they can be wrong up to 17% of the time Church Technology Criticism (00:58:22) The "negative world" concept by Aaron Renn - cultural shift from positive to neutral to negative perception of Christianity Common criticisms: "Tax the churches," "Money should go to the poor" Biblical response: Only Judas complained about expensive things being used to honor Jesus Economic reality: Larger churches often spend lower percentages on tech than smaller churches due to economy of scale Technology costs: Modern equipment costs significantly less than in the early 2000s Social Media Strategy (00:12:38) Initial resistance: Reformed background's "theologized cynicism" toward self-promotion The turning point: People spend 16-18 hours/week on social media hearing secular perspectives "Air war vs. Ground war": Ground war = traditional discipleship, Air war = cultural engagement Digital Areopagus: Social media as the modern equivalent of where Paul engaged culture in Athens Current following growth: From 20-40k to significantly larger audience through strategic content Worship Pastor Turnover Crisis (01:26:06) Root causes identified: Getting into ministry for wrong reasons (seeking bigger stages/record deals) Senior pastors hiring for talent over pastoral gifting Lack of pastoral development and broader leadership responsibilities "Warm up the crowd" mentality rather than true pastoral partnership Solutions proposed: Hire character first, develop competency Give worship pastors genuine pastoral responsibilities Focus on being pastors who happen to use music Create long-term development paths Hiring and Leadership Development (00:36:29) Key principle: "Always bet on leadership" over pure talent Character evaluation: Look at family life as indicator of leadership capacity "Hire slow, fire fast" - don't ignore red flags in interviews Vision alignment: Ensure worship leaders can come under senior pastor's vision Josh's story: Had to fire a worship leader after 5 weeks for vision misalignment Succession Planning (00:45:13) LakePoint's success factors: Outgoing pastor (Steve Stroop) "left campground clean" - addressed problems before transition Incoming pastor honored what came before rather than dismissing it 70% credit to predecessor, 30% to successor for smooth transition Key advice for incoming leaders: Honor those who built what you inherited Watch your pace in first year - observe more than you act Win relationships and excel on stage Don't make major changes without building equity first Staying Humble While Growing (00:52:54) Key relationships: Spouse who believes in you but isn't impressed by you Hire up: Surround yourself with people more talented than you Find joy in others' wins: Move from taking all the shots to giving others opportunities Dave Stone's wisdom: "Don't let praise go to your head, don't let criticism go to your heart" Josh's perspective: Staying confident is often harder than staying humble Future Ministry Vision (01:08:27) Chris's focus: Leadership pipeline development - never having to post job openings Josh's project: "Discipleship at scale" through vertically aligned content delivery Core principle: "We're in the disciple business, not the events business" Technology integration: Purpose-built app to connect sermon, podcast, reading plans, and groups Quotable Moments "If you find yourself on team Judas, get a different team." - Josh on criticizing church spending "Two visions create division." - Chris on worship pastor alignment "Don't let praise go to your head and don't let criticism go to your heart." - Dave Stone's advice "We're not in the events business, we're in the disciple business." - Josh on ministry focus "The loudest boos come from the cheapest seats." - Josh on handling criticism Action Items for Church Leaders Experiment with AI as a research and content creation tool while maintaining proper oversight Evaluate your hiring process - prioritize character and leadership potential over pure talent Assess succession planning - are you preparing for healthy transitions? Review social media strategy - consider it as cultural engagement rather than self-promotion Examine technology spending through economy of scale lens rather than raw dollar amounts Develop internal leadership pipelines rather than constantly hiring externally Align all ministry elements toward discipleship rather than just events Resources Mentioned ChatGPT/Grok for AI assistance Stream Deck for video production control Canon C80 cameras for podcast production Aaron Renn's "Negative World" essay Apple Maps analogy for leadership transitions Connect with Guests LakePoint Church: [Church website/social media] Josh Howerton: [Social media handles] Chris Kuti: [Social media handles] This episode was recorded at LakePoint Church's broadcast studio.

The widening gender gap is reshaping American society in profound and troubling ways. Join hosts Marshall Toplansky and Joel Kotkin as they dive deep into this growing divide with Christine Emba, author of "Rethinking Sex: A Provocation," and Aaron Renn, writer of "Life in the Negative World."Drawing from fresh research including focus groups conducted in Raleigh, North Carolina, our guests reveal a dating landscape filled with mutual misunderstanding and pessimism. Women are becoming more progressive and educationally advanced, while men appear to be falling behind economically and educationally, creating a perfect storm of resentment and confusion about gender roles.This isn't just an American phenomenon—countries like South Korea are experiencing similar challenges, with political polarization intensifying the divide between genders. Young men trend more conservative while young women move further left, making dating across ideological lines increasingly rare. Is this creating a return to a quasi-feudal structure where only high-status men find partners while many others remain single?The conversation explores how non-binary identities, the prevalence of single-parent households, and the rise of technologies like pornography and AI are further complicating human connection. These artificial substitutes for relationships serve as "anesthetics" that prevent people from experiencing the discomfort needed to make positive changes in their lives.Despite these challenges, our guests offer pathways forward. They emphasize treating finding a partner with the same intentionality as career development, the importance of media portraying healthy relationships, and the critical role older adults can play as mentors for younger generations navigating these complex waters without guidance.Listen now to understand the forces driving men and women apart and what we might do to rebuild the bridges between them.

