Evangelicalism and Christian Nationalism are becoming more married to each other by the day.

Just a reminder to people that Jesus never sought earthly power. When Satan tempted him in the wilderness, he told him to get lost.

Jesus turned down political power. What I am seeing play out in NB and across Canada is the US religion/political ideation becoming more mainstream among the evangelicals.

I don't know if the average NBer is noticing the the shift, but it does not help that our @pcnbca government has embraced fanaticals.

Over the course of my lifelong evangelical experience, I watched church leaders teach kids to ignore their gut. That the feeling of something being off was to be ignored. In fact, it was the voice of "the enemy," persuading you to not trust your spiritual authority. Your leaders were not required to earn your trust or make the space safe. You were the problem and it was because you let the enemy into your heart and mind.

They used this to ask intrusive questions. They wanted to know your sin nature so they could coach you.

For a long time, I chocked my Long COVID up to burnout. Being a nurse in a leadership role was exhausting, coupled with a toxic community of ppl who called themselves friends= perfect recipe.

The exhaustion never left. Then the other symptoms started. I was off work for 5 months. Going to counselling and seeing an OT for my cognitive challenges. Diagnosed with ADHD, started vyvanse and was able to do a gradual return to work. My concentration was shot. My memory was now terrible. My once so capable brain was not familiar now.
