Gen Z men are not wrong to believe in a contested world, writes @Luke_Simon7. But they’ve misidentified the villain. christianitytoday.com/2025/12/a-chri…

Our reckoning with purity culture is “good and necessary,” writes @Luke_Simon7. “But I fear that in the process of tearing down purity culture, we may have kissed purity itself goodbye. And that’s a problem.” christianitytoday.com/2025/11/bring-…

We don’t need pledges or rose metaphors. We do need more reverence and restraint. My newest @CTmagazine christianitytoday.com/2025/11/bring-…

“Some of the manosphere messages are good…A world where more men took responsibility for what’s within reach—their bodies, their work, their families—would be a better one. But the gospel of the manosphere is still incomplete.” christianitytoday.com/2025/10/manosp…

Charlie Kirk didn’t hedge or soften his positions to broaden appeal; he underlined them. That’s why he landed with Gen Z men, argues Luke Simon. christianitytoday.com/2025/09/why-ch…

“I’m concerned about Zyn,” writes @Luke_Simon7. “It may be healthier for the body compared to cigarettes and vapes, but it can be far more lethal for the soul.” christianitytoday.com/2025/07/have-m…

Newest piece @CTmagazine The nicotine pouch is popular with Gen Z men like me. That’s a problem for not just our bodies but also our souls. christianitytoday.com/2025/07/have-m…

This is an insightful look from @Luke_Simon7 at the gender divide in debates and discussions on worship. A caveat: by numbers not stories, the traffic still tilts (women AND men) toward the more charismatic expressive traditions, not the liturgical. christianitytoday.com/2025/05/gen-z-…

The worship wars of the next generation may be defined by gender (and gendered interests) more than theology or taste. @Luke_Simon7 offers a fascinating perspective on when Gen Z men & women are going to different churches on @CTmagazine: christianitytoday.com/2025/05/gen-z-…

Gen Z is among the least churched generations in America, but zoomers who are in the church are quietly steering its worship in two directions at once, writes @Luke_Simon7. christianitytoday.com/2025/05/gen-z-…

My newest piece @CTmagazine Gen Z is quietly reshaping church worship—young men gravitating toward tradition and liturgy, young women toward CCM—revealing a growing gender divide shaped by algorithms, values, and spiritual expression. christianitytoday.com/2025/05/gen-z-…
