In this episode, we'll dig into the feelings that make people pull away from church or feel unwelcome when they try to come back.

Whether or not you believe the miracles in the Bible are real or made-up stories, this thought has probably crossed your mind: “If I saw a miracle, that would make me believe or see God differently.” This episode challenges that idea by asking what truly would change if you did see a miracle and uncovers the often-overlooked truth about signs and belief. It invites you to consider whether there’s a veil over your eyes when it comes to seeing God and the miraculous.

Everybody talks about loyalty—to friends, to family, to culture—but what happens when that same loyalty pulls you away from God? In this episode, C.L. breaks down how loyalty can turn from love to destruction, why being “ride or die” for the wrong things can wreck your walk, and how to spot when your loyalty is killing your spirit instead of feeding your faith.

We love to say God is #1, but if we’re honest, most of us treat him like a sidepiece. In this episode, C.L. breaks down what true intimacy with God looks like—real connection, consistency, and communication, not convenience. From checking your spiritual health to learning how to claim God boldly, this convo challenges you to stop keeping him hidden and start living like he’s truly first in your life.

This episode tackles the questions almost everyone has about Christianity but rarely gets honest answers to — from “What is a good person?” to aliens, to why God judged entire cities in the Old Testament. It’s raw, real, and full of the kind of conversations people actually have when they’re searching for truth, not church clichés. If you’ve ever wrestled with faith or wanted to ask the questions Christians are scared to answer, this one’s for you.
