The Disruptive Savior: Jesus Violates My Expectations

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Jesus,

Today, You violated my expectations. Again.

And honestly? It wrecked me—in the best way.

I came to You with a plan. A perfect little picture of how I thought You would move. I had it all laid out: the timeline, the method, the outcome. I expected peace in the waiting, healing on my terms, breakthrough in a way that made sense to me.

But You didn’t follow my script. You never do.

And that’s what makes You God.

I used to think that faith meant expecting You to move in a certain way. Now I’m learning that faith is surrendering all my expectations and trusting You to move however You want—even if it’s weird, uncomfortable, or completely opposite of what I had in mind.

Your ways are not my ways. (Isaiah 55:8)

And thank God for that.

I think about the blind man in John 9. You could’ve just said the word and healed him. You have done that before. But instead, You spit in the dirt, made mud, and smeared it on his eyes. That’s not clean. That’s not sanitary. That’s definitely not what anyone was expecting.

“Having said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. ‘Go,’ He told him, ‘wash in the Pool of Siloam.’ So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.” — John 9:6–7 (NIV)

I mean… really? Mud? Spit?

But that’s the thing. You don’t need to meet our expectations. We’re the ones who need to adjust to Yours.

And You’re not inconsistent. You’re just obedient to the Father’s will. That’s Your only consistency—total surrender to the will of God.

So why do I still act shocked when You move in a way I didn’t expect?

Why do I question Your love just because You didn’t answer how I prayed? Why do I think You’ve abandoned me just because the healing hasn’t come the way I pictured? Why do I think delay means denial?

The truth is, You’ve never failed me. Not once. But sometimes You love me too much to meet the expectations I put on You. Sometimes You intentionally violate my comfort zone to build real faith—not the kind that works when life is cute and convenient, but the kind that stands when nothing makes sense.

That’s the kind of faith I want.

Jesus, confront me. Offend my logic. Violate my false beliefs. Expose every place where I’ve boxed You in.

Because I don’t want a tame God. I want the real You.

I want the Jesus who flips tables.
The Jesus who eats with sinners.
The Jesus who doesn’t fit into any of the categories we try to place You in.
The Jesus who saves with blood, not politics.
The Jesus who washes feet but holds all power.
The Jesus who disrupts my comfort so I’ll depend on grace.

You are not predictable—but You are trustworthy.

And I know I’ve been guilty of trying to domesticate You. I’ve begged You to fit into my plans. I’ve expected blessing without pruning, glory without obedience, and miracles without submission.

But today, I lay that down.

All of it.

I don’t need a Jesus who obeys me—I need to obey You.
I don’t need a Savior who plays by my rules—I need one who saves me from myself.
And You do that. Every day.

So please, Jesus, violate my expectations. Shatter them if You have to.

If You need to spit in the dirt and smear it in my eyes so I can finally see, then do it.

If You need to let me sit in a season of silence so I can hear You clearly again, I’m here for it.

If You need to deny me what I think I want so You can give me what I really need, then so be it.

Because faith isn’t about control. It’s about surrender.
It’s not about understanding every step—it’s about trusting the One who holds the path.

And that’s You.

Lord, forgive me for all the ways I’ve treated You like a vending machine or a wish granter. You’re not here to serve my ego—You came to save my soul.

I don’t want You to just “fix my life.” I want You to transform me.

If that takes discomfort, so be it. If that means dying to my preferences, I’m ready. If that means letting go of everything I thought You would do, I’ll do it.

Because in the end, what I want more than anything… is You.

You alone are worthy.

You alone are holy.

You alone are Lord—not just in theory, but in reality.

So take my expectations, my formulas, my assumptions.
Take my pride, my need for control, my fear of the unknown.
Take it all, Jesus. You can have it.

And in return, give me eyes to see what You’re doing—even if it doesn’t look the way I imagined.

Because that man walked away seeing.

I want that kind of vision.
Not worldly vision.
Not religious tradition.
But real, Spirit-filled sight.

Sight that sees Your hand even in the mud.
Faith that trusts You even when it stings.
Love that stays, even when You move differently than expected.

You are Lord.

Not me.

Amen.

Why the Left Excuses Violence—Unless It’s Conservative

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

I’m so angry right now. I can’t even put it into words. But I have to try. Because if I don’t, I’m just letting the lies win. I’m letting the media and the left and the hypocrites in power keep pushing their agenda without anyone calling them out. So here I am, writing this down, hoping it helps me make sense of the mess.

