The 'In the Sanctuary' TikTok trend revolves around the high-energy gospel song by Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers. It typically features creators sharing deeply personal, embarrassing, or traumatic 'storytimes' through text overlays while performing an energetic, rhythmic dance routine synchronized to the beat. The trend gained massive traction because of the jarring contrast between the upbeat, celebratory nature of the music and the often-dark or chaotic nature of the stories being told. It has become a staple of digital storytelling, where users use humor and movement to process difficult experiences, turning life struggles into relatable and rhythmic viral content.
