  • Episode 344: The Negative Space
    Mar 7 2025
    In this episode, we explore the concept of "Negative Space," a term coined by writer Aaron Renn to describe the increasingly hostile environment that, he argues, Christians in America have faced since 2014. Renn contends that this shift marks a departure from an era of neutrality, ushering in a cultural landscape where openly professing Christian beliefs—particularly those aligned with traditional or conservative values—is now viewed as a social liability. You can find the New York Times piece we reference here.
