Real Talk on Religion, Awakening, and Coming Home to Truth

People aren't turning their backs on God. They're turning their backs on guilt. On fear-based theology. On the manipulation that wore a robe and called itself “truth.”

The world isn’t becoming godless. It’s becoming conscious.

And consciousness doesn’t come from being controlled —It comes from being free.

Let’s Be Real:

Jesus only went to church once… and He flipped tables.

That’s not metaphor. That’s scripture.

The one time Jesus entered the temple. He didn’t sit quietly in the pews. He overthrew the money tables. He called out religious leaders for their greed and hypocrisy. He exposed the whole performance.

That wasn’t rebellion. That was divine disruption.

The Church Wasn’t His Home — The Streets Were.

Jesus didn’t build a platform. He built people. He walked with the broken. Ate with the rejected. Spoke truth to power in sandals, not robes.

The 12 disciples? They weren’t bishops or theologians. They were fishermen. Hustlers. Misfits or what this era of society would call "thugs". And not one of them found God in a building.

They found Him in the walk. In the dirt. In the fire of their real life.

And Here’s the Part They Never Teach:

Jesus never asked to be worshipped. He asked to be followed.

He didn’t say,“ Sing to Me. ”He said, “Follow Me.”

He didn’t demand titles or tithes. He demanded action.

To love. To serve. To heal. To tell the truth even when it cost you everything.

That was the way. That is the way.

So Why Are We Still Being Told God Lives in a Box?

If Jesus walked the streets…If the prophets were called outside…If the early believers found God in wilderness and witness, not temples and titles…

Then maybe we were never meant to “go to church.” Maybe we were always meant to become it.

The Truth?

People aren’t losing faith. They’re shedding the fear they were told was faith.

We’re not anti-God. We’re anti-manipulation. We want what’s real. Not ritual. Not religion but relationship, there is a difference that most people fall to grasp. Instead of faith they follow performance.

Final Word:

Jesus didn’t sit in temples. He walked in truth. He loved out loud. He flipped what was fake .And He never asked to be worshipped—Only followed.

So when you walked away from the performance, maybe you didn’t lose your way.

Maybe you finally found the Way.
