There are some "harmless fun" philosophies that Christians should beware of—because they try to put us under a spell. Do you know your Zodiac sign? Are you superstitious? Do you know what or whom you're worshiping? Let's make sure we aren't under any spells and know how to avoid them altogether.

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.

REPLAY: Rule #2: Stop Planting Garbage Dec 26, 2023

Show notes

Here's a personal favorite episode from C.L. that first ran in November 2022. Enjoy while we're on break!

Another passage from Galatians 6 that C.L. has a tattoo of is a reminder to stop planting garbage. Destruction comes when we plant the wrongs things and our focus is in the wrong place. Weeds can grow almost anywhere; and especially in our culture, they will be prevalent. Godly growth takes time and intentionality.

Galatians 6:8
Galatians 6:1-10
Genesis 4:2-16
Acts 5:1-11

REPLAY: How to Friend Dec 19, 2023

Show notes

While we're on a short break, here's another of C.L.'s memorable episodes! This episode originally ran in December 2021.

Being a good friend takes a unique understanding of HOW, especially since some don't even want a friend—they want a person they can control and who allows them to feel more comfortable in being wrong. C.L. breaks down the special responsibility that goes with being a Christian friend.

Happiness Is Overrated Nov 28, 2023

Show notes

Chasing happiness can have you bouncing from one thing to another. How strong is your desire to be happy? The book of Philippians has some outstanding lessons and shows us there is something greater than happiness. Believe it or not, we as Christians can see why happiness is overrated and where to find something greater than worldly happiness.

Improve Your Conversations the Jesus Way Nov 21, 2023

Show notes

Observing different types of conversations is interesting. Sometimes people talk too much, and others want to avoid talking to them. Sometimes people seem as if they don't know what to say at all. How good do you think you are at conversing? This episode analyzes Jesus' conversational approach and considers an exchange that he had with an unlikely person. This conversation can help you notice some things about yourself.

The Guide to Starring in Your Own Movie of Life Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

Life is like a movie, and the main character in your life is none other than you. How much should you focus on yourself and embrace the mentality that you are the main character? And what should that look like? What script are you looking at? Who is the director of your life? However you may answer, don't forget about the actual star character in your life who is real and special.
