Burge, assistant professor of political science at Eastern Illinois University, shares his research on the rise and fall of institutions in America. Together they also explore what leaders can do to usher in institutional renewal, particularly through faithful Christian presence and serving the least of these.

Walter & Ryan also discuss:

• When institutional mistrust and cynicism began to take root;
• How humility, transparency and communication combat cynical attitudes;
• What guidance the Bible offers in this moment; and
• How churches and other institutions can labor toward renewal.
