Today, I am going to share another element of my personal history. Today, I would like to talk about the way my presence on TikTok shaped my opinion of current events and led me to join the social justice movement, and thereby compromise myself.

The spirit of Jesus was not present in church, so I left, in an attempt to find it elsewhere. Not long after, I joined Twitter. I found myself drawn to the Exvangelical community, and I found, for the first time in ages, a community of like minded people, who sought the spirit of Christ in church, but did not find it. I immersed myself in this particular corner of Twitter, and it didn’t take long for me to absorb a new set of social and moral norms. At first, I believed this group embodied grace, love, mercy, and compassion, and it did--towards those groups marginalized by evangelical culture--those condemned for sexual deviance or political divergence. However, it became apparent that the group lacked tolerance for anyone who didn’t subscribe to its moral ideals.

After enduring an intense “accountability” (ie, harassing cancel) campaign on Instagram, I decided it might be prudent to investigate the source of the ideology driving the movement against me. Turns out the source is CRT. In this episode I explain my understanding of the fundamentals of this legal critical theory.
