To My Friends and Fellow Voices in X-Spaces,
I want to share something that’s been weighing on me—not to correct or call out anyone else, but to take responsibility for myself.
Lately, I’ve been feeling the weight of a disconnect between the things I say I believe and the way I sometimes carry myself in certain conversations. And the truth is, that gap has started to tear at me. It’s messing with my mind and spirit more than I’ve been willing to admit until now.
So I just need to be honest: from this point forward, if I’m in a space—whether I’m hosting, co-hosting, or just a speaker—I won’t be participating in conversations that revolve around graphic sexual content, heavy innuendo, or intense profanity. This isn’t about judging anyone else. This is about MY conviction that’s hit me hard. One I can’t ignore anymore.
Today’s ‘rap battle’ was a tipping point for me. It just put me in a spot where I felt incredibly out of place—like I was betraying myself, laughing along when I really felt uncomfortable deep down. And I can’t keep doing that. It’s not who I am, and it’s not who I want to be.
Please hear me when I say this: I’m not asking anyone to change. I respect everyone’s freedom to be themselves and run their spaces however they choose. But for me, I need to start aligning what I say with how I act. That means a few clear boundaries moving forward:
— If I host a space, that kind of content just won’t be part of it.
— If I’m co-hosting and it heads that direction, I’ll quietly step back and let someone else take over.
— If I’m just a speaker, I’ll do what we all have the freedom to do—just respectfully leave.
No hard feelings. No drama. Just a personal shift in my Christian walk that I need to make for my own peace of mind, and consistency.
Thanks to those of you who’ve supported me, laughed with me, and challenged me. This isn’t me walking away. It’s just me walking straighter. And to some, a bit narrower.
All is good…
Mike
