The Shut Up, Devil Show with Kyle Winkler

Can’t get over rejection, no matter how hard you’ve tried? You might be healing only half of it. Kyle explains rejection’s two roots: one spiritual and one neurological. And why healing just one leaves the wound open. Drawing from scripture and brain research, he shares the one truth and one practice that helped him heal for real.

Finding it hard to forgive yourself for past mistakes, especially the ones you “should’ve known better” than to make? Kyle explains why self-forgiveness feels so hard for people who freely extend grace to everyone else. From Peter’s denial of Jesus to Paul’s past to a crooked step on his own staircase, you’ll learn how to give yourself the grace God already gives you. Plus, a simple declaration to say the next time you mess up. (Encore episode, originally released January 6, 2026.)

Discover why lies of guilt and shame drive our behavior, how sin can be a surprising gift, and why confession is our most powerful witness.

Struggling as a Christian? Feel like a failure no matter how hard you try? Many believers spend years fighting to become better Christians—more disciplined, less flawed, closer to perfect—only to end up exhausted, discouraged, and sure they’re falling short with God.
