When God Calls You Outside the Lines: My Journey of Grace, Obedience, and Unconventional Faith

There’s a kind of calling that doesn’t always come wrapped in church clothes. A calling that doesn’t look like Sunday morning sermons or perfectly recited Scriptures. One that makes religious people uncomfortable—but sets the captives free.

God called me to help people. All people. Even those who don’t acknowledge Him yet. Even those who are running from Him because of pain, trauma, or confusion. That includes people who can’t say “Jesus is King,” not because they don’t believe, but because they’ve been wounded by religion. And though it’s not always easy to navigate, God reminded me: He is still their Father.

There was a time in my life when I denied Jesus too. Just like Peter, I said I didn’t know Him. I called myself an atheist—not because I truly was, but because I was following someone else’s path, trying to escape the pain I had tied to religion. I was broken, angry, and distant from God. But He never left me. Not once.

In my darkest season, God used something most Christians would never expect: tarot cards.

Yes, tarot. Not to lead me away from Him—but to get my attention. I wasn’t looking for God, but He came looking for me. He met me where I was, just like He always does. And slowly, He cleaned me up. He opened my eyes. He helped me hear His voice. And now I walk with Him—not as a perfect person, but as a chosen one.

Some would say that’s not possible. Some would call me a witch. Some have already shut doors in my face or whispered about me behind my back. But I’m not here to be accepted by the crowd. I’m here to be obedient to God.

And God said:

“Love them.”

“Help them.”

“Be a light, even if they don’t know Me yet.”

That’s what I do. That’s what I will continue to do.

I’m not here to argue about doctrine. I’m here to make space for healing.

I’m not here to mimic judgmental Christians. I’m here to mirror Jesus—who loved without condition, who forgave without limits, who saw the heart and not just the behavior.

There’s a movement rising. A remnant of people who don’t fit into the traditional mold but carry a radical obedience to God’s voice. People who’ve been through the wilderness and came out with fire in their bones. People who don’t need a pulpit to preach, because our lives are the sermon.

If that’s you—if you’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong, like you were too “spiritual” for the church and too “Christian” for the New Age world—I see you. God sees you. And you are not alone.

Keep walking with Him.

Keep loving like Him.

Keep letting Him speak through you, even if it looks different than what others expect.

Because this is ministry.

And the ones who were rejected by religion are the very ones Jesus came for.
