The White MAGA Evangelical Movement Is Utterly Depraved

 

 

The White Evangelical Movement Is Utterly Depraved — And It’s Time to Move On In this second year-end reflection, I get blunt about a lesson that’s taken years to fully grasp — but in 2025, it became undeniable: the white evangelical movement in America is utterly depraved. Not just theologically. Morally. Culturally. Publicly. From Donald Trump’s ongoing abuses to the disgraceful “revival” at Charlie Kirk’s funeral, 2025 made it crystal clear: this movement is no longer about Christ — it’s about power, whiteness, and control. And it’s dragging the name of Jesus through the mud. 🟠 Why I no longer believe the white evangelical movement is worth saving 🟠 How Christian leaders and organizations like Franklin Graham’s have lost moral credibility 🟠 Why “let he who is without sin” is not a valid defense for Christian Trumpism 🟠 Practical steps churches and believers can take to break away from the MAGA gospel 🟠 Why Turning Point USA must be countered — and what kind of youth movement we really need This is not about throwing stones. It’s about telling the truth. And it's about helping honest, Jesus-following Christians disentangle from a movement that’s become a tool of authoritarianism and white nationalism. If you’ve felt disillusioned by evangelicalism — or heartbroken by the silence of your church — this one’s for you.
