In case you’ve missed the headlines this week, The Bachelorette wrapped up on Tuesday in a “shocking” two night finale.
It was a viewing extravaganza to say the least. And I, like much of America, was glued to my TV screen to watch the drama unfold.

This season has been fraught with scandals, particularly surrounding Christianity and chastity. And to say that the world has had a lot to say about it, would be an understatement.
The drama can be boiled down to this quick recap:

a) Hannah – “The Bachelorette” – is an outspoken Christian. She’s from the Bible Belt, an Alabama football fan, and very open with her sexuality. Her season of The Bachelorette can be summed up in this quote from halfway through the season: “You know what, Luke? I have had sex. And Jesus still loves me.”

b) This aforementioned, Luke, was the villain of the season. He is also an outspoken Christian. He was a womanizer in college, and decided to change his ways when he had an “encounter with God in the shower” and from then on, has been a “born-again-virgin” for the last four years. Throughout the show, he has been aggressive, — to the point of body-slamming another guy to the ground in a game, — and, in my opinion, has used his faith as a manipulation tool to win Hannah’s affection.

But what the media has really latched onto, was his final conversation before the infamous “Fantasy Suite” overnight dates. During the dinner conversation, he says, “Let’s talk about sex and how the marriage bed should be kept pure.” He continued, “Let’s say you have had sex with one or multiple of these guys, I would be wanting to go home.”
Hannah, took major offense, feeling “judged and shamed” for her actions, and then told him off, with her token, “Jesus still loves me” line, after revealing that she, quote, “F*%#ed in a windmill” — not once, but four different times. There’s a bit of a stand off between the two, there’s a literal storm raging outside with thunder and lightening, he asks to “pray over her before he leaves,” and she finally sends him home and flips him the bird as his limo drives away.

In the final episode where they bring all the contestants back on to recap the season, Luke is questioned in the hot seat for over an hour, where he says, he was there on a “rescue mission” for Hannah, and that it’s a “man’s job to guide a woman in a relationship.”
So now you’re up to speed. The entire viewing audience, as well as all the other men on the show — adamantly hated this guy. Openly. And, I can understand why — Luke was arrogant, prideful, instigative, and frankly – he gave Christianity a horrible, horrible, name.
But here’s my take:
This is reality TV, and they can edit you however they please. And at the end of the day, it’s all about ratings and viewership. And you know what made a darn good story? The “narsisstic, psychopath Christian misogynist” who was a born-again-virgin after God “spoke to him in the shower.”

So yeah, do I think that Luke has pride issues, and didn’t quite handle very well being a man of faith on a secular TV show, admittedly where sex is a huge storyline? Yeah, he’s guilty. But you know what? We all have flaws that, if put under a microscope on reality TV, producers could manipulate into any number of mental health diagnoses.
But here’s the thing. I think there’s a much, much bigger picture here that is being lost for all the minute details of this season that make headline-grabbing one-liners. And it’s the state of Christianity at large.

Hannah is being celebrated as this “new-age, feminist Christian” that is finally out of the “oppressive dark ages” of Christian thinking. She’s the face of “Woke Christianity” vs. Luke — from the “old,” misogynist, backwards-thinking, women-controlling Christianity. Hannah is the girl-power, sex-positive Christianity, that hangs out with the Jesus that smokes weed and looks like a hipster.
And that is really problematic.

Am I saying that Hannah is a “bad Christian?” Heavens no. Am I saying that Luke is a “good Christian?” Absolutely not.
Both Hannah, and Luke — along with myself and every, single person reading this article — have our areas of sin in our lives. And you know what? We are not to judge anyone else, because we’ve all got a big ol’ planks stickin’ out of our own eyeballs, for crying out loud.
But it causes concern when Hannah boldly proclaimed, “Regardless of anything that I’ve done, I can do whatever, I sin daily and Jesus still loves me…It’s all washed and if the Lord doesn’t judge me and it’s all forgiven, then no other man, woman, animal … anything can judge me.”
Because, yes — it is true that Jesus washes away our sins and has an unconditional love for us. But that doesn’t mean that we can embrace sin and knowingly and willfully continue on doing that which contradict’s God’s will.
She quoted the woman at the well in John 8:7, about Jesus declaring that the man with no sin cast the first stone. But what she left out, was that just three verses later, in 8:11, Jesus instructs the woman to “go and sin no more.”
That is the journey we are all instructed to embark upon in the Christian walk: being in the world but not of it. To die to ourselves, and to die to sin. And it’s hard, and we fall, and that’s why there’s grace. But to willfully run towards sin, instead of away from it — that’s taking advantage of His incredible gift of grace, and frankly – disregarding His command.

