Thread: The Changing Of The Guard
We are living through a strange phenomena due to evangelicalism's determination to follow (instead of lead) the culture, the result of which is a culture that is reforming and an evangelical establishment that isn't.

This disconnect is reinforced due to the evangelical establishment largely living in the urban, academic, corporate bubble the left currently occupies.
Where politics and leverage determine what people say and do, who gets promoted, and who gets cancelled.

Meanwhile the culture, having reached the bottom of the "fallacious" slippery slope, is realizing their future, represented in their children, is forever threatened by the ideological absurdities being forced upon them from the left.
As many of these folks begin to realize that the government is the way in which the left intends to enforce it's ideology upon them they will naturally begin to think through what could be a higher authority than that government, from which to appeal.
This is already happening, as a great many people are beginning to find a renewed interest in a religion of divine authority, particularly the Christian religion.

When these folks start attending church again, or perhaps for the first time, what do you think their response will be to evangelical establishment disciples offering a "lite" version of the ideologies that drove them to church in the first place?

By following an obsolete culture the evangelicalism establishment is making themselves obsolete as well.
By the time they recognize this and pivot it'll be too late. Most of their flock will have either left for someone who is leading or become apostate.

When they write their pearl-clutching fear-mongering hit pieces on Christian Nationalism they aren't wrong about one thing.
CN is most certainly a threat.
And it will continue to grow as they continue to wither and die.
The end.
