XXVIII: What Pretending God is Real has Done to Me… | 10K Q&A

Five days into a dare to act like God is real for 30 days, I went from 500 followers to over 10,000. This is the campfire Q&A that followed: who's actually behind the account, why I didn't fake faith for growth, and how far one "yes" can pull the rest of your life open. No sermon, no conversion pitch. Just an honest attempt to meet the you all where you found me.Why the "gain followers" accusation stingsQuitting math to chase podcastingThe mentors sharpening the showZero religion growing up, then doubtStaying humble (and a little numb) at 10KThe resurrection, suffering, and my biggest doubtsThe question I'm scared to ask myselfGot a question of your own?
