"Johnson is critical of anything that draws Gen Z.”
No, just the Emerging Church Movement, Driscollism, Jabez, The Elephant Room, Church-in-a-Pub, & other heterodox books & fads. Name one where subsequent events proved me wrong before you tag me as the Old Guy who cries Wolf.

Wokeism is a nasty religious cult. They routinely declare people guilty for the sins of others, elicit rote confessions, and refuse absolution. They have no place for forgiveness, no doctrine of atonement, and therefore no redemption, ever. Your kneeling won’t satisfy them.

I resent being kept “safe” from the virus by government mandate. I’ve been exposed to viruses all my life. Curtailing all relationships for 5 months has caused more suffering than all of them combined.

If you’re sick, by all means wear a mask & keep out of public places. Better yet, stay at home.

Some of the most virulently mean-spirited expressions of ethnic hatred I hear nowadays come from “Woke” people who aim their contempt at black conservatives, calling them coons, oreos, Uncle Ruckus, etc. And Woke evangelicals are often the first to applaud this vile abuse.

They have been conditioned by unbiblical, pragmatic ministry philosophies to regard preaching as a performance. They think the pastor’s role is merely to deliver lines.
