About this episode
Dr. Joe Rigney discusses the need for Christian clarity and courage in the context of modern American society.
On this episode of “The Kylee Cast,” Dr. Joe Rigney, a pastor, author, and fellow of theology at New Saint Andrews College, joins Federalist Managing Editor Kylee Griswold to discuss his essay in the new book "Welcome to Negative World." Pastor Rigney and Kylee dive into Aaron Renn's famous "Three Worlds" framework, why "winsomeness" evangelism failed, how American laws and institutions turned against natural law, and the need for Christian clarity and courage rather than Jesus PR.
