Image problem points: own your failures, drop the Christianese, check the hate

The article walkthrough continues. 'People screw up': own it fast, apologize, make amends — and the hosts warn against the flip side, weaponizing others' failures and covering things up to protect dollars, budgets, and headcounts, which perverts the church's role. 'A lot of Christians end up speaking Christianese': fellowship, tribulation, 'the fall' — insider jargon that baffles outsiders and kills credibility, illustrated by a video of Christians making non-Christian friends guess terms like 'original sin.' The hate point: when hate becomes a Christian's primary trait something is off; a host says 'you love them too much to skip it,' using the image of stopping a loved one from eating nails — people may read love as hate, and the follower of Jesus is privileged to know the difference, with the standing closer 'don't be a jerk.'