The bible is not a “pick and choose” buffet of morality. We cannot adhere to one thing wholeheartedly, but bypass the brussels sprouts, just because we don’t like the flavor.
That’s not how Christianity works. But that’s what this season of The Bachelorette has revealed as a glaringly problematic — and widely accepted trend — in our faith communities. I’m going to come right out and say it — people will be whole hearted believers, and live incredible, outspoken and holy lives, but when it comes to premarital sex, they want Jesus OUT of the bedroom.
Which, again — this is not coming from a place of judgement. Because Lord knows that I have so much stuff that I need work on in my own faith journey — hello, I was anorexic for 3 years and overtaken by spiritual warfare, so my past is far from clean.
But to make Hannah the poster child for this “woke Christianity” where premarital sex is celebrated and don’t you dare judge me for it — it makes me weary. Very weary.
Because at the end of the day, our relationship with Christ is not about what we can get out of it. It’s about what we can give. It’s the handing over of self to the One who gave it all on the Cross. There’s beauty in the surrender. There’s freedom. But there’s also struggle, and pain, and sacrifice.

So TLDR (Too Long, Didn’t Read) — I think that the nitty gritty drama of this season is overshadowing something far more problematic, and that is the widespread exultation of “Woke Christianity,” which — at the end of the day — is missing the entire point of our faith.
Don’t water down the Gospel just because the truth is uncomfortable and takes sacrifice and a hard look in the mirror.

When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Matthew 25:31-33 is the scripture that came to mind as I read your amazing take-away. If Hannah is the new voice for a Woke Christianity, then her followers are not listening to the right voice. A sheep knows the commands of its shepherd. I pray for Hannah to get this and realize the spotlight and microscope she is under, and turn quickly. I think the fame and fortune of this season is overtaking her. Sadly she is influencing young girls, as I talked to my young unsaved neighbor about this season. She knows my faith and was almost flaunting Hannah’s and Luke’s actions in my face. I calmly said, “sadly we are all sinners. Neither of them were listening to their support team. They went on the Bachelorette which is totally based on sex. They knew what they were getting into. It wasn’t handled well at all.”
Let’s pray in agreement for this to be Hannah’s 15 min of fame. The next show will be on and new drama can replace hers.

Hi,
Also tl;dr too 🙂
To date, I have not nor plan to watch this type of reality TV. This week is Shark Week on Discovery channel and I’d rather watch real sharks than human sharks. 🙂
That said, I’m not sure I like the whole “Woke” trend in Christianity, either. It’s one thing to be “authentic” and it’s another to air your dirty laundry or show your nasty side on national TV. I don’t know the contestants’ testimonies so can’t really judge whether they’re real or not and how much the producers prodded them to ramp up the drama. We see 45 minutes and miss the rest of the week or conversations.
As you know, we can’t ever take God’s forgiveness for granted and to see it abused on TV would be shocking to me too. The Apostle Paul said he is a sinner saved by grace, with “grace” in all caps and exclamation points. And he also knew how much that grace was: it cost Someone His life.
Sorry, didn’t mean to preach. 🙂
Have a great weekend.

Where is the gentleman? Where is the lady? Maybe this behavior gets ratings, but it also undermines the moral fiber of our society. neither one of these people acted with any grace toward the other. Sad for what it says about them; sad for what it says about us.

I just had another thought related to this.
Two friends of mine who both went to the same Christian college were talking a couple years ago about the strict rules that their school had for spending time in the opposite sex dorm, not being behind closed doors with a student of the opposite sex, stuff like that. One of my friends said that when you enroll there, you sign over your sexuality to the school.
I didn’t say anything, but that didn’t seem right to me. If you are in fact a Christian, then you have already signed over your sexuality to Jesus. Granted, I could see a student who is not a Christian saying this, but that wasn’t the case here. And I don’t think we all necessarily need to be that strict about things, but the way my friends were putting it seemed to miss the point.

I don’t have cable, and based on this post, I’m not missing much.
I am a Christian and far from perfect. But it seems in this age, people pick and choose which parts of the Bible to believe and follow, justifying their actions of wrong doing while claiming they are forgiven. Yes, we are forgiven if we only ask. But what is forgotten or dismissed is the part where we ought to resist wrongdoing again. We need to strive to be better, try not to sin. And when we do fall, merely ask for that forgiveness and we will have it. But claiming we are forgiven with no intention of trying to live the Godly lifestyle is just arrogant. And that way of thinking, of following only what suits you to follow, is why the world’s view of Christianity is getting so skewed. It is making people outside of the faith mock Christians, viewing Christians as hypocritical and causing a loss of respect for all Christians, even those that are true to the faith.

It’s interesting how people will assume they are forgiven if they sin, knowing it’s sin and presuming on God’s forbearance. The scripture in Hebrews 6:6 always stuck with me, even though the thought may be out of context, what stuck with me is that by continuing to sin, it impales Christ over again and is that how we treat his love? Granted, this is about those who leave him behind, but isn’t that what we do when we pick and choose? I don’t know, but that’s my take on it.
I don’t watch reality T.V. but, It looks and sounds as though the whole show was/is contrived to make Christians and Christianity appear ridiculous and reinforcing our growing faithless society.

