The Nonmicrowaved Truth With C.L. Whiteside

Every year you get older—but does that automatically mean you're becoming more like Christ? In this episode, we compare the marks of spiritually mature and immature Christians, challenge some of the most common misconceptions about growth, and ask the uncomfortable question every believer should answer: Which Christian are you?

C.L. joins Charlie Ungemach on the Gird Up Podcast for a conversation that's especially important for anyone trying to follow Jesus in today's culture. They talked about the pressures facing young Christians, navigating identity in a world that constantly tries to redefine it, standing firm when your faith is unpopular, and why your identity in Christ—not culture—is your greatest confidence. If yo...

As Christians, we need to stay informed about the rapidly changing world of fertility treatments, genetic testing, and IVF before making decisions or forming opinions. Join C.L. as we explore the powerful story behind the Boozer family, wrestle with difficult questions about life, embryos, technology, and God's will, and seek biblical wisdom for navigating one of the most important ethical convers...

While the world celebrates Pride Month, Christians must be careful not to focus on one visible sin while becoming blind to the pride, immorality, drunkenness, gossip, dishonesty, and worldliness that often exist in our own lives. God calls His people not to celebrate or excuse sin, but to expose the deeds of darkness and find their identity, confidence, and joy in Jesus Christ alone. The rainbow i...

What if the most loving thing isn't the comment everyone else is leaving? Before you hit "proud of you," "you look beautiful," or "live your truth," ask yourself: are you encouraging someone toward life, or cheering them further into the very thing that's destroying them—and what does God think about it? #ChristianTikTok #ChristianReels #JesusChrist #BibleTruth #BiblicalTruth #ChristianPodcast #Fa...

Before visiting a church or following an online pastor, make sure you ask the hard questions about who Jesus is, how salvation works, and whether the church stands on biblical truth or cultural compromise. In this episode, C.L. Whiteside breaks down five red-flag beliefs that should make you run from any church that twists Scripture, promotes deception, or leads people away from the truth that set...

People try crystals, zodiac signs, self-help, manifestation, religion, and everything else to change their lives… But there’s only ONE name that makes demons tremble. Only ONE name that breaks chains. Only ONE name that truly saves and transforms people.

In this episode of The Nonmicrowaved Truth , we tackle one of the biggest things confusing new Christians or people interested in Christianity today: mixed signals from people who claim to follow and love Jesus. One moment it’s “God is good,” and the next it’s glorifying sin, and living no different from the world. We talk about hypocrisy, abusing grace, being Spirit-led, and why Christianity isn’...

In this episode, C.L. dives into the power of music and the impact it has on our hearts, minds, and souls. Sharing the 12 artists he’s listened to the most over the past year, he reflects on how music shapes emotions, influences our thinking, and has played a powerful role throughout the Bible. If music is food for the soul, the question becomes: what are we feeding ourselves? Tune in for a quick,...

Heaven and hell spark strong opinions—but most of us may be asking the wrong question entirely. This episode challenges a deeply held assumption that changes everything. Luke 16 Romans 10:17 #heavenandhell  #christianpodcast  #faithquestions  #truthaboutGod  #JesusandLove

What if the very thing pushing you away from God isn’t actually Him—but something (or someone) He warned you about? Before you walk away completely, you might want to rethink what’s really going on behind the scenes.  Matthew 7:15-16 John 8:31-32 #ChurchHurt #FaithOverFeelings #RealTalkFaith #DontQuitGod #SpiritualGrowth

Every day, we’re all carrying something in our mental backpack—mindsets, beliefs, and cultural pressures that shape how we react.

Don’t waste the difficult seasons meant to shape you. Check your environment—because transmission is always happening… the question is, do you know how?

Is this reckless behavior—o...

Are you in a wilderness season because God led you there… or because of your own choices?

Rooted in a message of love rather than division, it explores critical questions within Islam that deserve honest reflection, inviting listeners to think deeply rather than react defensively.

Strength doesn’t grow where truth is ignored. In this episode, C.L. challenges listeners to recognize how easily culture can normalize things that slowly weaken our convictions—and why men like Luke Kornet and Dee-1 refusing to stay silent might matter more than people think. Are we strong enough to stand when something feels “small,” or are we being conditioned not to notice at all? Ephesians 4:1...

Before you scroll, ask yourself who you’re really glorifying. Are you getting caught thinking trends are okay when they’re not? If that question makes you pause, press play.

Unity isn’t color blindness; it’s Christ-centered—and order matters. Faith and culture can coexist, privilege exists, and Black fatigue is real—but none of those come before Jesus. The greatest privilege we can ever have is being made alive and called children of God. #ChristCentered #ChristianUnity #FaithFirst #FaithAndCulture #BlackHistoryMonth #GenZFaith #JesusChangesEverything #KingdomFirst #R...

What do you think of the idea that you should "follow your heart"? It’s time to lead with discernment, obedience, and purpose instead of listening to our feelings and the world. When it comes to fostering relationships, invite wisdom from God and trusted voices from friends and family (especially when it comes to finding a boo). Proverbs 16:9 Jeremiah  Lamentations #ChristianDating #FollowGodNotYo...

The Bible shows that when we lack sobriety and self-control, we open doors to deception, spiritual danger, and even demonic behavior. That’s why having people hold you accountable when it comes to quitting is so powerful. Accountability isn’t about control; it’s about protection, discipline, and true freedom.

If you’ve ever questioned faith, truth, or the Bible’s credibility, this is for you.   #Ch...
