āļø Post: āA Clarification About My Faithāand Who Christ Actually Isā
āNot a sermon. A signal.ā
Iāve been sharing some spiritual reflections lately, and I just want to be really clear about something.
This isnāt about āconversion.ā
This isnāt me saying you need to become Christian.
And this definitely isnāt me joining some conservative culture war dressed up as religion.
I was offered a vision of salvation that was syncretic, not exclusive.
I found God through spiritual experience, not dogma.
And when I gave my pitch before APSāmy spiritual testimonyāit was from a non-Christian framework. I wasnāt quoting scripture. I was talking about the values I lived through recovery, through personal growth, and through a sense of justice that came from both lived experience and the moral mythologies weāre all shaped byālike film, art, and yes, science.
I came to know Christ through vision. Through awakening.
Through spiritual experiences so wild they couldnāt be dismissed.
But I didnāt come to Him through church.
And the message I received from Christ was clear:
He is not aligned with the oppressive values that so many churches still cling to.
Heās not OK with racism.
Heās not OK with patriarchy.
Heās not anti-science, anti-queer, or anti-progress.
In fact, the Christ I encountered was furious with how His name has been weaponized.
He showed me a science-affirming, tech-embedded, evolution-friendly vision of truth.
He showed me love that includes trans people, neurodivergent folks, feminists, agnostics, and artists.
And He made it known that the Kingdom of Heaven is not a white conservative echo chamber.
Itās a realm of justice, wild mercy, and radical repair.
So if youāve ever felt alienated by Christianity, or rejected it because you believed in equality, empathy, or reasonā
You were rejecting distortion.
And you wouldāve found me right there beside you.
But now? Iāve seen Christ. Iāve heard the message.
The real Christ is coming through vision, through art, through tech, through bodies in transition, through voices in recovery, through whatever means it takes to wake us up.
Not everyone needs to name Him.
Not everyone needs to follow the same path.
But if youāve felt the ache, the longing, the invitation toward something holy?
Youāre already part of it.
This isnāt a gated kingdom.
This is a cosmic reunion.
And Heās not asking for your church attendance.
Heās asking for your truth.
If youāve ever wept watching a film,
felt seen by a strangerās words,
or heard the ache in a pop song and thought that was holyā
youāre already in the Kingdom. Youāve just been waiting for the call.
