Evangelism Hammertime: The bareknuckle desperation of the Southern Baptist Convention

Evangelicals like to pretend that evangelism is just a formality they perform. They think their god strong-arms people into belief, merely utilizing the evangelist as a conduit. But nothing could be further from the truth, as one denomination reveals in a lengthy writeup. Southern Baptists talk a big game about Read more

That ‘Bless Every Home’ evangelism app is still creepy

Back in the heady days of 2021, I wrote about an evangelism app (archive) called ‘Bless Every Home.’ It was creepy sounding even then. Well, it’s back in the news. And somehow, it sounds even worse now. (This post ran as a BONUS ROUND for the SBC abuse investigation post. Read more

Very quickly, Scroggins recognized that he needed an evangelism method that was fast, simple, and most of all effective against his target recruitment market.

Evangelicals offer wrong answers only to Gen Z concerns

Last week, I introduced you to a real live ‘Gen Z expert,’ Tanita Maddox. As I noted at the time, Maddox has been very busy writing articles and recording videos about her subject matter for other evangelicals, who apparently know absolutely no Gen Z people. One of her articles of Read more

Evangelicals think they know how to reach Gen Z (oh, and Alpha too) at last

In recent years, we’ve talked a lot about evangelicals’ utter inability to appeal to Gen Z. But the latest approach I saw at Christian Post (archive) might take the cake for potential hilarity. Opinion post writer Tanita Tualla Maddox has made a few suggestions that sound like they will backfire catastrophically Read more

The 4-14 Window is Christianity’s demographic time bomb

One doesn’t hear the phrase quite as often these days, but the 4-14 Window might be one of the things Christian leaders fear most. It refers to children’s ages, you see. If Christians can’t get a child between those ages decently-well indoctrinated, then the chances are good that that child Read more

Evangelicals trying to teach other evangelicals how to talk to atheists will never be not-funny

Evangelicals have zero clue how to approach atheists. That’s just the facts, ma’am. Last time we met up, we talked about evangelicals’ weird redefinitions of atheism. With those redefinitions, they create a strawman caricature of atheists, which they have a much easier time dismantling and defeating. Today, I want to Read more

Heard this joke yet? An evangelical asks why evangelicals are ‘so bad at evangelism’

Earlier today, I got a good laugh out of this post about evangelism from Relevant (a website/magazine site aimed squarely at Millennials). In it, Richard Coekin pretends to ask why that site’s readers are “so bad at evangelism.” The answers he offers for his strawman questions reveal that evangelicals aren’t Read more

The unchanging face of evangelical evangelism in 2023

Evangelism, or evangelical recruitment, isn’t doing very well these days. When you read between the lines of their supposed success stories, you discover that very few people who weren’t already Christian are joining their churches. Worse, even fewer people who weren’t already baptized seek baptism from them. But evangelicals don’t Read more

How and why predatory evangelism works

Last time we met up, I briefly mentioned an instance of truly predatory evangelism. Someone on the r/TrueChristian subreddit had tangled with what sounds like the slimiest evangelist in a pack of overqualified contenders. And our OP still has no idea in the world why this slimy recruiter is acting Read more
