This is Karen Hunter and welcome to the hub. Welcome to another edition of unlocking astrology with the unlocker himself, the man that has the keys, Mr. Samuel Reynolds.

Oh, right, thank you. So before I hit record you asked me a question. I asked you yeah. I was like,

where are you in relation to Christianity? Are you a Christian? Are Are you Christian? Yeah. And I said let's answer this because everything that this is to me is about the transparency. We're not doing a shell. We're not sitting here and the only not the the reason why I feel it's important for us to have this

conversation is the answer that I'm about to give you. Where am I with religion? I said I follow the teachings of Christ. And I put a hard tea on the end of it. And what does that mean for me? Well, you know, I study, I've read the Bible,

I used to teach the Bible, I was part of what people thought was a cult

at some point where I would have church every day.

You know, Wednesday, Bible study, we have lessons, we have tests, I mean it was intense, we would go out and preach the Bible, you know, give people, you know, because the great commission goes tells you to go out and

you know, and so we followed a great commission, got people baptized, and at some point I was like I see people you know get emotional about being

baptized and then several weeks they've fallen away and they kept trying to push me

into leadership because my personality I was like yeah but Christ wasn't really about that hierarchy thing and what gives you the right to be in that position and what gives you the right to tell me I should be in that position you know I'm just a servant I just want to be a servant you know and then they were like trying to you know doing a so I had to ask the pastor this question as to do you are telling people the only way to get to heaven is through this church so anybody that's not in this church they're going to hell.

I already knew the answer to that. So anybody that's not in this church, they're going to hell?

I already knew the answer to that. I needed to hear him say it.

And based on how he answered would determine

what I would do next.

And actually, there was only a wrong answer

because if he said yes, I was leaving and if he said no, I was leaving because now you're a liar.

I left on the answer that I knew he was going to give me. Either way way it was the wrong answer because what I discovered

in reading and much and I don't want to say much the way Nat Turner read that Bible and saw different things

because this is really this thing that you and I are doing. Every week, you know, for me, the goal is self-discovery. The answer this question, why am I here? And what my conclusion is that I'm here to be a better person, but how am I a better person through other people through through

not inspiring but through discovering myself through other people through my relationship with other people.

And that means that love thing that Jesus came here with,

you know, feeding 5,000, chilling.
