TGC 256 — Cultivating a Spirit of Martyrdom

Cultivating a Spirit of Martyrdom

Dr. Scott Yenor

Aaron Renn has persuasively argued that we now live in the “negative world” with respect to Christianity. Being Christian is sociologically speaking, no longer seen by society as a positive good or even a neutral thing, but rather a negative evil — something to be gotten rid of (“Three Worlds” in First Things). Our guest has seen this born out in his own workplace as he records what happened when he professed a return to biblical male and female, family dynamics at a conference (“Anatomy of a Cancellation” in First Things). He admits he should have seen it coming, but even he was surprised by what happened. His suggestion was to begin cultivating a spirit of martyrdom.
