Dr. Caroline Leaf told Pastor Steven Furtick that Christianese phrases can become toxic strongholds that prevent believers from renewing their minds and putting Christian behavior into practice. Instead, we recognize and repeat familiar terms without ever internalizing them, causing a schism between what we say and what we do. Leaf says, “What you’re saying is coming from a toxic root, so it sounds good, but it’s not good, because it’s not a reality in your life. That causes brain damage.” Watch the video to hear their full discussion.
