Comedian and podcast host Russell Brand shared a video on social media discussing his first week living as a baptized Christian, in which he described the reawakening he has experienced since getting baptized.
Brand started his video by showcasing a crucifix and described the “incredible” baptism he had inside of his home. He also detailed how someone attending the ceremony injured his foot and had to get hospital treatment, with Brand joking that he went right from getting baptized to living out the Christian lifestyle of helping others.
“The main thing is that since it, there’s been a different connection,” Brand said. “I do see what an amazing gift it is.”
The podcast host noted how some people will prevent others from experiencing the feeling of awakening and questioned if this form of suppression is unique to Christianity. He added that some people want others to be controlled “by their material models” instead of experiencing the feeling of awakening that Christianity offers.
