Inkari Files Entry 007 – You Are Not the Main Character
You Are Not the Main Character (And Neither Am I)
Let’s just rip the bandaid off: you are not the star of the show. You are not the chosen one. You are not the main character. Sorry, TikTok told you wrong. The algorithm lied. That conference speaker who said you’re “God’s favorite” forgot to mention He doesn’t play favorites.
And yet here we are. Christian culture has been drinking the “main character energy” Kool-Aid like it’s living water. Scroll your feed—you’ll see it. Jesus as the cozy boyfriend who just adores everything you do. The “aesthetic” Bible pics where the pages look straighter than your theology. The worship songs that are less about worship and more about self-love anthems with “Jesus” tossed in like seasoning.
It’s exhausting. Fake Jesus is everywhere. The Jesus who never calls sin sin. The Jesus who would apparently rather vibe to your Spotify playlist than flip tables in your temple. The Jesus who exists only to spotlight you and your “inspirational” reels. We’ve built an idol out of Him, and then we dare call it worship.
Meanwhile, pulpits aren’t helping. Too many sermons are “You are enough.” “You are the point.” “You are the hero of your own story.” No wonder we’re confused. We’ve replaced the cross with a mirror.
But here’s the real deal: we’re background characters. Dust, vapor, grass that withers. And that’s good news. Because the story isn’t about us—it’s about Him. The Author. The Creator. The actual Main Character who cannot be canceled, cropped, or ignored no matter how curated your feed is.
You want purpose? Lay down the role you were never meant to play. You want meaning? Step out of the spotlight and remember who the light actually belongs to. You want truth? Stop scrolling for validation and open the Book that doesn’t care about your aesthetic.
Because at the end of the day, you’re not the center. I’m not the center. And thank God for that. The weight would crush us. But He carries it. He always has.
So yeah. You’re not the main character. But you’re loved by the One who is. And that’s infinitely better than your fifteen seconds of algorithmic fame.
