{{otheruses|Jesus Freak (disambiguation)}}
 
The term '''Jesus freak''' was originally a [[pejorative]] term applied to those involved in the [[Jesus movement]] of the late [[1960s]] and early [[1970s]]. The term came into existence within the context of the [[freak scene]] of that era. At first, the term was used only in reference to members of the movement, but it has since found wide usage outside of that scene. It is still sometimes used as a pejorative epithet against Christians in general. However, some [[Christianity|Christians]] now consider it a [[reclaiming|reclaimed]] word, as some Christians, especially Christian youth, occasionally use it as a positive term to let others know that they are not ashamed of their beliefs.
