The Shut Up, Devil Show with Kyle Winkler

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.

Do you ever feel distant from God, even when you’re praying, reading, doing everything “right”? While the distance you feel isn’t real, that doesn’t mean it’s not worth understanding. In this episode, Kyle breaks down the science behind why so many Christians feel far from a God who literally lives inside them. Plus, a practical process for closing the gap between what you know is true and what yo...

You’ve heard that God loves you—so why don’t you feel it? Kyle gets honest about the gap between knowing God’s love and actually feeling it, unpacking the psychology behind why the brain rejects love, why knowing the right Bible verses doesn’t always change that—and what actually does.

Most us were taught that feelings are the enemy—something to deny, resist or just push though. But that’s actually making things worse! Discover where that idea came from (hint: it’s not in the Bible), why suppressing your feelings doesn’t produce healing, and what to do instead.

You’re exhausted trying to fix people: correcting family, policing friends, warning strangers. But that’s not your job. Kyle makes the case that kindness is more powerful than correction, and letting go of the “holiness police” role leads to more peace, stronger relationships, and surprisingly, more obedience to God.

Have you spent years trying to fix yourself for God, only to end up feeling more exhausted than free? Kyle teaches through his own story of how the pursuit of perfection through spiritual formulas, church programs, and sheer willpower makes you worse, not better—and what he discovered that actually works.

Most people picture Jesus’ crucifixion as satisfying an angry God. But the cross wasn’t about Jesus changing God’s mind about you. It was about changing your mind about God. Drawing from the events of Holy Week—from the Last Supper to Gethsemane to Golgotha—explore why no other method could demonstrate what Jesus came to prove.

The Christian life was never meant to be rule-led, routine-led or even Bible-led—but Spirit-led. Kyle unpacks why God’s desire has always been for us to live from union with Him, and how the Holy Spirit guides, grows and produces fruit in us better than any discipline ever could.

How do you find peace with yourself when you've believed something is wrong with you for as long as you can remember? Kyle shares his personal journey through self-doubt and shame—and the biblical truths that finally brought him lasting peace. Learn why low self-esteem forms early, how toxic coping patterns follow and the two foundational beliefs that begin the healing.

If you’ve built your spiritual life around confessing your sins and examining yourself for more, this message is going to challenge you. Kyle makes the case that constant sin-confession isn’t what the New Testament calls Christians to. The shift? Stop being sin-conscious. Start being Son-conscious.

What if the New Testament doesn’t actually start in Matthew? Join Kyle Winkler, Andrew Farley and John Lynch to uncover the Bible’s true dividing line, and why it changes how we read Jesus, understand spiritual warfare and see ourselves. (Originally released April 16, 2025)

Is prayer really about the right words, place or formula? Join Kyle to discover how to pray in light of the new covenant—a freeing, grace‑filled conversation with your loving Father that brings strength, renewal and rest.

The Bible is often treated like an instruction manual for life, but approaching it that way can leave you burdened, condemned and spiritually drained. Join Kyle to uncover Scripture’s true purpose—and the healing, freedom and strength that flow from using it correctly.

Despite knowing God, many Christians feel distant from Him, unsure if they’re truly wanted and loved. If shame, regret or fear have ever made you feel like God’s love has limits, this message is for you. Join Kyle to explore one woman’s encounter with Jesus’ love, which is sure to open the door for your own.

Much of what’s taught about “spending time with God” actually makes you feel farther from Him, not closer. Tune in as Kyle draws from early church history and biblical truth to correct one of religion’s most subtle lies: that time with God is something you have to schedule.

Ever consider that something good could become dangerous? That spiritual practice, routine or discipline might actually be working against you? Join Kyle as he explores the warnings in Scripture that most never hear, much less heed.

Are you struggling to feel loved—by God, others or even yourself? There’s a reason, and it goes deeper than you think. Counselors Jerry and Denise Basel join Kyle to uncover the hidden wounds that quietly shape how you see God, yourself and others.

You’ve heard that God’s love is unconditional. But that truth carries implications most people never hear. Join Kyle to unpack what unconditional love actually means, and why it reshapes everything about how we see God, faith and ourselves.

If God made us new... why do we still struggle? In this powerful and eye‑opening episode, Kyle tackles one of the most confusing—and often discouraging—questions Christians face: Why do sin, sickness, weakness and suffering continue even after we’re saved? Even after all our prayer, faith and effort?

Peace with yourself begins when comparison ends. Discover why measuring up—to others or even spiritual standards—kills life, and how God’s Spirit frees you to live as your unique self.

Tired of trying to grow or improve “enough” for God? Tune in as Kyle explains why your progress doesn’t worry God—and explores what truly helps change happen.
