Renowned singer Vivianne openly expressed her decision to step away from Christianity, a move that has left many, including her friend Michelle Ntalami, in shock. This unfolding story highlights the deeply personal and often public nature of spiritual journeys in today’s digital age.
Vivianne, known for her melodious voice and deep lyrics, took to social media to announce her departure from Christianity. In a candid and emotional post, she questioned the foundations of the religion, portraying it not as a path to spiritual growth but as a system she believes is rooted in control and fear. The post quickly gained traction, drawing both support and criticism from followers, and igniting a broader conversation on faith and belief.
One of the most notable reactions came from Michelle Ntalami, the CEO of Marini Naturals and a prominent social media influencer. Michelle, who shares a close friendship with Vivianne, was evidently shaken by the singer’s declaration. She responded with a heartfelt and lengthy post, expressing her deep concern and urging Vivianne to reconsider her stance.
“Viv nooo… Just the other day we had such a deep conversation about God, and we were so in tune. I’m so sorry for your painful experiences hun, we’ve all been there. But it’s not Christians we follow, but Christ Himself,” Michelle wrote, capturing the essence of her disbelief and concern. Her message emphasized the idea that Christians, like all humans, are fallible and prone to sin, but the essence of Christianity lies in following Christ, not in idolizing fellow believers.
Michelle’s response reflected a common struggle within religious communities—how to reconcile the imperfections of fellow believers with the teachings of their faith. She urged Vivianne to forgive those who may have hurt her and to continue her spiritual journey with her eyes fixed on Jesus. “Following the latter will leave you in doubt and disarray. All of humanity is fallen, Christians included. There’s not one righteous. Forgive those who hurt you, remove yourself and just keep fixing your eyes on Jesus,” she added.
Furthermore, Michelle warned against the allure of alternative spiritual beliefs, which she believes can be deceptive. She specifically mentioned the concepts of “Universe” and “self-belief,” suggesting that they could be the devil disguising himself as an angel of light, a reference to biblical teachings. “Believe me there is no life outside of Christ. I am praying for you, you got this sis,” she concluded, quoting a passage from Genesis to underline her point.
Vivianne, however, remained resolute in her decision. In a direct response to Michelle’s post, she acknowledged the concerns but stood firm in her newfound beliefs. “Hi gurrl. I hear you, been there… been preached to… the whole Shabang. My mind is clear as day. I believe in spirituality,” the singer replied, indicating that her decision was not made lightly and that she had thoroughly considered her stance.
This exchange between the two friends highlights the growing trend of public figures sharing their spiritual journeys on social media, often leading to widespread discussions and debates. It also underscores the challenges many face in navigating their faith, especially when their personal experiences conflict with traditional religious teachings.
For Michelle, Vivianne’s departure from Christianity is not just a personal loss but a call to action—to pray and to continue advocating for the teachings of Christ. For Vivianne, it marks a new chapter in her life, one where she seeks spiritual fulfillment outside the confines of organized religion. As the conversation continues to unfold online, it serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and deeply personal nature of faith in today’s world.
