Christians, you might have noticed, have their own unique way of talking that can seem like a completely different language. To help you translate, the Babylon Bee has compiled this handy updated guide to Christian phrases:

  • "The Lord laid it on my heart": I wanna.

  • "Let's take some time to posture our hearts before we start worship": The media guy can't find the lyrics slide.

  • "Please consider if the Lord might be leading you to volunteer in the nursery": There's literally no one watching your children right now, it's Lord of the Flies back there.

  • "Quiet time": Nap time.

  • "I think the Lord could use us as a couple to advance the Kingdom": You're hot and I'd like to make out with you.

  • "We really see God gifting you in a different area": You are awful at your job.

  • "I feel like the Lord is calling me to a time of singleness": No one asked me to homecoming.

  • "I would love to better understand the heart behind your decision": What the heck are you doing, dummy?

  • "#BLESSED": The store took my expired coupon.

  • "It was a total God thing": It was what I wanted.

  • "Lord, I just want to echo Bob's prayer": I forgot it was my turn to pray.

  • "We don't have small groups here, we have Gospel-centered missional families": We have small groups and a thesaurus.

  • "I'm working to keep pursuing my wife's heart": I'm rinsing the dishes.

  • "We just want to pour into that new couple at Church": Whoa, they need Jesus.

  • "Oh, biscuits": Ironically, the Bee cannot write what Christians mean by this, as this is a Christian website.

Hopefully, this helps make those weirdo Church folks out there a little easier to understand. Let us know any other lingo that we missed in the comments.
