Hey there, Be the 25 fam! 🙌 Today, we're getting REAL about what it means to be a TRUE CHRISTIAN. 💡

❓ Do you call yourself a Christian?
❓ What does it REALLY mean to follow Jesus?
❓ Is it just about going to church or being a good person?

This episode of Be the 25 unpacks it all! 🧐 We’re diving deep into the BIBLICAL meaning of being a Christian and how it’s not just a label—it’s a LIFE.Just about anywhere you go, you'll meet people who self-identify as Christian.

• The true meaning behind the word "Christian" 🧐
• The difference between self-identifying as a Christian vs. actually belonging to Christ 🙏
• How the term "Christian" was first used (spoiler: it wasn’t always a compliment!) 🕊️
• The importance of showing FRUIT 🌿—evidence that you belong to Jesus
• Why it’s crucial to EXAMINE your faith and not just assume you’re on the right path 🔍
• If you might be... 🧛‍♂️ a "vampire Christian"! Stick around to find out what THAT means! 🧛‍♀️➡️✝️

📖 We break down key scriptures like:

• John 15:5 🍇
