In this episode of 1946: The Culture Shift Tour – UK, we sit down with Scott Archer — known to millions online as “TikTok Jesus.”
With nearly 8 million followers, Scott has built a massive platform using cosplay, satire, and humor to challenge misinformation about the Bible and push back against anti-LGBTQ+ narratives. But behind the viral content is a deeply personal story.
Scott is openly asexual, and in this conversation, he shares what that means, how he came to understand his identity later in life, and why asexuality remains widely misunderstood — even within the LGBTQIA+ community.
We explore the unexpected rise of “TikTok Jesus,” the role of humor in dismantling harmful theology, and the reality of navigating backlash, hate, and visibility online.
The conversation also dives into cultural differences between UK and US Christianity, the influence of the Church of England, and why misinformation about the Bible spreads so easily in the digital age.
This episode is thoughtful, funny, and deeply human — a conversation about identity, platform, faith, and the power of using your voice to create change.
