The video of this post was an interview by Allie Stuckey of Seth Gruber. The contents of the video are characteristic of the kinds of videos on each of their YouTube sites, linked below.
I’m posting it because it is very related to the last post that focused on the David Platt scandal. During the interview, Seth Gruber mentioned numerous pastors’ names, pastors who are/were generally mistakenly thought to be sound preachers.
Stuckey and Gruber were discussing definitions that the political left redefined and persuaded evangelical pastors to take up and preach about. That is, those pastors became pawns of the left, and their congregants were the collateral damage.
Gruber mentioned a half-dozen pastor’s names, also a book by Megan Basham, Shepherds for Sale, that gets into some of the topics they are discussing.
Pastors such as Tim Keller and Matt Chandler were among the names: they are/were woke pastors.
A woke pastors may have sneaked into the church in sheep’s clothing; or may have become woke after their ministry began.
What is a “woke” pastor? A woke pastor subscribes to Cultural Marxism (CM) and mixes Marxist ideology into his sermons. He might preach on “white privilege” as though is a biblical doctrine; teachings, for example, that call white people to repent of racism.
Cultural Marxist, teachings on intersectionality and hegemony, indicate that white people are born racists because they are born into the hegemonic class. (See Categories, CRT / CT for basic definitions of CM terminology.)
None of those “Social Justice” ideas are biblical. Biblical justice is very different than social justice.
Pastors who compromise by teaching such ideas want to be trendy, politically correct, accepted, liked, etc. Do not sit under such teaching.
