You Might be a Millennial Christian If . .

The other day I stumbled upon my list of “Things Christians Do” that I jotted down over the past couple years because I knew they would be funny some day. So today, I unveil to you, my growing list of the hilarious things millennial Christians say or do!

I show this to you because I believe it’s necessary to laugh at ourselves sometimes. If you’re offended, then I am genuinely sorry. But for now, lets laugh at how far we’ve come as a generation.
