My Rock Bottom and the Real "Right Side of History"

People often say we need to make sure we’re on the “right side of history.” But what does that actually mean?

In this episode of True Comfort, Teasi Cannon shares part of her personal testimony—how she hit rock bottom in her early twenties, overwhelmed by shame, broken choices, and deep despair. In the middle of that darkness, she encountered the truth of Jesus Christ and the power of the Cross.

Our culture frames the “right side of history” as a political or cultural position. But the real dividing line of history happened 2,000 years ago when Jesus was crucified.

History itself was split by that moment.

The real question isn’t which cultural side we choose. The real question is what we do with the Cross.

Let's talk about:

The Pain of Division: How to fight for a 50-year friendship when you’re on opposite sides of every cultural issue.

My Personal Rock Bottom: The night a work Christmas party ended in a physical fight and total isolation.

The Hinge of History: Why the crucifixion of Jesus is the only objective "True North" in a shifting world.

Evidence for the Cross: A look at the historical and medical facts that prove the reality of Jesus’ sacrifice.

The Great Exchange: Moving from a life of "pain seeking pleasure" to being hidden in the righteousness of Christ.
