A Special Message from Aaron Renn

Please support my work during this limited time only opportunity to join my Member program at 30-40% off.

I hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving. I’m very thankful this has been my biggest year ever of growth and readership. I’ll probably end up with about three million or more views this year. Many more of my pieces here have gone viral and made an impact. And my book Life in the Negative World got great reviews and is changing the way churches do ministry.

I work hard to give you insights and ideas you just can’t find anywhere else. I’m one of the few genuinely independent voices pointing people in productive, forward looking directions. I try my best to earn your trust by being as diligent as I can in taking seriously the responsibility that comes with having a major platform.

I can’t do all this without your support. And one of the best ways to support my work is also the most valuable to you. It is to join my Member program, the community for my closest subscribers. Being a Member a great way to go deeper and build community with likeminded others.

As a Member, you get all the benefits of being a paid Subscriber, plus:

• Monthly interactive Zoom sessions were we discuss important essays, interview special guests, host “ask me anything” sessions, and where I give behind the scenes looks at my work.

• NEW! A monthly Member only podcast featuring solo episodes from me. I know some of you miss my old solo podcast episodes, so I’m bringing them back as part of the Member program.

• Access to a private, Member only Slack group.

With my Member group, I’m able to be much more candid than I am here in my public posts. I can name names, be more speculative, and talk about things I’m not ready to roll out yet. And as a Member you are part of helping me shape those new things. I regularly use my Member community as a sounding board for ideas I’m thinking about.

For next year, the Member content is going to be even more convenient to access. The podcast and recordings of the Zoom sessions are now available right here in the Member tab on Substack and will land in your inbox just like normal posts. And you can even listen to them as a podcast on Apple Podcasts and other platforms.

Once a year, I open up the Member program at a deep discount to the regular rate.

For a limited time only, through December 13, you can join my Member community for just $35/month on Patreon - that’s 30% off the regular $50/month price.

You can also get an even better deal by becoming a Member right here on Substack for just $360/year - 40% off the regular monthly rate.

By the way, if you become a Member, you get access to the full library of Member Zoom recordings from previous years, including our conditions of modernity course from last year and our discussion series on Life in the Negative World we’ve been doing this year.

Being a Member is the trifecta. It comes with great benefits. It’s a great community of people. And it’s a great way to support my work.

Please consider becoming a Member today.

This special offer ends December 13. Don’t miss out.
