The worst kind of friend is one who is really an undercover enemy. A person may be a friend in one aspect and an enemy in another, but how do you distinguish the difference? We have to beware of our greatest frenemy. Likewise, we have to be thankful for our greatest Friend, who has undoubtedly proven his dedication to us.

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.

Is it OK to build a relationship on lies? Well, I guess it depends, because people are now being pressured to call a man a woman and vice versa if that's what a person wants. Culture wants to dictate our feelings and attitudes and will go to great lengths to do this. There are some movements that are geared toward making us allies with the wrong groups and distancing us from our most valuable and important relationship. God wants to dictate our feelings and attitudes as well, and this episode reminds us of the great lengths that he went through for us all.

LGBTQ+ Pride Month is here. This group has done an effective job of gaining more rights, standing proud for what they believe in, and pushing their agenda. This has gone so far that many people do not want to be called homophobic. At the same time, more and more groups and agendas are trying to get rid of Christ and the gospel. Believe it or not, there's something people should fear more than being called homophobic, and that is being Christphobic.

The most famous people in our world today don't compare to the most famous person of all time. Who is the most famous person of all time and why? He's not just someone Christians think of. Even other big-time influencers can't deny his impact and influence. See what the most famous person ever offers that can't be matched by anyone else.

In today's world, should we be quiet about our allegiance to Christ? Is it easy for others to see that we are followers of Jesus? Some of us are quiet about being Christian—we're "in-the-closet Christians" because we don't want to "offend" anyone or be canceled, even though we may say or think we've been hiding in the closet for legit reasons. Let's take a real look at if you've been an in-the-closet Christian.

Philippians 4:13 is a popular passage: "I can do all things through him who strengthens me." But it's also an often misunderstood passage and ends up being misused, leading many to rely on themselves. To understand, we need to focus on who is meant by "him" in the passage. And you might be surprised to learn where the biblical author was when he wrote this sentence and why he was so content.

How do you know if something is a description or a prescription? This can be confusing to decipher in the Bible. But believe it or not, most people determine if it's prescription or description based off a lack of understanding or a hope to do something that actually goes against God's Word. The Bible tells us what is good and what is bad, but we have to actually look at what it says to confirm these facts.

CAUTION: Beware of what comes from your heart. When it comes to who or what we're passionate about, what we desire, or our purpose, following our hearts can only be reliable if our hearts are linked to a specific source. Find out what following your heart does and doesn't mean in the life of a Christian.

A phrase used by late rapper Tupac Shakur has had a unique meaning in our culture: "only God can judge me." Uppity, judgmental people rub so many the wrong way, but as Christians are we supposed to judge? God is the ulitmate Judge, and there are many passages in the Bible that discuss judging, rebuking, and correcting others. Evaluate how true or false that phrase should be in a Christian's life.

Not understanding the ways of God has caused some to reject him. As Christians, there are some applicable things we can do to feed our faith. It's OK not to understand everything or be able to explain every detail of a perfect God because it doesn't take away from facts or truth.
