Four Predictions

I feel good about these.

Four Predictions

  1. All-in social justice activists will, as a general trend, eventually abandon the local church. Their reasoning will be: “The institutional Christian church has become corrupted by white supremacy and oppression such that the only moral option is to worship independently in a house church or not corporately at all.”

  2. The extreme “anti-woke” demographic of American conservatism will, as a general trend, also eventually abandon the local church. Their reasoning will be: “The institutional Christian church has become corrupted by wokeness and cultural Marxism such that the only moral option is to worship independently in a house church or not corporately at all.”

  3. These two groups will represent an exodus from local churches that is overwhelmingly white. Both the woke and the anti-woke will have spaces in higher education, politics, and media that welcome them as they leave the church. The group that will be left in most local churches will be an ethnically mixed group.

  4. Nobody in a position of power will ask what these events mean. They’ll just continue writing their takes.
