Christian Strategies for an Anti-Christian Age | Aaron Renn

The Bridgehead

Jonathon Van Maren speaks with Aaron Renn, author of "Life in Negative World: Confronting Challenges in an Anti-Christian Culture."

They discuss the decline of Christianity's influence in America & how we see this played out in 3 presidential sex scandals, the impact of societal changes on Christian communities, and how Christians can build resilience in an increasingly anti-Christian world.

Aaron delves into his three-worlds model and its implications, the cultural shift marked by events post-2014, and the need for churches to better address gender issues in a way that resonates with men.
