Christception
A mental awareness that occurs when you are reading the Bible and begin to quite immersively relate to and identify with the experiences interwoven through the scriptural text.
(Scene setting: Sunday afternoon in the back of a church sanctuary somewhere in the Midwest):
Church Member Bob: I was reading 2 Kings 2 for my Bible study this week on Wednesday and I was relating too much with some of the main characters in the story...
Church Member Bill: That happened to me too while reading the New Testament this week.
Bob: Yeah this book is seriously too long for you not to get seriously invested in the interwoven storyline.
Bill: Yeah, it's like when the spirit of God is awakened within you? We call that Christception in my small group.
Bob: Ah, glad I have a word for it now.
Bill: Just curious, which characters in 2 Kings 2 did you find most relatable? Elisha or the children?
Bob: Well, actually, The bears 🐻
