Ep. 2082 Evangelicals in CRISIS in 2023?!

Published: Oct. 25, 2023, 4:49 p.m.

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.
