From Life in the Negative World: Learning how to live in today's new social and cultural environment will require examination, trial and error, and adaptation over time. But there are ways to live with integrity and follow Christ today, even in a negative world. From a peak in church attendance in the mid-20th century, Christianity has been on a trajectory of decline in the United States. Once positive toward Christianity and Christian moral teachings, cultural shifts toward the mid-90s led many to adopt a more neutral tone toward the Christian faith, seeing it as one option among many in a pluralistic public square. Today, however, Christianity is viewed negatively, and being known as a Christian often means a lower social status in elite society. Christian morality is openly repudiated and viewed as a threat to the new moral order. In Life in the Negative World, author Aaron M. Renn looks at the lessons from Christian cultural engagement over the past 70 years and suggests specific strategies for churches, institutions, and individuals to live faithfully in the "negative" world—a culture opposed to Christian values and teachings. And since there is no one-size-fits-all solution, living as a follower of Christ in the new, negative world and being missionally engaged will require a diversity of strategies.

John J. Miller is joined by Aaron M. Renn to discuss his new book, 'Life in the Negative World.'

The media has told us a very straightforward, and depressing, story about Appalachia: it is a region that is being left behind as the rest of the U.S. economy chugs on; it's a destitute, hopeless place without good jobs, and filled with communities in decline. In his recent report on the region, Aaron M. Renn, a senior fellow at American Reformer, a Protestant nonprofit, complicates this picture. Appalachia, Renn shows, is no monolith (it consists of a diversity of areas with their challenges and identities); it has a rich cultural heritage, especially in music and the arts and natural beauty; and, while it faces its share of problems, it has tremendous opportunities for growth and several trends working in its favor. Today, Brent speaks with Renn about this much-maligned region, offering an insightful perspective on a region that has a crucial role to play in boosting social mobility for millions of Americans.Mentioned in this EpisodeThe Future of Appalachia by Aaron RennJoel KotkinJoelkotkin.comOpen and Closed NetworksAppalachia on Our Mind by Henry ShapiroHillbilly Elegy by J.D.

Pastor Steve sits down with Aaron M. Renn to discuss the shift in the cultural climate and what it might mean for the Church now and some of the patterns from the recent past. We hope you enjoyed last week's Bonus Episode, Interpersonal Relationships! (Episode 15) It is our goal for this interview about Negative World to come out close enough to our previous release of the interview with James Wood (Episode 14: Second Thoughts About the Winsome Approach to Cultural Engagement) since this interview with Aaron M. Renn is related. (We recommend that you first listen to the interview with James if you haven't yet, but it should be able to stand on its own regardless. There are lots of insights to be gleaned from this conversation.) Thanks and we hope you listen in again on April 26th (4th Wednesday in April). The Grounded Team

In the US, being a Christian used to be a prerequisite for popularity as a politician or social influencer. That hasn't been true for a while. But why?

"One of the few things that both left and right can agree upon nowadays is that both the "establishment" and the meritocracy ought to be overthrown. But in all of these discussions, there's little awareness that there is a history and a scholarly literature behind these concepts. And all of that in one way or another draws upon the work of the sociologist E. Digby Baltzell, who was born in 1915 and died in 1996 and spent most of his academic career at the University of Pennsylvania." Aaron M. Renn, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, has dug deep into the scholarship of Baltzell and the larger question of how the "establishment" has impacted American politics. He chats with Geoff Kabaservice about his findings.

#54 Aaron M. Renn: Men, Pastors, Preachers, Church by Wesley Seminary Podcast

John Tierney joins Aaron M. Renn to discuss the federal government’s efforts to limit electronic cigarettes (vaping), and the corruption of the public health profession more generally. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, public health officials combatted epidemics of cholera and dysentery through improvements in water and sewage systems. In its modern form, however, this once-noble profession acts largely as an advocate for progressive causes, with trivial priorities including taxes on soda, calorie counts for restaurants, and free condoms. In recent years, public health officials in America have even turned against vaping—the most effective antismoking product ever created. “The public-health establishment has become a menace to public health,” Tierney writes in City Journal. John Tierney is a contributing editor to City Journal. He spent more than two decades as a reporter and columnist with the New York Times. 

Aaron M. Renn is a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research and a Contributing Editor at its quarterly magazine City Journal. He is a writer and researcher on urban policy, with a particular focus on demographics, economic development, civic branding, and infrastructure. He was previously a partner in the consulting firm Accenture. Having grown up in rural Southern Indiana, Aaron loves cities like only someone from a town of 29 people can. He and his wife Katy attend Central Presbyterian and live on the Upper West Side.
