About Me

 

Former - having previously filled a particular role or been a particular thing .

Heathen - an uncivilized , wild , unreligious , barbaric person who lacks moral principles . Or someone who is sinful , and very promicious .

Hello , my name is Shalina . Majority of you may recognize me as “ Shalinatheartist “ “ Lina “ or “ Star “. All three are fine & very much apart of this big bright personality .

Many of you are familiar with my testimony , and many of you aren’t . I go into further detail on the “ Former Heathen “ podcast . You can take a listen to  Season 1 on Libsyn , YouTube , Apple podcast , or simply type in my podcast name ! 

The name “ Former Heathen “ came to me , while I was searching for names for my podcast . I’ve always called myself a “ Heathen “ jokingly to describe my sexual past . So the name just hit home for me , and If it ain’t broke don’t fix it lol 

The name really does make sense , especially with the fast life that I’ve led . Not having the best relationships with men , being a wild child , ignoring red flags , rushing into things , not knowing my worth , not putting myself first , turning the other cheek and  ignoring things that were right in front of my face . The decision to change my mindset , honor God , refrain from sex , WAIT for the most high to send me the right one , WHILE simultaneously working on having a better relationship with HIM - was a no brainer .

AFTER THAT I TRANSITIONED from what many would call a “Heaux Phase”  Into my “ Heavy Isolation “ phase , that God took me through, and finally into my “ DELIVERED “ Era . The path to change , to rid myself of my past , and change my life around , was extremely important to me .

I know that When you hear the word “ Heathen “ you immediately think about a wild person , up to no good , doing GOD knows what , and etc . But , That’s just part of what it means . 

While traditionally , the word “ Heathen “ means something entirely different , more so regarding non religious people / non believers . The word has so many different meanings, and definitions . However , I chose to use the one that best suited me and my journey.

If you used to run the streets , found yourself having sex to fill a void , dealt with hyper sexuality , experienced being left alone , being used and abused , left heart broken , found yourself looking for love in all of the wrong places , having sexual dealings with the wrong men /women , found yourself searching , and looking for someone to save and heal you , this message behind this line , is totally for you .

The choice to refrain from something as powerful as sex , isn’t an easy one . It does get easier , as time goes on . Those that get it , get it lol :) I hope that when you purchase our merch , you wear it with pride . I hope you remember that everyone can’t & shouldn’t have access to you !!!

Also , keep in mind that YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A “ FORMER HEATHEN “ TO PURCHASE MERCH . YOU CAN STILL SUPPORT THE LINE :) Or sow a seed into my ministry ! See the “ Sow A Seed Heading “ in our tabs section . Thank you in advance for blessing me & may God bless you in return :)

To all of my “ Former Heathens “ I salute you for giving your life back to GOD , and remembering who you are in Christ . Remember, your BODY IS A TEMPLE TREAT IT AS SUCH .

Thank you for all of the support and love . May your Self Worth Be Found & Your Self Love Restored .

Xoxo, Lina 💋💫
