 Wokeness has infected many churches. Probably because wokeness is similar to Christianity just without any of the redemption or forgiveness or tradition etc… you know all the things that make Christianity a fundamentally good thing. 
 It is the duty of the Christian in the congregation to know the Bible and hold the pastor accountable to the Word. Solo scriptura. 
 Ya interesting. I’ve been going to a local Christian church for about a year. Overall, I like the balance they strike, but there’s some things about Christian culture that I’m not a huge fan of, but I’m new to it too 🤷 

I haven’t picked up on any wokeness though. If anything, the guys and families we’ve met are very aligned in non woke values and thinking. 
 That’s a good thing. It sounds like you’re in a good community. 
 Since the 1970s revival, western churches have elected to pander to culture while trying to balance Christian doctrine. I prefer the East.
