TC - Is there a Christian revival going on in America? Cliffe Knechtle would know. He’s been preaching on college campuses for 45 years.

Seems to me too in some circles there seems to be a bit of a Pagan revival too.

Is the Christian and Pagan revivals an attempt to counteract the Islam and Sikh growth to do unfettered free for all uncontrolled immigration?
 
Yeah I see that making it's rounds. I think the counter is to simple dispose of dispensationalism and reclaim Protestantism. Frustrations are connected to how Christians are an important measure of why Israel has its stranglehold on America and therefore the west.

This idea of rescuing Paganism from the dustbin of history I find rather comical yet these are secularist seeking a form of spirituality to resist nihilism.

Not just secularists. A lot of former Christians, especially young men, are becoming interested in Nordic or Celtic paganism, or even the Greco-Roman religion. Partly it's because of institutional Christianity's obsession with Zionism, but also a reaction to the New Testament's perceived "peace and love" approach to dealing with existential threats to your own tribe. The pagans were more . . . bellicose about things like that, and for young men who feel like their very civilization is under siege, I can understand the appeal.
 
@Nink If a young man's only churchgoing experience is Boomer pastors telling him to turn the other cheek, be tolerant of believers from every faith no matter how intolerant they are of him, and sacrifice his life and livelihood for Israel, then he's either going to drink the Kool-Aid or start looking for less alienating structures of belief. Some of them will look online for different, more accurate scriptural interpretations. Others will just decide that the whole religion is impotent cuckery and start searching for alternatives.

It's not really their fault.

I have never met a pastor who old me to sacrifice my life for Israel (nation-state).
If you are of Christ and believe in Christ, you have inherited the seed of Abraham and you are Israel, as are other believers in Christ. If their pastor is not helping them with that distinction then sure the pastor could be doing a better job or perhaps a new church is an order. Going to the trashcan and trying to pull out a belief system that has been alienated for thousands of years isn't going to make one whole. The notion that only this generation has been alienated is pretty ridiculous. Church is for fellowship, its the antithesis of alienation. Everyone falls short of the glory of God including the boomer pastor. If young people think they will find what they are looking from elsewhere they are surely wayward but their bitterness towards God or even older generations who pass on his teachings isn't a solution to their nihilism, it feeding into it.

In the age of instant gratification people even expect instant salvation without needing to understand what it even means.
 
I watch Cliffe's videos quite often. He's really easy to listen to. His son does some debates too, but I don't find him as compelling.

If I wanted to explain Jesus to someone who is clueless, I would probably direct them to one of Cliffe's videos.

The only thing annoying about him is he has a normie take on figures like Gandhi and Martin Luther King as well as some -ahem- historical events. I guess nobody's perfect.
 
Young men are struggling with finding suitable women. Young men observe that many of the reasons they're struggling have to do with a lack of proper morals surrounding sexual promiscuity, sex work, and gender roles. They see Christianity as supposedly enforcing the proper morals in this regard so they gravitate toward the church for these reasons. The issue of trans and its craziness also adds to the validity of Christian morals, causing further attraction to the church by young men.

Many women and some men who live a very sexual and drug party lifestyle fueled by our culture but come up short of success start to regret some of their past decisions and seekout Christianity as a means to rebrand themselves in a manner to hopefully get what they want that they were unable to get in the sex party scene.

There are some other factors at play like the government's promotion of foreign religions while oppressing Christianity. This gives credibility to Christianity to many of the conspiracy theory or anti-government types (think Q-Anon typed and people on this forum types)

Overall, this has led to a slight Christian revival.

In essence, people who realize the current thing isn't working are looking for alternative things and Christianity is now the alternative thing.
 
As the Biblical proverb says, "the parents have eaten sour grapes and the children's teeth are set on edge". Today's kids have access to a virtual candy store of hedonism and sexual indulgence, but eating the candy has made them sick and they want to try something different
