    Apr 30 2025

    Have you ever uttered a Christian cliche only to realize you're not even sure what it means? Or maybe someone has used Christianese on you in a most non-sensical way.

Whitney Capps and Russ Greer take some of these classics to task to figure out what exactly is being communicated.

Fortunately, God has gifted some to help craft a plan and see it through. Whitney Capps and Russ Greer walk through two important gifts given to believers and how they work together to serve the church.
