After all that, you might be wondering if there’s anything left. The answer is surprising: Baptists genuinely struggle with being lukewarm. They can’t do “maybe.” They can’t do “I’ll get back to you.” When a Baptist is all in, they are all the way in. They can’t half-love a cake recipe, a choir song, or a friend in need. That’s exhausting for some, but for them, it’s the only way to live.

They can’t hide their emotions. Go to a good baptist service, and you’ll see tears, laughter, and the loudest “Amen!” you’ve ever heard. They can’t pretend everything is fine when it isn’t. They bring casseroles and prayer, often in that order. They can’t stay cynical for long. Their whole system is built on a radical, hopeful, “next Sunday is a fresh start” kind of joy.
