These last few years, I would say I identify as Christian. However, with that comes the knowledge that I'm not really an example of what Christ wants me to be.
Among the shitposting and memeing, the worldly politics and mind-bending comms games, and the gradual dissipation and breaking down of an entire fake media matrix, how does everyone manage to stay uplifted?
I get hopium fixes from the usual crew we tend to listen to, but that really only covers geopolitical matrix games. It can be hard to maintain faith in one plan, let alone God's ultimate plan.
How do we navigate this in a Christian way?
Do you guys have any preachers or pastors, or biblical decoders you listen to? Any podcasts, audiobooks, videos?
I don't want to hyperfocus as much on the deceptive war games and get lost in a mental fog of war.
I guess I just get a bit terrified sometimes, that the earthly things are distracting me from really getting to a good place spiritually.
I know we all generally share similar values, and I respect the opinions of those able to see past at least some of the curtains of the show.
I guess I just wish I knew how to do more to bring Jesus into my life.
Any advice from wiser crazies than I?
Love ya, you nimble navigators.
I read the Bible.

Charles Spurgeon was a famous preacher from the 19th century (died in 1892 at the age of 57). He is known as the Prince of Preachers and his sermons have been translated to many languages. Sermons can be used as a springboard for further studies-

Walter Veith is a Seventh Day Adventist, like Ben Carson, and put out a video series Total Onslaught which is very informative, but I say that with some caveats due to his denomination.
As far as Seventh Day Adventism goes, I don't believe Ellen White is a prophetess, and is in fact a false prophetess, but I find the denomination interesting for one reason - their theology is mostly mainline Protestant doctrine from 1844 with some deception mixed in. Once you remove Ellen White's writing, and her Investigative Judgment doctrine from the mix, you're left with a snapshot of what Protestants in this country used to believe before the Rockefellers took over the theological seminaries in the United States in the early 1900s.
Here's a link to the Total Onslaught video series on Veith's website-

You can either skip (or watch with care) episodes 22 and 28-32 as those are the Adventist specific videos.
Here's some warnings on Adventism to keep in mind- https://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Seventh-Day%20Adventist/nwo.htm
