About this episode

This episode explores common Christian clichés and questions their validity against Scripture.

There’s a version of Christianity that fits perfectly on a bumper sticker—short, catchy, and easy to repeat. Phrases like “God helps those who help themselves,” “Everything happens for a reason,” or “Follow your heart” sound spiritual… even comforting. But what if some of the ideas we’ve picked up—ideas we’ve repeated and believed—aren’t actually found in Scripture? In this series, Bumper Sticker Theology, we’re going to take a closer look at some of the most common Christian clichés and ask a simple question: Is it true… or does it just sound true? Westbridge Church is people helping people FIND and FOLLOW JESUS! We believe that no matter where you are in your faith, there’s always a next step you can take to grow in your relationship with God. As a church, we are committed to continually growing and encouraging others to grow in their faith, connect in community, share God’s grace, serve others, live generously, and have serious fun along the way.
