Ep 056: Why Do Christians Say Amen?
Mar 2, 2026 • Jesse Hailey, Michael Moos, McKenzie Banks
Why do Christians end prayers with amen or say amen during sermons and worship? In this episode, we unpack what the word amen actually means, where it comes from in Scripture, and why it has been used by believers for thousands of years. We talk about whether amen is just tradition or something more meaningful, clear up misconceptions about it being a magic word, and discuss why some people say amen out loud while others do not. This episode helps deepen understanding of prayer and agreement with God rather than mindless repetition.