I watched that CNN interview with Kaitlan Collins and JD Vance, and I was furious. Furious at the blatant double standards, the hypocrisy, the gaslighting. Collins tried to trap Vance by comparing the January 6th protests to the pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses. She wanted him to condemn the Capitol protesters while giving a free pass to the campus rioters. She even brought up how he helped raise money for those involved in the Capitol breach. Like that’s supposed to be some kind of gotcha moment.

But Vance didn’t back down. He called out the double standard. He pointed out how people who peacefully protested on January 6th are being treated like criminals, while those who rioted and vandalized during the Black Lives Matter protests are let off the hook. He said, “You can’t have Black Lives Matter protesters who rioted and vandalized go free when you have people who actually peacefully protested on January the 6th, who had the book thrown at them.” And you know what? He’s right. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Businesses in my neighborhood destroyed, lives ruined, and not a single word from the media about it. But let one person step foot in the Capitol, and suddenly it’s the end of democracy.

And then Collins had the nerve to question him about Trump’s comments on pardoning January 6th protesters. She asked if people who assaulted cops should be excluded from a potential pardon. Vance said yes, they should be. But she kept pushing, trying to paint him as soft on crime. It was disgusting. She wasn’t interested in the truth. She was interested in pushing her narrative.

I’m so tired of this. Tired of the media twisting the truth, tired of the double standards, tired of the lies. As a Christian, I believe in justice. I believe in standing up for what’s right. And right now, what’s right is calling out the hypocrisy and the bias that’s poisoning our society.

I pray for strength to keep speaking out, even when it’s hard. I pray for wisdom to discern the truth in a world full of lies. I pray for courage to stand firm in my beliefs, no matter the cost. And I pray for peace, knowing that God is in control.

Scripture:

  1. Proverbs 28:5 – “Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it completely.”
  2. Isaiah 5:20 – “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.”
  3. Psalm 94:16 – “Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?”
  4. Matthew 10:16 – “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.”
  5. John 8:32 – “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Prayers:

  1. Prayer for Justice: Lord, help me to seek justice in all things. Give me the courage to stand up for what is right, even when it’s difficult. Help me to be a voice for the voiceless and to fight against the injustices that plague our world.
  2. Prayer for Wisdom: Heavenly Father, grant me wisdom to discern the truth in a world full of deception. Help me to see through the lies and to recognize the truth, no matter how uncomfortable it may be.
  3. Prayer for Strength: God, give me the strength to keep fighting for what is right. When I am weary, renew my spirit. When I am discouraged, lift me up. Help me to persevere in the face of opposition.
  4. Prayer for Courage: Lord, fill me with courage to speak out against the wrongs I see. Help me to be bold in my convictions and to stand firm in my beliefs, even when it’s unpopular.
  5. Prayer for Peace: Father, grant me peace in the midst of chaos. Help me to trust in Your sovereignty and to rest in the knowledge that You are in control. Give me the peace that surpasses all understanding.

I don’t know what the future holds, but I know that I can’t stay silent. I can’t let the lies go unchallenged. I have to keep speaking the truth, even when it’s hard. Because if I don’t, who will?

Scripture:

Screenshot
  1. Romans 12:21 – “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
  2. Ephesians 5:11 – “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.”
  3. Proverbs 24:11 – “Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.”
  4. Psalm 82:3 – “Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.”
  5. Micah 6:8 – “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”

Prayer for Endurance:

Lord, give me the endurance to continue this fight for truth and justice. Help me to not grow weary in doing good, knowing that in due season I will reap if I do not give up. Strengthen my resolve and keep my eyes fixed on You.

Prayer for Revival:

Father, I pray for a revival in our nation. Bring hearts back to You. Open eyes to the truth. Let righteousness and justice flow like a mighty river. Heal our land and restore what has been broken.

Prayer for Protection:

God, protect me and my loved ones as we stand for what is right. Shield us from harm and keep us safe from those who would seek to silence us. Surround us with Your angels and cover us with Your love.

Prayer for Hope:

Lord, fill me with hope. Even when the world seems dark, help me to remember that You are the light. You are the hope. You are the way. And with You, all things are possible.

I don’t know how this will all end. But I know that I can’t stay silent. I can’t let the lies go unchallenged. I have to keep speaking the truth, even when it’s hard. Because if I don’t, who will?

Scripture:

  1. 2 Corinthians 4:2 – “But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God’s word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.”

