“Too Busy with Woke Stuff”| Megan Basham

6 days ago | americanreformer.org | Megan Basham

In 1993, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (or as it was then known, the Christian Life Commission) helped engineer a piece of legislation that had not only Southern Baptists, but religious Americans of all stripes, cheering.
Rome’s Strategic Play for Protestant Elites

1 week ago | americanreformer.org | Aaron M. Renn

Catholicism, and increasingly Eastern Orthodoxy, seems to have an appeal for a segment of highly educated and ambitious evangelicals. JD Vance, whose conversion to Catholicism I previously wrote about, is an example. The sociologist Brad Vermurlen, who wrote the definitive account of the evangelical New Calvinism movement, also appears to be in the process of converting to Catholicism. What’s going on here? First, it’s worth noting that Catholic conversions are primarily an elite phenomenon.
Trump’s Courageous Gamble on Trade | Mike Sabo

Members of the old guard conservative movement are still pledging their fealty to the stale economic pieties of the pre-Trump Republican Party. Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts ignited the wrath of this clique after announcing his support of the principal aims of President Trump’s trade policies, including the deployment of tariffs to counter the unfair trading practices of countries like China.

The political wins on abortion are not letting up. Christians who voted for the Trump/Vance ticket are being rewarded for their selection in real time. The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday afternoon that the Trump administration will be freezing $120 million in federal family-planning grants (the Department of Health and Human Services will freeze $27.5 million immediately) to organizations that may have used those funds to advance DEI, or diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The Age of Alignment Is Upon Us | Mike Sabo

It’s no longer 2015, and right-leaning Christians must act accordingly. For at least the past two decades, one of the tendencies I’ve seen on the Christian Right is a search for purity in pastors, churches, institutions, and parachurch ministries. I’m not referring to the purity culture of the late 20th century.

The Russia-Ukraine War could be wrapping up much more quickly than the experts had predicted. Talks between the United States and Ukraine, which are being hosted by Saudi Arabia, have already achieved positive results.
The Media in the Age of Trump | Mike Sabo

Somehow, the media still don’t realize they’re locked into a nosedive of their own making. Historically, the American media has always been politically partisan to some extent—the myth of “neutrality” that was especially prevalent in the mid-20th century was just that, a myth. But over the last half of the 20th century and into the 21st, they have become phalanxes for a ruling class that’s elevated their own interests above those of American citizens.
Saddleback Sarah and Managerial Christianity | J. Chase Davis

1 month ago | americanreformer.org | J. Chase Davis

For many decades, evangelical churches in America, most of whom would be classified as Protestant and Baptist, even while they shirk those labels for something like non-denominational, have been living under the guiding hand of managerialism. No generation perfected this art better than the boomer seeker-sensitive pastors. These were pastors who turned the church corporate. While they maintained airs of biblical authority, they also made the ministry a market commodity.
Principles First, America Last | Mike Sabo

A gathering last weekend in our nation’s capital is yet more evidence that fanaticism, dogmatism, and leader worship are a big draw in American politics. However, I’m not referring to Donald Trump’s “MAGA Republican extremists,” to use President Biden’s shameful term for Americans who support the president.
