Ep. 2082 Evangelicals in CRISIS in 2023?!

Broadcast on:
25 Oct 2023

Is evangelicalism in crisis? We see people like David French and others taking up arms against a boogeyman of Christian Nationalism while leaders like Russell Moore, formerly of the Southern Baptists, have left their historical denominations.

Well, today I am joined by one of the most insightful analysts of contemporary Christianity, Aaron Renn. Aaron is a writer and consultant in Indianapolis who is a co-founder and Senior Fellow at American Reformer. 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 Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and others. He has been frequently cited in many publications around the world.

Highlights: 

  • “The negative world has brought new and more intense forms of pressure against the church and against Christians than we have ever seen before.” - Aaron Renn
  • “We have to get serious about our faith. We have to be excellent, we can’t be mediocre anymore.” - Aaron Renn
  • “We need to have a shift in our mindset away from majority mindset, to minority mindset.” - Aaron Renn