Its Christians like Luke that give Christianity a bad name. However it’s Christians like Hannah that also are the polar opposite and don’t benefit either. They don’t carry their testimonies.
A part of being a Christian is having a testimony. When Christ walked the earth, he grew in favor with both God and man. This means that he had a testimony. His testimony meant that he glorified God with his life.
This whole thing about being “Woke”.. Hannah doesn’t keep in the testimony of being a good Christian.
The world loves her because she fits in with them, but what happens when someone confronts her with a serious topic of “same-sex marriages”, abortion, etc. Chances are she will compromise her Christian values and view for being on everyone’s good side.
Luke represents the other side where Christians are so judgemental, etc; when they should show mercy, grace. Luke represents what many Christians are doing and chasing people away from God.
The apostles were first called Christians on Antioch. Why? Because they represented Christ like nature. They emulated Christ. As Christians, this is what we should do – Emulate Christ.
When confronted with sin, he showed compassion, love as well as inspired those living in sin to walk in part of righteousness.
Lastly, I will say, I wish I was on the Bachelorette. Hannah missed out.. LOL.

Sister C, so…admittedly…I have absolutely NO interest in watching “The Bachelorette”. You wrote, so I came readin’. It’s just that simple. You know I support your gift.
I thought this was a really good read, and relevant to the challenges young Christians are facing today. As a married man and father of five, I personally don’t face the challenges of premarital sex, but I have sons and daughters who do. Two in particular battle this challenge constantly, and I believe many young people are walking (can I say straddling?) the line between authentic Christianity, and the New-Age fake version of Christianity with blinders on. It almost seems (to me) as if the culture has redefined what should be considered acceptable in God’s Word, and droves of people are now following that definition.
My struggle with Hannah is her behavior. I don’t want to get in trouble with that open statement, so let me explain my thought. Romans 12:2 tells me that I must renew my mind. I found long ago, when I began to open my heart to the Lord and let Him take a scalpel to it–cutting out the junk–I began to act differently; see differently; speak differently. I don’t question the love of Jesus within Hannah’s heart. I question whether or not she’s actually allowing Him to change her behaviors. Like you said, the woman caught in adultery was given a free pass (by the Lord) with the specific instruction to, “Go, but sin no more”. Flipping the bird, cussin’ folks out and continuing to engage in premarital sex openly (or privately–it doesn’t matter which) looks like a young child of God who isn’t really walking the walk she claims. As such, I think the drama between her and Luke (boy, there’s another post for another time. As a Christian man, I’ve got a lot to say about his behavior), is exactly the type of mani-stream entertainment giving Christianity a bad name.
That’s my two cents.

Hi Beautiful!! You hit it totally on the head with Christianity these days. People pick and choose and they look more for what’s entertaining about it. Yesterday a fbook post by a Bronx organization that speaks out against the massive gentrification going on there was letting people know about a large historic Catholic Church that was apparently sold and going to be the future site of more abrasive metallic $$$$$$ condo towers. I sympathized with them but offered “how was it being attended these days”? And that’s the problem. It would be nice if the denominations of the old beautiful churches could sustain every building to continually beautify every old neighborhood but if the attendance isn’t there to support it they can’t. And that’s the problem with these generations of gentrificationists, moving into NYC, Atlanta, DC everywhere. They are there for their trendy reasons, not to invest in the longtime churches that dotted the neighborhoods of Italians, Polish, Latinos, African Americans, you name it. These new generations want religion at Christmas, Easter, and MAYBE Lent. Oh and then when they have kids of their own, they get them the sacraments and then aren’t seen either til the next sacrament or the following Christmas or Lent/Easter. Their faith is only as much as it suits them.

I actually enjoyed your post on, “Woke” Christianity & The Bachelorette,” guess I’m the only one in America who wasn’t watching Luke and Hannah that night. Trying to live a faithful Christian life is hard enough in everyday life and then throw television in the mix that seems next to impossible to me. My heart goes out to them no matter how you look at it. Cause no matter what they do or say- they’re being judged,right or wrong, good, bad or indifferent. Hopefully, they’re light is shinning brightly for Christ! Living saved, is difficult for most people even with a little faith.Perhaps, they’re faith is strong – super strong – like mountain moving strong, They are heroic people, much better than I, and my heart goes out to both of them and my prayers too. Thank you, great post. If it wasn’t for your post I would have missed Hannah, Luke and “Woke” Christianity and The Bachelorette, Thanks, for a truthful and eye-opening post.
P.S. and while I’m here, let me thank you, for liking one of my posts on the Great Suffering to come on the earth soon. We should pray against it damaging effects. Thank you,
