So many christian leaders I know are far too binary in their approach to culture. Either a cultural fad is the greatest, or it's dumb.
Take Marie Kondo for example. Of course the joy matrix is taken to far and also undershirts don't have souls.

BUT what Kondo does contribute is a check to our disposable and careless way of life. Her approach forces you to treat your possessions (over which we are stewards) with intentionality rather than carelessness.
Apply this to other things: Beyonce, Black Panther, Tim Tebow, whatever. We either buy in wholesale or write it off with a sneer.
But increasingly I'm feeling like hot-take correction culture is not only unbecoming of a Christian but flows from a mistrust of the Spirit.

If people engaging with something we dislike for reasons related to cultural inertia triggers a kind of immediate and visceral pushback, we don't trust the spirit to work in that person through common grace
MAYBE Kondo's order-centric approach to managing chaos is exactly what God wants to show that person in that moment.
It's one thing to warn, but the articles my camp writes are too often meant to warn people off of something, not simply help them be more sober-minded.
