[Special] Os Guinness to Church Leaders on This Cultural Moment

In a time of deep polarization, cultural uncertainty, and spiritual drift, Os Guinness stands out as one of the most insightful voices to guide us through the challenges of our day. At RENEW.org, our mission is to renew the teachings of Jesus to fuel disciple making. We believe Dr. Guinness offers the kind of wisdom most needed for our mission in such a time as this. Os Guinness is an internationally respected author, social critic, and cultural analyst who has written or edited more than thirty books, including The Call, Time for Truth, and The Magna Carta of Humanity, and just last week, he released his latest book, America Agonistes: America’s 250th and the Restoration of a Nation in Conflict with Itself and Its Past. Educated at Oxford, where he completed his doctorate in the social sciences, Guinness has a respected voice like few others in the evangelical world. He addresses audiences across the globe, from universities and think tanks to parliaments and business forums. Bobby Harrington conducted the interview here.
