We love to say God is #1, but if we’re honest, most of us treat him like a sidepiece. In this episode, C.L. breaks down what true intimacy with God looks like—real connection, consistency, and communication, not convenience. From checking your spiritual health to learning how to claim God boldly, this convo challenges you to stop keeping him hidden and start living like he’s truly first in your life.

This episode tackles the questions almost everyone has about Christianity but rarely gets honest answers to — from “What is a good person?” to aliens, to why God judged entire cities in the Old Testament. It’s raw, real, and full of the kind of conversations people actually have when they’re searching for truth, not church clichés. If you’ve ever wrestled with faith or wanted to ask the questions Christians are scared to answer, this one’s for you.

Tune in Wednesday, November 18th, for two new episodes of the Nonmicrowaved Truth!

From youth camps to the NBA—this one comes full circle! 🏀 Host C.L. Whiteside sits down with his former player turned Duke standout and now Charlotte Hornets rookie, Kon Knueppel. They talk hoops, humility, and how to stay locked in on Christ when the world is worshiping fame. This isn’t your typical sports interview. It’s real talk, real faith, and "The Non-Microwaved Truth." 🔥

We love to make promises we can’t keep—swearing to God, making deals, or vowing things we were never asked to. But God’s promises? They actually hit different because he keeps every single one. This episode unpacks why our vows fall short and why trusting God's Word changes everything.

Acts 5
Judges 11

Let’s get real—Sexuality in our culture is broken. Straight, gay, married, single ... none of us makes it out untouched. God’s Word doesn’t ignore it. He exposes the damage AND offers a better design. From wild biblical family drama to today’s headlines, we’ll dive into desire, identity, intimacy, and the cross-shaped life Jesus calls ALL of us to live. We’ll unpack how we feed the brokenness, why chasing happiness leaves us empty, and how deeper intimacy with Christ brings healing, transformation, and purpose whether single or married.