Join us as we explore ways to encourage our children and cultivate resilience in the face of modern life's pressures.

Over the last few months, many have argued that Christianity is experiencing something of a "vibe shift". Just last year, Aaron Renn published a book called Life in the Negative World, arguing that the Church was living in increasingly oppositional times in the Western world. So could it be possible that, perhaps, there is something more going on here too? And if so, what should we do about it? ***Episode note: please forgive our audio imbalance issues.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by negativity—whether from the news, social media, or even your own thoughts? In this episode […] The post How to Be More Positive in a Negative World appeared first on Breakthrough Revolution with Free Setrana.

Pastor Nate Walker

With declining church attendance and shifting values, there's no denying that our culture's posture toward Christianity has changed. Some say America is now “post-Christian,” but author Aaron Renn believes it is downright “anti-Christian.” In a recent NY Times profile, Renn explains why he thinks Christianity now occupies a “negative world,” and why the winsome approach of leaders like Tim Keller should be abandoned for more aggressive tactics. Then, Phil talks with legendary musician, songwriter, and producer Charlie Peacock about his new memoir, “Roots in Rhythm: A Life in Music.” Also this week, a leaked memo reveals the real impact of Trump's foreign aid cuts and immigration policy, and what exhibits would you add to the Museum of Failure?   Holy Post Plus: Bonus Interview: https://www.patreon.com/posts/124128840/   Ad-free Version of this episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/124154267/ 0:00 - Show Starts   2:35 - Theme Song   2:00 - Sponsor - World Relief - Visit https://worldrelief.org/STAND to join The Path to support vulnerable communities around the world!   3:10 - Sponsor - Bushnell University - Equip yourself to be transformative in your community!

This episode comes out of an article I wrote a few months ago called A Counter Catechism. I was inspired by a book called Life in the Negative World, where the author, a man named Ren, said we needed to know what we believe and what we don't believe in light of the negativity towards Christianity today, even the hostility. So I've written a piece on a counter catechism concerning belief in God, and I would like to read part of that today. Douglas Groothuis, Ph.D., is Distinguished University Research Professor of Apologetics and Christian Worldview at Cornerstone University and the author of twenty books, including Beyond the Wager: The Christian Brilliance of Blaise Pascal (InterVarsity, 2024).

Christianity in the West has gone from the center of civilization to the margins. Once, it shaped laws, culture, and the moral order. Today, it's viewed with suspicion—or outright hostility. The world we live in is not the same as it was in the 1950s. It's not even the same as it was in 2010. The institutions that once carried a Christian foundation have either been conquered or turned against us. And yet, many evangelicals still cling to the illusion that we can "engage the culture" on neutral ground—as if we're still in charge, as if the world hasn't already chosen sides.But this is not the first time the Church has faced such a crisis. In the 9th century, Alfred the Great ruled a crumbling England. Viking invaders weren't just burning towns—they were burning churches. Christian civilization itself was at stake. But Alfred didn't accept defeat. He didn't surrender his people to the whims of pagans. He built. He fortified. He created Christian strongholds—burhs—that became centers of resistance and renewal. And because of that, England was not lost.We have entered a Negative World, where compromise leads only to decline, and surrender guarantees destruction. The question is no longer whether we should build strong Christian communities—the question is whether we will have the courage to do so before it's too late.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors. You can join our Patreon athttps://patreon.com/rightresponseministries or you can donate athttps://rightresponseministries.com/donate.Today, we lay out the strategy. What Alfred's burh system teaches us, how Christian civilization has survived and advanced in hostile times, and the non-negotiable steps we must take to reclaim ground.

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.

In the 1950's half of Americans went to church. Today, it's about 21%. What happened? Why the decline? How do you navigate through the world that is on the decline?  On this podcast, Kurt and Chad welcome author Aaron Renn https://www.aaronrenn.com of the book Life in a Negative World and his conversation about how we have went from a Positive to Neutral to Negative, and how we live without being influenced by the negative, and being people who influence the negative.

This week, the Rebels are joined by Pastor Joel Webbon of Right Response Ministries to discuss Reformed Confessionalism. One of the things we must do if we want to be faithful in the season in which God has placed us is to be willing to re-dig the wells of Abraham... to stand on the shoulders of the political, ecclesiastical and familial Fathers who have come before us. But what about everything we experienced in 2020? We can't deny that we live in Trashworld, that everyone has lied to us and that it is easy to be suspicious of everything. How do we anchor ourselves to the faith once and for all delivered to the saints while simultaneously cultivating masculine suspicion and curiosity?

Christians in America—even fairly young Christians—can look back over their lives and recognize something has changed. They remember former days when the culture regarded Christians in a favorable light. You were in good standing if you were perceived as a Christian. But then there was a period when it wasn't necessarily good to be a Christian, but it wasn't a scarlet letter either. But today, Christians in America perceive a chill in the air—the culture today is actually hostile to Christian faith and principles. What happened? In this encore episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast, cultural commentator Aaron Renn charts out how the American culture shifted under our feet. This episode will help you better understand these changes, and also how all Christians around the globe today find themselves in a Negative World. The pressure we face may differ in degree of severity, but we are all frowned upon by broader culture when we cling to Christ.

In today's angry world, it's important to have lighthearted conversations and provide an escape for listeners. Open-mindedness and respectful disagreement are crucial in politics, and it's important to be informed voters.
