Let's Be Honest...Do you speak Christanese? Do you even know what that is? In the church world we talk about all kinds of things that to anyone else sounds extremely weird.

Today we highlight some of those to help raise awareness to how strange and off-putting these things can be to people looking to give church a try.

Let's Be Honest...Kids are the worst. Really, they are. We love our kids but anyone with kids, knows that the struggle is real. From morning routines to funky smells to ALWAYS being in your personal space, these little angels know how to find that last nerve.
