Piper has a lot of good orthodox teaching. Not heretical by any means and I wanted to leave him off the watch list. However, Piper’s advice on how to approach the culture is well, a disaster (“seeker sensitive”). And it seems more and more his disasters were to garner favor with larger numbers of people, even if the position is approaching unorthodox.
Pipers charismatic leanings have him go sideways on his decision making. I am with Justin Peters on this one. He has staunchly defended false teachers such as Rick Warren and Mark Driscoll. The movement that has gripped his ministry is known as New Calvinism. New Calvinism is a form of seeker-friendly semi-reformed theology.
Piper is also an anti-Trumper. Christians hear me, vote for the President that best protects the right to freedom of religion. Between Trump and Biden there simply is no comparison to their religious freedom position.
Trump – Has a mean X account and false word of faith spiritual advisor.
Biden – Is literally a satan follower and anti-American globalist at war with traditional Christian values.
One of the most short sighted things I have ever seen by a Christian in my entire life is Piper giving Christians a reason to vote for Biden in an article he wrote in 2020.
For me, there are so many good Christian resources that don’t make these egregious leadership mistakes, I stopped listening to Piper.

On traditional practical things, Piper lacks cultural discernment, and worse, had poor theology on it. Watch these and you decide.
