We all have skeletons in our closets (things we're ashamed of, embarrassed about, things we want to bury and act like they never happened). If you think you don't have any skeletons, I can guarantee you that someone close to you does. Our skeletons are disgusting, but how we deal with them shapes our view and walk in life. They may lead you to think you're a fraud or that you are better than you are. This episode looks at someone who became an expert at dealing with skeletons and will show the importance of having some go-to anthems to turn to.

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.

Who doesn’t love a good movie, TV show, or book? It’s entertaining, it keeps our attention, and it oftentimes gets us to place ourselves in a character’s position. The Bible has this same effect (if you actually read it). The book of Judges is one of those books of the Bible you may not be very familiar with, but it contains a collection of historical events that record superhero-like men and women empowered by God. It’s better than a comic book or a great TV show, and it contains events that really happened! Like all the greats, it contains impactful lessons.

It is a major struggle to balance personal beliefs with societal expectations, particularly regarding “love is love.” This episode challenges the notion of accepting behaviors that contradict biblical teachings, emphasizing the importance of standing firm in one's faith and adhering to the commandments of God. Followers of Christ have to question the modern interpretation of love. Through Scripture and personal reflection, let’s prioritize spiritual fulfillment over worldly acceptance—and commit to God even in the face of societal pressure.

On a scale of 1 to 100, 100 being the best, how would you rate yourself in goodness? The phrase "He/she is such a good person" is pretty common, and there is usually a common understanding when it is said about someone. But what makes someone "good" in God's eyes? Sometimes we blame the devil for tempting us into not being good when we should be looking at some commonalities we share with every single person on earth. Looking at those commonalities can give us a new appreciation for God's great grace.

God's Old Testament people, the Israelites, chose to create an idol in the form of a golden calf and worship it. This may sound stupid to us, but at times we are just like the Israelites. History repeats itself all too often. Our culture has made an idol out of having fun and getting lit; the Israelites could relate. Is getting lit the new golden calf? What golden calves are you creating in your life? This episode discusses why we create idols and the consequences of them.

People are told to be self-aware of their thoughts and feelings. There is an even deeper self-analyzation that can take place though: self-analyzing one's spirit. Never underestimate the importance of regular self-examination, questioning one's motives, sins, and being real on where your relationship with God is. Through Scripture and personal reflection, this episode looks at striving for a steadfast spirit.
