Earlier this month, Brand took to social media to share a brief video in which he confirmed his decision to embrace Christianity through baptism. In the video, Brand addressed the perplexity some may feel about the increasing number of individuals turning to Christianity. He expressed his belief that the answer is quite straightforward, attributing the trend to a search for purpose and foundational meaning in an increasingly chaotic world.
"I'm taking the plunge this Sunday. I'm getting baptized," Brand announced, while situated in an outdoor grassy area.

Brand noted the symbolism of baptism as a rebirth is consistent with traditions in other major religions, describing it as "so inviting and beautiful." He observed a growing trend of individuals turning to Christianity as the modern world becomes increasingly unstable and confusing.
"People are so cynical about the increasing interest in Christianity and the return to God, but to me, it’s obvious. As meaning deteriorates in the modern world, as our value systems and institutions crumble, all of us become increasingly aware that there is this eerily familiar awakening and beckoning figure that we’ve all known all of our lives, within us and around us," Brand stated.
