This is the kind of spiritual detox that should come with incense, confetti, and a therapist on standby.

I stopped trying to be palatable the moment I realized the Divine doesn’t need my performance, just my presence. You nailed it. Half of “Christian life” was me pretending to feel something that wasn’t even mine. Once I let go of the script, I met God in the quiet. No sermon. No Spotify worship playlist. No “hedge of protection” required.

Your list isn’t just deconstruction. It’s resurrection. And not the “believe this or burn” kind. The real kind. The kind that says, “Here I am, as I am, and that’s holy enough.”

Thank you for making space for wandering saints and sacred misfits.

On Christianese Jargon—”I sometimes wonder if anyone really knows what this jargon actually means”— this rings SO true to my own lived experience. I'm pretty sure everyone has different and incompatible mental models of what these terms mean to them personally, but nobody really knows or wants to admit it.
