Life In The Gray

Let's play a game! On this fun-filled episode, we rattle off common cliches used by Christians in churches and evaluate whether or not they are insightful or harmful. Join us with special guest Braeden Storkersen from Southern California. Here's a list of the cliches we discuss, feel free to follow along and rate them yourself. 1. Everything happens for a reason  2. If you died today, do you know where you’d spend eternity? 3. They’re in a better place. 4. Have you asked Jesus into your heart? 5. We’re in the end times. 6. The Bible clearly says… 7. God will never give you more than you can handle? 8. America is a Christian nation. 9. When God closes a door, he opens a window. 10. God helps those who help themselves. 11. If you have enough faith, you’ll receive your miracle. 12. God is in control. 13. Deeds, not creeds. 14. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. 15. You can’t outgive God! 16. Christianity is not a religion, it’s a relationship. 17. God works in mysterious way
