Church people have their own language—and if you didn’t grow up around it, some of it sounds funny, confusing, or downright strange. In this episode of Not Your Typical Church Podcast, Cory breaks down popular church phrases like “bless your heart,” “hedge of protection,” and “the lost”—explaining where they come from, what they really mean, and why they matter.

We’ll laugh at some of the funny expressions, clear up the confusing ones, and get serious about the hope found in Jesus for those who feel far from God.

If you’ve ever wondered what Christians mean when they say certain things, this conversation is for you!
