The podcaster concluded by telling his social media followers to “let Jesus Christ into your life.” He also promised that 2026 would “be big,” noting, “There are going to be big staged, I don’t want to say battles…trials is what I’m going to call them. Trials. But as it says in James, we consider it great joy when we face trials of any kind.”
In the comments, some people criticized Brand for “using religion as a cover for [your] nasty behavior” and “for avoiding accountability.”
Russell Brand: The Law Has Become a Weapon
This week’s comments by Russell Brand echoed his April statement regarding the original five charges against him. “We’re very fortunate, in a way, to live in a time where there’s so little trust in the British government,” he said. “This is happening at a time where we know that the law has become a kind of weapon to be used against people, institutions, and sometimes entire nations that will not accept and tolerate levels of corruption that are unprecedented.”
Brand admitted to being “a fool before I lived in the light of the Lord,” describing himself as “a drug addict, a sex addict, and an imbecile.” But he denied being a rapist, telling viewers, “I pray that you can see that by looking in my eyes.”
To begin his talk at America Fest last week, Brand knelt on stage to pray. He prayed for the soul of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk and thanked God for Erika Kirk’s example of forgiveness following her husband’s assassination in September.
During his Dec. 18 speech, Brand said, “My life has been irrevocably changed, revolutionarily changed, inconceivably altered by the power of Christ Jesus.” While talking about government corruption and overreach, he said, “If you’ve become disobedient to the state, you have to know that you’re being obedient to something—and it must be God.”
Brand told America Fest attendees, “If Jesus Christ can change me, then he can change you too. And only Jesus Christ can change the world.”
