Christianese and Church Words – religious terminology that churches use.
Day 8 Lent – We are continuing our Lent Experiment with talking about Christian lingo today. From words used by the modern church and some funny christian cuss word alternatives, let’s look at the Christianese culture.
My family has been actively attending church for the last 20 years. I was raised Catholic, took several years off from the “church scene” and then started attending various non-denominational churches.
Even though it’s been 20 years – you guys, I’ll never forget trying to understand Christianese!

Day 8 of Lent
Happy PI day! We are on day 8 of Lent and of course, we are celebrating with PIE! (Make sure to check out our post on Pi Day Memes!)
One of our favorite local pie shops is Buttermilk Sky Pie Shop. To celebrate pi day, *you did see our pi day memes – right?* we picked up an assortment of pies for dessert.
410 Pie (pecan/chocolate chip), buttermilk pie, peanut butter pie, apple pie and chocolate pie minis – you really just can’t go wrong!
See you tomorrow on day 9 of Lent.
