In this episode, Carie tackles one of the most misunderstood and fear-inducing questions in Christianity: What is the unforgivable sin?

Jesus said there is one sin that will not be forgiven, but what did He really mean? Does it mean a believer can accidentally commit it? Is there a point where God refuses to forgive?

Through Scripture, Carie explores the true meaning of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, the role of the Holy Spirit in revealing Jesus as Savior, and why this passage is ultimately more about rejecting salvation than committing a specific act. Discover how God's forgiveness was fully paid for at the cross and why those who desire Jesus have no reason to live in fear.

If you've ever worried that you've gone too far, committed the unforgivable sin, or lost your chance at God's grace, this episode will bring biblical clarity, hope, and peace.

In this episode, Carie shares a prophetic message about Open Doors and how God is moving in your life right now. Through Acts 16, we are reminded that when God opens a door, it often comes with opposition, but that does not mean the door is not from Him.

Carie speaks on the reality of distraction, discouragement, and the pressure that tries to stop you from walking in obedience. These challenges can cause you to question what God has spoken, but they are not meant to stop your progress.

If God has opened a door for you, this is your confirmation to keep going, stay focused, and trust that He will carry you through everything that comes with it.

Why do so many people feel like they can’t trust God anymore?

In this episode of the Distorted Truth Podcast, Carie dives into one of the most common and deeply personal struggles in the Christian faith: the feeling that God has let us down. But what if the real issue isn’t God’s trustworthiness? What if it’s where we’ve been placing our trust all along?

Through relatable examples and grounded biblical truth, Carie challenges the belief that God must meet our expectations in order to be trusted. Drawing from passages like Proverbs 3:5–6 and Romans 8:28, she unpacks what it truly means to trust God based on His character rather than our circumstances.

If you’ve ever felt disappointed, confused, or let down by God, this episode will help you shift your perspective and rediscover what genuine, unshakable trust really looks like.

In this episode, Carie asks a challenging question: Is it actually biblical to say, “Whoever is meant to be here will be”?

She unpacks this common phrase often heard in Christian circles and examines how it can subtly shape our mindset around responsibility, prayer, and obedience. Through Scripture and real-life ministry experiences, Carie explores the tension between trusting God’s sovereignty and actively stepping in to intercede, invite, and show up for others.

Is this statement an expression of faith, or could it be leading us into passive thinking?

This episode invites you to think deeper about your role in what God is doing and challenges you to stay engaged, even when it’s uncomfortable.
