Big churchy words. We use them every day, but do we really understand their deep meanings? And if it's hard for Christians to truly comprehend their magnitude, imagine how much harder it is for nonbelievers when Christians are trying to witness with these words!

What are some of these words? Pastor Mike is joined by Amber Albee Swenson—one of our Time of Grace bloggers, podcasters, and writers—as they discuss the next TV message series looking at the importance of understanding the words we use with our faith. In the course of the conversation, we learn the dangers of not understanding the words we use, the word Amber thought she already knew but quickly realized how much she still needed to learn, how we can avoid "the curse of knowledge," the book that confirmed Amber is not a "high-end Christian," and which word from this message series has hit Pastor Mike the most.

"Churchy Words Explained (and Why You Should Care)" kicks off this coming Sunday, Jan. 30.

Pastor Mike and Amber also talk about February's resource, "30 Words to Fire Up Your Faith." With hands-on activities like drawing, puzzles, and thought-provoking study questions, this activity journal invites you to explore some of the most important words from the Bible—and have fun doing it! Starting Feb. 1, you can get this journal at timeofgracestore.org with your gift to the ministry.
