Alpha Jesus and the Bro-ing of the American Church

from Complexified · host Institute of Religion Politics and Culture, Amanda Henderson, Iliff School of Theology

Katelyn Beaty, author and co-host of Saved by the City, joins to examine the striking gender shift in evangelical churches, where Gen Z men now outnumber women in the pews. Beaty explores how pastors are adopting hyper-masculine tactics, from Monster Truck-style events to “Indiana Jesus,” to appeal to men seeking structure and belonging. Meanwhile, young women are walking away, rejecting spaces that feel increasingly shaped by political polarization and outdated gender roles. Learn more about your ad choices.
