I am preaching through the Gospel of Mark this year and I am up to chapter 13 where Jesus turns on the doom and gloom. Many people have been told that this is about our time (currentist) or about the near future (futurist) but do not know about the preterist perspective that everything that Jesus was predicting about actually happened in the first century.
I made this short video about my plan to address it in my sermon:

OMG! We used to sing that song, too. We actually played a “game” about what we would do in the end times when Christianity was outlawed. It’s a wonder I’m not in therapy; the fear was very real.

I keep thinking about this comment :). I almost wish we could form a ‘support group’

I think I need one! It’s funny, when I first left the church I was very angry, but then sort of just got over it and went on with my life. I find myself getting angry again now, no doubt fueled by the rise in Christian nationalism. All the bs is crashing down on me again. I was taught such a lot of garbage. I think I need to find a way to heal.
