"In the Sanctuary" Storytime is a trend on TikTok in which users recount long, traumatic or dramatic stories, usually about their dating history, over the gospel song "In the Sanctuary" by Kurt Carr, a song that appears to be ending several times before breaking out into music again. The trend was popularized between June and August 2022 on TikTok. It was also criticized by some Black TikTokers, who expressed discomfort over people who have never experienced the song first-hand in a church setting using it for the trend.
