The Nonmicrowaved Truth With C.L. Whiteside

If you call yourself a believer or a Christian, how does your life compare to what God says in Deuteronomy 6? There’s a reason we should take this part of Scripture to heart—in this episode, C.L. challenges Christians to examine themselves through these words and remember what it means to live as God’s chosen people.

Bible Passages: Deuteronomy 6, Revelation 3:16

Temptation rarely shows up looking dangerous—it often sounds good, feels right, and may even contain a little truth. In this episode, C.L. breaks down the question Satan has been using since Genesis 3—“Did God really say?”—and why knowing God’s Word is essential to recognizing the traps hiding in plain sight.

Genesis 3
Jeremiah 17:9
Psalms 139:23-24

Are you following the real Jesus—or a version of Jesus you’ve reshaped to fit your lust, pride, comfort, greed, or lack of trust? It’s dangerously easy to create a Jesus who agrees with everything we already want, but the Jesus you created can’t save you. This episode challenges you to confront the Jesus of Scripture, examine what you really believe, and ask one uncomfortable question: Who are you actually following?

It’s easy to get distracted by everything demanding our attention and lose sight of what actually matters most.

In just two minutes, C.L. shares three quick reminders to help us put first things first, refocus our priorities, and make sure the most important things aren’t getting pushed aside by everything else.

Two minutes. Three reminders. Put first things first.

Church attendance is declining—and everybody seems to have an opinion about how to fix it. But what if one of the solutions Christians are being encouraged to embrace is actually NOT the answer?

In this episode, we take a quick look at what the church really needs—and why changing with the culture might not be the solution we think it is.

Conform to Christ, not to culture.

You don’t have to believe in God to experience certain great things in life… Do you know why that is?

However, there is one experience you absolutely do NOT want to face apart from God.

And unlike so many other things in this life, once it happens, there’s no going back.

Take two minutes and listen. This may be far more important than you think.

Are you Spirit-led—or led by some mess?

Why do you make the choices and decisions you make? Why are you operating the way you are? What’s actually leading you?

2 Timothy 1:7 gives Christians some powerful truths about the Spirit God has given us.

These are truths we can hold close to and allow to shape the way we live, think, and make decisions.

The question is: Are you?

What if the greatest wealth you've been searching for isn't money at all? In this thought-provoking conversation, two friends wrestle with a question that takes an unexpected turn: If someone knew the one truth that could change your life forever, would you want them to keep telling you—even if you didn't want to hear it? This episode explores the difference between temporary riches and eternal treasure.

What if the code you live by isn’t bringing you closer to Jesus—but actually pulling you further away?

Here’s the uncomfortable question: Could someone with no religious code at all actually be closer to God than you are?

Listen to this and examine what’s really guiding your faith—the living Christ or a code you’ve learned to follow.

Romans 3:23-24

Have you ever wanted something genuinely God-pleasing to happen—something that wasn't about your own glory—but it still didn't happen? In this episode, we examine Jesus' surprising answer to His disciples' failure and challenge you to see whether you're overlooking two major things in Scripture that can have a profound impact on your walk with Christ.
