My husband has perfected grilled steak. I would seriously choose his steak over any expensive steak house. His secret? Lots of good salt. Pink Himalayan salt is the best and he uses it liberally on his steaks. The purpose of salt is not to make something salty, but to bring...

Comedian and podcast host Russell Brand recently reflected on three months since converting to Christianity and the challenge of feeling like Jesus Christ is far away. "I've been a Christian now for three months," he began in a TikTok video posted this week. "Sometimes I find it quite difficult; what I mean by that is that I feel like Christ is far away. I don't feel the intimate connection of Christ."

"Dear brothers and sisters, when I was with you, I couldn't talk to you as I would to spiritual people. I had to talk as though you belonged to this world or as though you were infants in Christ. I had to feed you with milk, not with solid food, because you weren't ready for anything stronger. And you still aren't ready, for you are still controlled by your sinful nature. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Doesn't that prove you are controlled by your sinful nature? Aren't you living like people of the world?" Russell Brand Leans On His Faith Brand then said how he heard in church on Sunday about God's continued work even when one cannot feel His presence. "Even when I can't feel God, God is working on me," Brand said. "God is working me into the shape He needs me to be in." He then asked his viewers, "How do you cope when you feel that you're not close to Christ?" "Surely there's more to this than just feeling okay," he added. "If you wanna feel okay, drink a bunch, or take a bunch of drugs, or eat a load of candy for temporality at least. That will offer you some sort of salve of at least distraction."

In a recent interview with Neil Oliver posted to X, Brand says he is in the "business of serving Jesus Christ." "In surrendering to Christ, there is something extraordinary about saying there is this man, another man, entirely God, entirely man. But through some necessary, extraordinary, metaphysical act just beyond the edge of rational understanding, the Creator of this simulation came into the simulation and told us, ‘Hello, I am God. I've come here. Here are some virtues and values,'" Brand said.

Lewis. "C.S. Lewis talks about the ‘stoics era'... to imagine that one might be able to do always what one can do sometimes. You know, there are times where it's like ... ‘I am not in the business of Russell Brand anymore,'" Brand said.
