There are numerous stark differences between modern "woke" ideology and the teachings of Jesus and His apostles.
For starters. Jesus believed in God and said God was His Father. The vast majority of woke liberals don't believe in a supreme being.
Jesus and His apostles taught the Earth was created, but woke liberals think the idea that the Earth was created is backward and unscientific. (It's actually quite scientific, whereas macroevolution is what is backward and unscientific.)
Jesus and His apostles promised He would return, i.e., the Second Coming. Woke liberals view the Second Coming as a myth.
Jesus taught that Satan is a real being and that he is a threat to all people. Every woke liberal I've encountered thinks it's silly to believe there is such a being as Satan. They've expressed the view that believing in Satan is as silly as believing in the boogey man.
Jesus believed in the Old Testament as the inspired word of God. I've never met or heard of a woke liberal who believes the Old Testament is the word of God. Every woke liberal I've encountered thinks the Old Testament is unreliable, bigoted, homophobic, etc. They think the same thing of the New Testament.
Jesus taught that marriage is only between a man and a woman. Woke leftists view this teaching as bigoted, intolerant, and homophobic.
Jesus taught that looking upon a woman other than your wife and lusting after her is sinful, which obviously makes pornography sinful. Yet, liberal groups have filed lawsuits against states that have taken modest steps to prevent minors from accessing porn sites. One woke leftist here has called those steps "nanny state." I'd bet good money that a large percentage of woke liberals view porn.
Jesus's apostles, who communicated with him in person after He was resurrected and received revelation from Him through the Holy Ghost, taught that sex before/outside marriage is a serious sin that will prevent a person from entering the kingdom of heaven. Woke liberals view this teaching as archaic and impractical.
The Apostle Paul, echoing God's teachings in the Old Testament, condemned homosexuality as unnatural and listed it among the sins that will keep people out of the kingdom of heaven. Woke liberals claim homosexuality is normal and innocent.
The Gospel of Luke says that John the Baptist "leaped for joy" in his mother's womb when Jesus's mother, Mary, greeted John's mother. This clearly implies personhood for the preborn John the Baptist. The Old Testament stresses the value of babies in the womb. Exodus 21 even says that if a man strikes a pregnant woman, even while fighting another man, and causes her to give birth prematurely (not a miscarriage, but premature birth), and thereby causes injury to the baby and/or to the mother, he is to be punished. If the baby alone is injured, the offender is to be punished. Yet, woke liberals support unrestricted elective abortion, even in the final week of pregnancy.

Is Jesus “Woke”?
Texas Lieutenant Governor candidate Matthew Dowd suggests Jesus would affirm LGBTQ “rights” and other liberal causes – a far cry from the Jesus in the Bible.

Jesus Was Not Woke — Warrior+Priest
He cared for the poor and downtrodden. But He cared for them as individuals in need of solutions to their individual problems, not as avatars of whatever identity group they happened to belong to. As humans, we possess the universal need for a savior. All have sinned. But our individual circumstance

5 Reasons Why Woke is Broke — For the Gospel
Wokeness is not surprising. It is normal behavior for a world filled with sin. But when believers begin to cave to the culture and blow over in the wind of deviant doctrine, that can be surprising — mostly, disturbing.
