The regime approved evangelical response to wokeness was to channel it into enthusiasm for liberalism.
This is part of the reason I’ve said for years guys like AD Robles and I are never, and will never be, invited to the cool kids table of anti-wokeness.
We were both early. We’re both relatively young. We both wrote books about the subject that came out early and made piercing critiques of what was happening.
But, we were not atheists touting liberalism. We were not members of Greear’s church who defended the worst traffickers of wokeness in the SBC. We didn’t write books critiquing wokeness that extolled the virtues of the civil rights movement as the “Christian” alternative.
We defended statues, we attacked same sex attraction, we wanted cultural Christianity. We didn’t think soft complementarianism was the right approach. We weren’t assuming everything told to us by modern liberals about history was correct.
More could be said.
It doesn’t bother me for myself. I’m frankly relieved that I haven’t been invited to the big Whig anti-woke gatherings etc. even though a lot of those guys will talk to me behind the scenes. Knowing me I’d say yes and it’s not my thing. I probably wouldn’t enjoy it.
But, I think it’s worth stating that this is the way it’s been since 2019 at least- and I think I can speak for AD here- we’ve had a ball and still are.
