I feel like people are forgetting that John Piper was the guy who told an entire generation of evangelicals to pursue lives opposed to the American Dream.
Opposing the guy who& #39;s promising it to evangelicals is pretty on brand for him, tbh.
Like, we do remember that he& #39;s come out against spending one& #39;s life playing golf & picking up seashells on the beach, right?
Piper has always been outspoken about cultural issues, but the difference btwn him & othet conservative evangelical leaders is that his core message never rested on reclaiming America.
And this may be the real divide among conservative evangelicals: To what degree is your conservatism a means of securing the American Dream?
Piper has always said that pursuing the American Dream is a waste of a life. It& #39;s no surprise that he& #39;s not going to exchange his vote for it now.
Or even the promise of it.
