Wokeness Doesn’t Work — a Lesson From Disney

God ordered the world to work a certain way. He created us male and female (Genesis 1:27). He told us that marriage is between a man and a woman (Mark 10:6-7). People are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27). We are to take dominion over the earth (Genesis 1:28),and worship the Creator over the creature (Romans 1:25). Operating the way God created the world to work results in a happy, healthy fruitful society.

Trying to redefine any of these things or force the world to work a different way results in brokenness, hurt, shame and guilt, and often makes those watching it feel gross, because, well, it’s unnatural. Trying to work under philosophies God didn’t design doesn’t work. The term ‘woke’ is often used to encapsulate that philosophy, and wokeness doesn’t work.
