SPECIAL EPISODE—Hostile Grounds: Debriefing the City Club of Cleveland

from The Narrative · host Center for Christian Virtue

They'll know we're Christians because... we don't vandalize buildings?In this special episode of The Narrative, Aaron Baer, Maria Baer, David Mahan, and Mike Andrews pull back the curtain on Aaron’s recent appearance at the historic City Club of Cleveland and the firestorm that erupted around it.The team unpacks what it was like to share the Gospel in a room defined by spiritual oppression and LGBTQ activism, while protesters outside resorted to vandalism and intimidation. You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes stories legacy media refused to cover—including the "gotcha" questions that backfired and how accusations of "hate" collided with basic statements of reality like men can’t get pregnant and children deserve protection.Beyond the headlines, this conversation reveals the deep cultural divide on display and why Christians cannot retreat from the public square, even when the cost is real.Tune in to hear the story the mainstream headlines refused to tell.Key ResourcesCity Club Recording: Watch or listen to the full, unedited event on CCV.org. The Hope and a Future Report: Explore the data on Ohio’s #29 ranking in the Family Structure Index and the "Success Sequence" at Hope.CCV.org.The Minnery Fellowship: Equipping pastors to lead their congregations through cultural challenges with biblical courage.
