🌐 More content + show notes:

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!

Episode 3: Meet My… Cohost? Maybe 🎙️😂

Today’s a special one — you finally get to meet Nathan! (Well… maybe. We’ll see how this goes!) In this episode, we talk about how this podcast even got started, ministry life in a small town, and what it’s really like doing this thing together.

It’s honest, a little goofy, and definitely not your typical church talk. Stick around — you might just find out if Nathan’s really cut out to be the cohost or not!

🎙️ Welcome to Not Your Typical Church Podcast with Pastor Cory — a place for real conversations about church, life, leadership, and everything in between.

In Episode 2, Pastor Cory shares why he still loves the Church — even with all its imperfections. Drawing from personal experiences, biblical truth, and a few battle-tested metaphors, he unpacks how the Church is:

🏥 a hospital for the hurting, not a museum for the perfect

⚔️ a battleship on a mission, not a cruise ship for comfort

🏗 a construction site in progress, not a stage set for show

If you’ve ever been hurt by the church, questioned your place in it, or wondered if it’s still relevant today, this episode will challenge your perspective and encourage your heart.

🔑 Key Topics:

Why the Church matters in an imperfect world

The difference between comfort and calling

What it means to be part of God’s ongoing work

How to re-engage if you’ve been burned out or hurt