This world doesn’t just need passive believers anymore. It needs warriors. Women and men of God who are not afraid to stand in the gap. I’m not saying we need to become bitter or violent. I’m saying we need to be bold. To shine light into the darkest places and call out evil for what it is — even when it’s dressed up in media spin, hashtags, or political slogans.

CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of them — they’ve made it clear they don’t care about the truth. They care about pushing a narrative that silences Christians, conservatives, and anyone who refuses to bow at the altar of political correctness. Kaitlan Collins didn’t ask JD Vance about justice — she asked him to bend the knee. And he didn’t. And for that, I’m thankful. But it also made it painfully clear just how far gone the media has become. They don’t want balance. They want obedience. They want compliance.

And I refuse to comply.

Final Scripture:

  1. Galatians 6:9 – “Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

Final Prayer – A Prayer for Truth to Prevail:

Heavenly Father,
You are the God of truth, justice, and righteousness. I ask You today to tear down the strongholds of deception in our media and in our government. Expose every lie and bring hidden things into the light. Raise up bold voices who will not waver, and strengthen us, Your children, to stand firm in a world that calls truth hate and evil good. Let truth prevail, and may Your name be glorified in all the earth. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

I’m not perfect. I still get angry, I still get emotional, and sometimes I want to scream. But I bring that to God. Because even my righteous anger, if it’s not submitted to Him, can consume me. So I’ll take my frustration, my heartbreak, my fire — and I’ll lay it at His feet. I’ll ask Him to use it. To sharpen it. To turn it into something that cuts through the lies and defends what’s holy.

Because one thing I know for sure:

The anti-Christian bias in the media isn’t just frustrating. It’s dangerous.
And if we don’t deal with it now, we may not have the chance later.

But as long as I have breath in my lungs, I’ll keep speaking. I’ll keep praying. I’ll keep standing.

Truth doesn’t need the world’s approval. It just needs a witness.

And I’m willing to be one.

Do you agree or disagree with my stance on the media bias? In your opinion, am I way out of line?

My YouTube Channel is Perfect for Everyone, Especially Christians

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

After weeks—maybe even months—of going back and forth, praying for clarity, and wrestling with some real fear of being misunderstood or criticized, I finally did it. I launched my YouTube channel to the publiv (I kept it private for many months). I’m still kind of in shock.

It’s not just any YouTube channel either—this one’s political. I know, I know. It sounds like a mess waiting to happen, especially in the world we’re living in right now where everything feels so divided. But I’ve felt such a strong pull on my heart to step up and speak the truth—real truth—not just the kind that gets pushed around by talking heads on TV.

It honestly started with frustration. Every time I turned on the news or scrolled through social media, I felt like I was being spoon-fed half-truths. Things are happening in this country and around the world that the mainstream media just refuses to cover, and if they do, it’s always through a distorted lens. It was driving me crazy.

But more than that, I started to feel convicted. As a Christian, I can’t just sit back and ignore what’s happening. We’re called to be salt and light in the world—to stand for what’s right, even when it’s uncomfortable. And believe me, this is uncomfortable. Putting my opinions out there, especially on political issues, is scary. But God didn’t give me a spirit of fear. He gave me boldness.

So I created this channel to speak plainly about the things people are either too scared to say or too blind to see. I don’t claim to know everything—I’m still learning every day—but I’m not afraid to ask hard questions and challenge the narratives we’re constantly being fed. I want this to be a space where people can think freely and hear perspectives that aren’t being broadcast on the nightly news.

Please take a look at my YouTube Channel Here!

I uploaded my first video this afternoon. It’s rough, to be honest. The lighting’s not great, and I was super nervous. But I just talked from the heart. That’s what matters, right? I hope that people who are sick of the spin, the bias, the manipulation—will find a little truth and hope in what I’m doing.

I already got a couple of comments, and one was a bit mean. That part stung. But then I remembered Jesus said we’d be hated for speaking truth in His name. So I prayed for that person and moved on. I’m doing this for a bigger reason than popularity. I’m doing it because I truly believe that Christians need to be part of the cultural conversation—not hidden away in fear.

So here I am—24, Christian, not a media expert, but trying my best to follow what God’s put on my heart. I’m nervous, I’m excited, and most of all, I’m surrendered.

Lord, use this for Your glory. Even if only one person watches and thinks deeper about the truth, it’s worth it.

Until next time,
The Christian Tech Nerd
