The Fall of New Calvinism: Father Hunger, Brands, and Lost Standards

Let's dive into the dramatic rise and fall of New Calvinism (the Young, Restless, and Reformed) movement that once captivated a generation of evangelical men seeking doctrinal depth and masculine leadership.

We'll look at "father hunger," the shift from solid theology to holistic lifestyle brands, and the erosion of standards amid scandals, shifting labels, and online tribalism.

We will examine how unmet expectations and betrayals propelled many former adherents toward bitterness, the manosphere, and edgier political fringes.

We will highlight enduring biblical virtue, local roots, and direct dependence on Christ rather than celebrity pastors or fleeting cultural formulas.
