Is it possible to be spiritually on fire but physically, mentally, or financially falling apart? This episode confronts a dangerous myth in Christian circles—that holiness means neglecting other parts of your life. We will dive into why followers of Jesus should stop settling for dysfunction in areas God clearly cares about and examine how imbalance in any one area can drag down the rest. God didn’t call you to be mediocre in every other area while being “super spiritual.” He wants your whole life.

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 confront a hard non-microwaved truth: Not everything culture celebrates is harmless. From viral mantras like “live your truth” and “do you” to deeper societal shifts around race, justice, identity, and pleasure—have we been drinking poison dressed in the clothes of freedom, fun, or fairness?
