With declining church attendance and shifting values, there's no denying that our culture's posture toward Christianity has changed. Some say America is now "post-Christian," but author Aaron Renn believes it is downright "anti-Christian." In a recent NY Times profile, Renn explains why he thinks Christianity now occupies a "negative world," and why the winsome approach of leaders like Tim Keller should be abandoned for more aggressive tactics. Then, Phil talks with legendary musician, songwriter, and producer Charlie Peacock about his new memoir, "Roots in Rhythm: A Life in Music." Also this week, a leaked memo reveals the real impact of Trump's foreign aid cuts and immigration policy, and what exhibits would you add to the Museum of Failure?
