Ever feel like you're nodding along in church but secretly have no idea what half the words actually mean? You're not alone. Words like sin, repentance, flesh, and grace get thrown around constantly, but most of us learned them through osmosis, not definition.
In this episode, Catherine sits down with Brandon Vaughn, author of Lost in Christianese (Parts 1 & 2), to unpack the real meanings of the words we use every day. Brandon traces these terms back to their original Greek usage and discovers they mean something radically different than what we've been taught. What if sin isn't about rule-breaking? What if repentance isn't about feeling bad? What if flesh and spirit don't mean what you think?
What you'll learn:
- Why defining biblical words matters for your relationship with God
- What sin actually meant in ancient Greek (hint: it's about missing your purpose, not breaking rules)
- How forgiveness was used to describe divorce
- Why understanding covenant and sin unlocks the entire Bible
- The difference between Christianese and what Scripture actually says
Brandon's journey from Southern Baptist burnout to grace-based freedom will resonate with anyone tired of performance-based religion.
