"The Non-Microwaved Truth" is on microwave time, so we'll have a quick message today. If you are human, you’ll face temptation in your life. How are you handling it? Let’s learn how we can handle it, where we can run to, and how temptation is usually presented to us.

📖 Genesis 39
🔑 Genesis 39:9

What was Paul’s thorn in the flesh—and could it be the same kind of thorn you're dealing with today? Whether it's a hidden struggle, sexuality, a chronic condition, rebellious kids, a strained marriage, or unanswered prayers, this episode will unpack why God allows persistent pain to remain. Paul never names his thorn … maybe because God wanted you to see your own in the story. We'll talk about false gospels, real suffering, and what we can build our faith on. If you’ve ever felt like giving up, like you’re tired of always being strong, this episode’s for you. God's power shows up strongest in your weakness.

In this episode we'll confront some of the most overlooked yet damaging trends in the modern church—practices and portrayals that have become weaponized traditions. From the image of “White Jesus” to the interesting practices some churches have normalized, we'll explore why it matters that churches reflect the truth and not traditions that exclude or confuse.This episode isn’t about tearing the church down—it’s about calling the church up. Because when traditions start to eclipse truth, it’s time to rethink. Tap in for a necessary and honest conversation.

Culture constantly tells you to build—your brand, your business, your platform, your legacy. And while building isn’t wrong, there’s a quiet danger in letting what you built for God become what you worship instead of him. In this episode, we'll dive in to the subtle shift from honoring God to honoring ourselves. We won't call out the obvious idols only; we'll talk about the good things that start as tributes but turn into traps. If you've ever prayed for success, favor, or fruitfulness, this episode will help you examine whether your victories are still about God—or if they've slowly become about you.

About "The Nonmicrowaved Truth":

How fast do you have to have "IT"? Our culture tells us to find a microwave to speed up the process. C.L. Whiteside, a man who sees and hears multiple perspectives through his life of coaching sports, serving in education, and attempting to conform to Christ, searches for the nonmicrowaved truth. C.L. gets that what’s cool and acceptable now, may not be cool and acceptable tomorrow—and most importantly, may not be what’s best.

In this episode, we'll challenge the cultural confusion surrounding judgment. Judgment isn’t inherently wrong. In fact, we make over 35,000 judgments a day! The key difference is whether we’re judging to condemn or judging to restore. So stop misusing “do not judge,” and start learning how to judge correctly—because you're going to judge whether you like it or not.

In this episode we'll confront our addiction to activity and ask a hard question—Are we truly productive or just distracted? We'll explore how even good intentions can become spiritual roadblocks when we choose busyness over what Jesus calls “better.” From social media scrolling and constant multitasking to the pressures of family, work, and expectations, this episode will unpack how Jesus modeled stillness, prayer, and purposeful action—even in chaos. If you’re feeling drained, always tired, or struggling to prioritize God in a full schedule, it might be time to check if you’re worshiping the idol of bustling.
