American Evangelicalism Is Dead

American evangelicalism is at a crossroads, and many churches are still acting like nothing has changed. But it has. Dramatically. In this video, we take an honest look at why American evangelicalism is losing ground in the United States and why younger generations are not simply “back seat Christians” like many of their parents were.

For decades, evangelical Christianity thrived on cultural momentum. Church attendance was expected. Christian language shaped politics, media, and social norms. Faith was inherited more than examined. But that world no longer exists. Millennials and Gen Z are growing up in a completely different landscape, and they are not interested in passive belief, inherited tradition, or Christianity that feels shallow, performative, or politically co-opted.

Young people today are asking harder questions. They are reading Scripture for themselves. They are interrogating theology, church history, power structures, and hypocrisy. They are deeply aware of institutional failures, scandals, and moral contradictions within evangelical spaces. Many are walking away not because they hate Jesus, but because they feel the church no longer resembles Him.

This video explores why the old evangelical model is collapsing in real time. Mega-church branding, celebrity pastors, watered-down sermons, and culture-war Christianity are not resonating with a generation that craves authenticity, depth, and integrity. Younger Christians are not content to sit quietly in the pews while difficult questions are avoided. They want substance over slogans, truth over comfort, and faith that actually transforms lives rather than reinforces social identity.

At the same time, this is not simply a story of decline. It is a story of transition. The Christian scene in America is changing, not disappearing. House churches, liturgical renewal, theological seriousness, spiritual discipline, and communities rooted in real accountability are growing quietly beneath the surface. Many young believers are rejecting evangelicalism as a brand while rediscovering historic Christianity, ancient practices, and a faith that demands something real from them.

Churches that refuse to adapt will continue to empty out. Churches that listen, repent, and recover theological depth may find new life. This video challenges pastors, leaders, and believers to recognize the shift already happening. The question is no longer whether evangelicalism is dying. The question is whether the church is willing to change before it becomes irrelevant.

If you are noticing the cracks, feeling disillusioned, or sensing that something is deeply off in modern American Christianity, you are not alone. This conversation is already happening. It is time to stop pretending otherwise.

Watch, reflect, and join the discussion.

What does the term actually mean?
Is it a faithful application of Christian values to public life, or a dangerous distortion of the gospel?
Is it biblical, political, cultural, or something else entirely?

In this live conversation, several Christians from different theological and cultural backgrounds come together to wrestle honestly with the question of Christian nationalism and its place in society today. This is not a scripted debate and not a soundbite-driven shouting match. It’s a real discussion between believers who care deeply about Scripture, history, power, authority, and the future of the Church.

Christian nationalism has become a flashpoint in American culture. For some, it represents a call to reclaim Christian moral foundations in a nation that was historically shaped by biblical values. For others, it’s a warning sign of conflating the kingdom of God with political power and national identity. Tonight, we won’t dodge the hard questions.

We’ll discuss:
• What people actually mean when they say “Christian nationalism”
• Whether Scripture supports or rejects the idea
• The difference between Christian influence and Christian control
• The role of the Church versus the role of the State
• Whether Christians should seek political dominance or faithful witness
• How history, empire, and power have shaped Christian thought
• Where patriotism ends and idolatry begins
• Whether Jesus’ kingdom was ever meant to be national

This conversation matters because Christians are being forced to choose sides without being given space to think biblically. Labels are being weaponized. Motives are being assumed. And too often, nuance is sacrificed for outrage.

Our goal is not to tell you what to think — but to give you the tools to think clearly, critically, and biblically.

Whether you’re concerned about rising nationalism, frustrated with secularism, confused by the media narrative, or simply trying to follow Christ faithfully in a polarized world, this discussion is for you.

Join us live, bring your questions, and engage in the chat. This is one of those conversations the Church needs to have out loud.
