Concerned Bros Are Losing Young White Christian Men

You love to see it.

These people are losing their grip over our churches. I see it every day.

Christ Over All:

“When temptation arrives, it rarely announces itself. Instead, it speaks like a familiar friend. It preys on our vanity, arrogance, and curiosity—buttons it knows how to push only too well.

The tweet quoted above was my temptation, posted by an acquaintance early in 2024. As the host of a podcast, I was confident the tweet wasn’t referencing my show. Instead, it referred to a podcast whose name you might not know, though you’ve felt its impact: Stone Choir.

What unfolded over the following months would become one of the most humbling and sanctifying episodes of my life and career. Only by God’s mercy and grace does anyone care what I have to say today.

I have nothing to offer God that can express my gratitude to Him. Only a willingness to share the story in the prayer that it may help fathers and faith leaders rescue other young men from a soul-destroying web of online associations.

Before the Lord has to. …

I was also raised in a Reformed Jewish family. Reformed Jews are largely liberal, atheist, and ritualistic. So my family did all the Jewish things: Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services at Phoenix Symphony Hall, Passover Seders sung in Hebrew, and I was Bar-Mitzvah’d at age 13. …

Thankfully, pastors aren’t alone in this fight. Influencers are battling it on X and YouTube. Even President Donald Trump’s administration is grappling with right-wing factions that are vocal in their hatred for Israel. They appear determined to crack MAGA from within, using “the Jews” as a wedge.

This is the information war being waged in America and the church. Left-wing extremism lost in the 2024 election, at least for now. Right-wing extremism in the anti-Semitic Neo Nazi narrative has taken its place. Its voices are smooth, its historical views are sophisticated, and its future vision is seductive—with promises of masculine power, vindication, and triumph. …”

Hardly a day goes by in which online atheists and pagans do not point to the James Whites of the world to attack Christians. They conflate postwar American Boomer Christianity with its peculiar beliefs about race, Dispensationalism and “Judeo-Christianity” with the entire history of Christianity. The truth is that this garbage swept into the church with the help of 20th century mass media technologies – radio, film, television – and it is being swept out of it now by the smartphone and internet.

Note: Rod Dreher whining about the growing influence of the “Woke Right” is another example of this trend.

  1. “Love to see it.” Amen brother, amen! I’m a member of an independent Southern Baptist church and in my small group (6 couples) everyone is awake to these very issues. I’ve been saying it for some time, there is a revival and shift that I can clearly see here in the Protestant South. Love to see it indeed! We need to keep it up and we have a real chance. Hopefully that eventually leads to a secession 2.0. Christ is King. Deo Vindice.

  2. Don’t make the mistake of imagining that all Boomers are Christian Fundamentalists. I am not a Fundamentalist and I can’t imagine a potential member of my church being subjected to such an interrogation. Don’t confuse Boomers with some holy-rolly fundamentalist preacher-man. Quite frankly I can’t imagine most Fundamentalist preachers subjecting a potential member to such an interrogation- If you encounter one, run from his office like your hair was on fire!

  3. Young families are where church’s grow,

    I grew up in an Evangelical independent, Methodist/Wesley Church theocracy!

    Fire and Brimstone!

    Win! pagan girl win!

    Let the Meek inherit the Earth!

  4. Boomers are the WORST. The Deluded generation. We X’ers were exposed to even more propaganda, but somehow, we saw through it.

  5. I’m not interested in “sin” or your opinion of “sin”, that’s the big change that I see coming to Protestantism in the US. Salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ, not through faith in “sin”. Let the Catholics and the “Christian” preachers be concerned with “sin”, let us Protestants be concerned with faith in Jesus Christ.

  6. A lot of these Boomer Christians do offer us neopagans easy pickings. They represent the worst aspects of Christianity so well. Thankfully, that form of Christianity is dying.
