3 Words You Shouldn't Say In Church

Hey, it’s Brady,

There’s a three-word phrase we really need to stop saying in church:

“Don’t miss it!”

(I’ll tell you what I recommend as an alternative in just a second)

The phrase “don’t miss it!” is commonly used to promote church events. For example:

“We’ve got a church picnic coming up. Don’t miss it!”

The problem? The undertone of the phrase “don’t miss it” is guilt.

Which is a lousy motivator for a church.

Instead, I’d suggest you say:

“See you there!”

The undertone of “see you there” is community.

“Good grief, Brady. You’re really overthinking this one.” 😡

Perhaps!

But here’s the thing…

The language you use becomes the culture you build.

And if your language is laced with fear and guilt, that will eventually get expressed elsewhere.

Plus, this is an easy swap. Three words for three words.

Light work. 💪
