The Shut Up, Devil Show with Kyle Winkler

Brain scan studies have found what phrase works best to stop guilt, and it lines up with something Scripture has said for centuries. In this episode, Kyle Winkler breaks down the brain science behind guilt and explores the game changer for getting over it.

The rest you feel on vacation? It’s not meant to end. Kyle Winkler shows how to let rest in Christ influence your soul—your mind, will, and emotions. Through Bible study and his own story of trading years of performance-based faith for grace, you’ll discover how to truly live on vacation.

Learning how to forgive someone who hurt you starts with a surprising truth: stop trying. Kyle Winkler shares what he has learned about forgiveness that most churches don’t tell you, including why it’s not just a decision, not about their apology, and why understanding God’s grace for you is the real key to letting go.

Most Christian messages tell you to get better for God. This one makes the case that it’s the one thing you don’t need to do. In fact, trying to do that actually backfires. Kyle Winkler breaks down why you’re already blessed, already holy, and already complete with no effort required. If you’ve ever felt like you need to get better before God will use or bless you, this episode dismantles that belief with scripture and psychology.

If you’ve ever prayed for healing—of a sickness, a struggle, or something deep inside you that just feels broken—this message is for you. Kyle Winkler takes you back to the place where the real wound began, and then walks you through one of the most powerful healing stories in the Gospels to show you what Jesus actually came to fix.

What actually attracts God to you? It’s not your best behavior, your clean record or your strongest moments. And Kyle proves it from Scripture. Walking through the stories of Jesus, Kyle dismantles the idea that imperfection pushes God away and makes the case that weakness—including sin—is precisely what draws Him near.

Do you feel like God is disappointed in you? Your mistakes, your struggles, the things you can’t shake—do those change how God feels? Kyle Winkler and friends Andrew Farley, Susie Larson and Rick Manis say no, and they’ll show you why and what to do when that feeling hits.

The feeling that you’re not enough didn’t start with you, it started in Eden. And it’s been rewiring the human brain ever since. In this episode, Kyle traces it back to its roots, and shows you how to finally get free.

Is God angry? Distant? Waiting to punish you the next time you fail? Most people believe some version of that. But the Bible tells a completely different story. And the clues are hiding in plain sight.

You’ve been taught to fight. To prayer harder, fast longer, declare louder, do more. But what if that approach is hurting not helping? In this episode, Kyle explores four grace-based spiritual warfare strategies that will completely reframe how you think about the devil, starting with a revelation buried in Colossians 2 that most churches never talk about.
