Who do you say God is? A friend? A jerk? A judge? A healer? A provider? So often, we reduce the Creator of the universe to a single role that suits our comfort, our desires, or our limitations. In this episode, we’ll dive into how we limit God's identity—choosing his mercy but rejecting his justice, calling him Father but ignoring his discipline, seeing him as our provider while forgetting his holiness. Let’s wrestle with the truth of who God is.

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.

Why does God allow suffering? Why does evil exist? Why do some people die while others live? These are the deep, soul-searching questions we all wrestle with at some point in our lives. In this episode, we explore the biggest "why" questions we have for God—questions about justice, suffering, and divine purpose. Join us as we confront the difficult realities of suffering, the fairness of God, and the ultimate question: Why did Jesus have to suffer? This episode challenges us to shift our perspective from questioning God's fairness to standing in awe of his wisdom, patience, and power.
