Exposing Harmful Fundamentalists, The Case for Optimism

Send us a text

Something’s seriously wrong with America and we all know it. What was the long path toward equality of men and women, of the races in civil rights, of religious people integrating progress into theology has faced ever-increasing headwinds. In many ways we can rejoice especially when we remember how women and minorities were treated in the 1960s and 1970s. I’ve spoken about the rise of the religious right during the late 70s and on into the Reagan era. Much of that was overt but they were operating on two levels and the groundwork was quietly being laid for the backlash we see now. It’s really coming out now in all the talk about James Dobson and John MacArthur, who recently passed away. But the dark under-belly of Doug Wilson and John Piper haven't yet received enough attention. The war on women’s rights and the subversive war on history especially the retelling of slavery and genocide have yet to be told enough. The “war on woke” and DEI are really about wrestling Christianity back to the dark-ages. The church must oppose it if it is to survive. As a favorite tiktoker of mine @ohmellyeah says “the only way is through, not around.” This is a cause for optimism.
