Bubble Boy | Pronunciation: \ˈbə-bəl\ ˈboi\ | Function: noun

1. Anyone who person protects themselves in the bubble wrap of Christian community. They only have Christian friends. He is morally pure, loves Jesus, generous and has a willing Spirit, involved in lots of ministries.

2. He is pleasant and polite to his work colleagues, super efficient at work, never goes to after-work drinks for its too hard work and just can’t get his head around their desire to drink so much. She never engages with her colleagues on a personal level- the closest he comes to in doing this is when he tells them they should come to church.

3. He is often heard saying: ‘I don’t like hanging out with the people from work, I have nothing in common with them’.

4. He backs up her lifestyle with the bible verse: 1 Cor 15:33 “Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”

5. In doing this, He has a message to share but has no audience of non-Christians with which to share because he avoids relationships with them. He is ineffective in his witness not to mention unlike Christ in his compassion for the non-Christian: “When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd” Mark 6:34.
