What was said
"Something happened to me in Christ that never happened before in all of the various psychedelic encounters or all of the meditations and mantras and all those things. Happened to me with Jesus and it's still happening to me with him."
Russell Brand made a direct comparison between his past use of psychedelics and spiritual practices versus his current Christian faith, claiming his experience with Jesus produced a transformation that drugs and meditation could not. He emphasized this is an ongoing experience rather than a one-time event. The statement contradicts narratives that spiritual experiences across traditions are equivalent.
