The Rise & Fall of New Calvinism: Why the "Young, Restless, and Reformed" Fractured

What happened to the "Young, Restless, and Reformed"? For two decades, New Calvinism dominated the evangelical landscape, fueled by the internet, massive conferences like T4G, and a hunger for serious theology. But today, the coalition has fractured.This episode offers a sociological and theological autopsy of the movement. We discuss:• The Vacuum: Why Gen X and Millennials fled "cool" Christianity for the "Frozen Chosen".• The Architecture: How the movement prioritized "Gospel-Centered" unity over Confessional robustness, and why that eventually led to its undoing.• The Culture: The problem of "Free Agent" Christians, celebrity pastors, and the displacement of the local church.• The End: From the fall of Mark Driscoll to the "woke" wars—tracing the timeline of fragmentation.Join us as we ask: Did the YRR movement succeed in recovering the "full gospel," or did it leave us with a library of books but a legacy of broken institutions?Sources referenced:• "The Unfinished Reformation" Report• Analysis of the "Young, Restless, and Reformed"• Critiques of "Theological Triage" and Parachurch ministries
