Self-Mastery in a World Unhinged — guest: Aaron Renn



In a world full of male provocateurs and bravado, how are men supposed to exemplify true courage and strength?

Writer and consultant Aaron Renn (website/newsletter, Substack, X, LinkedIn) helps us understand the significance of self-mastery in the life of a man. As men who are grounded in Christ, we have no need for fear or vitriol. By mastering self-control and integrity, we can be a stabilizing influence in our culture, both online and in the real world.

Aaron is a writer and consultant in the Indianapolis area who is a co-founder and Senior Fellow at American Reformer. He is on his third career:

  1. management and technology consultant, advising major corporations as a Partner at Accenture
  2. urban policy specialist as a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research
  3. helping conservatives and the American church rise to the challenge of finding success in the 21st century

Aaron has been cited, and his work has appeared, in a variety of leading publications, including The Guardian, The Wall Street Journal, and The Atlantic.
