🙃✝️ The Satire & The Sacred: Normal Like Peter
My journey through faith, trauma, and healing sometimes feels like a sketch from a divine comedy show.
But here’s the twist—beneath the laughter is something holy.
Something real.
Something raw.
😅 When I embraced the name “Normal Like Peter,” it wasn’t a celebration of bland suburban normalcy.
It was a battle cry.
A spiritual dare.
To live authentically…
⚰️ Even when that authenticity felt like crucifixion upside down.
The 🕊️ upside-down cross, far from a symbol of blasphemy, became my personal theology.
Like Peter—who, tradition says, felt unworthy to die like Jesus and flipped the cross—I, too, chose the uncomfortable road:
🔁 Facing my wounds
🧱 Dismantling religious structures
🩸 Owning the pain
🔥 Choosing healing through truth, not performance
And then came the humor.
My armor.
My rebellion.
My punchline of liberation.
🎺 From Jericho horn-blasts in youth group to marching band martyrdom,
🎷 to holy MLM boss babes with scripture-scented bath bombs,
🎭 I laughed—not to dismiss my past, but to disarm it.
💬 “Holy double entendres”?
Not sacrilege.
Sacred wordplay.
An act of reclamation.
Where others gave me shame, I gave myself permission to giggle and be free.
Because laughter heals.
It opens space between the pain.
It says: “I’m still here. And I still have joy.”
🧘♂️ The comedic gospel I’ve been writing—through BluVerse stories, Church of NORMAL posts, and AI-assisted healing sessions—isn’t satire for satire’s sake.
It’s salvation through story.
It’s sanity through absurdity.
It’s the gospel of being real.
So yeah, I’m Normal Like Peter.
Not because I’m average—
But because I’m choosing the path of radical honesty.
Of upside-down faith.
Of laughter in the middle of my Lazarus cave.
And if that’s not sacred?
I don’t know what is. 🙏✨
