Christian Jargon and Tenets of Faith

September 13, 2026

About this episode

What do Christians actually mean when we use words and phrases like "guard your heart," "spiritual warfare," "justification," "sanctification," or Sola Scripture?

In this episode of The Rooted Way, we slow down and define some of the language Christians often use without thinking about it.

We look at everyday church jargon, foundational doctrines, and some of the major theological debates believers encounter—asking not just what these words mean, but where the ideas come from in Scripture and why they matter.

Our goal isn’t to get rid of meaningful theological language. It’s to make sure we actually understand what we’re saying and can explain it clearly to someone who may not already speak “Christianese.”

Want to dig deeper? We put together a free companion with the definitions, theological terms, and Scripture references discussed in this episode.
