Yeah, you can go in front of these charismatic churches and testify and tell the whole congregation your struggles. Oh, yeah. And why are you coming to God? Why have you found Jesus? I've crossed the border. I've done this. I've struggled with addiction and now I'm here. And you can lay it all out there. Don't feel you're being judged.

You may have heard Jesus as this humble carpenter who is with the poor, and that's what the text says. All of a sudden he's transformed into Jesus can be a self-help guru where he can give you financial tips. You know, the prosperity gospel, Jesus has turned into a crypto bro. He can give you stock tips in certain cases. That's a very American thing.
