Description
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.

This episode confronts ego-driven branding and recenters creators, leaders, and everyday believers on obedience, humility, and advancing God’s kingdom over personal platforms.

What You Have to Cut Off to Stay Alive calls listeners to seriously examine what Jesus meant when He spoke about cutting off limbs and gouging out eyes for the sake of true life.

Are you happy? What do you think is missing in your life? This episode challenges the way you think about happiness.

In this episode, we'll dig into the feelings that make people pull away from church or feel unwelcome when they try to come back. Whether you’ve restarted habits a hundred times or you’re walking into church for the first time in years, we'll break down what it means to have “prodigal son energy.” If you’re tired of overthinking, hiding, or waiting for the “right moment,” hit play—this is your time to show up and start now.Luke 15:11-32TikTok: @CLWhiteside Instagram: @Championlife23
Whether or not you believe the miracles in the Bible are real or made-up stories, this thought has probably crossed your mind: “If I saw a miracle, that would make me believe or see God differently.” This episode challenges that idea by asking what truly would change if you did see a miracle and uncovers the often-overlooked truth about signs and belief. It invites you to consider whether there’s a veil over your eyes when it comes to seeing God and the miraculous.John 20:25John 21:25John 20:29Luke 16:27-31Romans 1:20TikTok: @CLWhiteside Instagram: @Championlife23
Everybody talks about loyalty—to friends, to family, to culture—but what happens when that same loyalty pulls you away from God? In this episode, C.L. breaks down how loyalty can turn from love to destruction, why being “ride or die” for the wrong things can wreck your walk, and how to spot when your loyalty is killing your spirit instead of feeding your faith.Matthew 22:37–391 Corinthians 15:33Galatians 1:10Ephesians 5:11Mark 8:35–38Lamentations 3:22,23Don’t forget to subscribe to the YouTube channel! http://youtube.com/@thenonmicrowavedtruthTikTok @CLWhitesideInstagram @ChampionLife23
We love to say God is #1, but if we’re honest, most of us treat him like a sidepiece. In this episode, C.L. breaks down what true intimacy with God looks like—real connection, consistency, and communication, not convenience. From checking your spiritual health to learning how to claim God boldly, this convo challenges you to stop keeping him hidden and start living like he’s truly first in your life. Exodus 20:5 1 Samuel 12:24 Psalm 95:1–3 Ezekiel 36:26,27 Galatians 5:22,23 1 John 2:4–6 Jeremiah 29:13 Luke 2:46 Psalm 46:10 Romans 8:26 Psalm 139:23,24
C.L. talks about what’s been helping him up his prayer game. Whether you’ve been wondering how to pray or feel like you’ve already got it down, this episode will challenge you to check your heart—Are you aiming for superficial perfection or life-changing connection with God?Psalm 46:10Luke 5:16Romans 8:26
This episode tackles the questions almost everyone has about Christianity but rarely gets honest answers to — from “What is a good person?” to aliens, to why God judged entire cities in the Old Testament. It’s raw, real, and full of the kind of conversations people actually have when they’re searching for truth, not church clichés. If you’ve ever wrestled with faith or wanted to ask the questions Christians are scared to answer, this one’s for you.

Tune in Wednesday, November 18th, for two new episodes of the Nonmicrowaved Truth!
From youth camps to the NBA—this one comes full circle! 🏀 Host C.L. Whiteside sits down with his former player turned Duke standout and now Charlotte Hornets rookie, Kon Knueppel. They talk hoops, humility, and how to stay locked in on Christ when the world is worshiping fame. This isn’t your typical sports interview. It’s real talk, real faith, and "The Non-Microwaved Truth." 🔥
We love to make promises we can’t keep—swearing to God, making deals, or vowing things we were never asked to. But God’s promises? They actually hit different because he keeps every single one. This episode unpacks why our vows fall short and why trusting God's Word changes everything.Acts 5Judges 11
Let’s get real—Sexuality in our culture is broken. Straight, gay, married, single ... none of us makes it out untouched. God’s Word doesn’t ignore it. He exposes the damage AND offers a better design. From wild biblical family drama to today’s headlines, we’ll dive into desire, identity, intimacy, and the cross-shaped life Jesus calls ALL of us to live. We’ll unpack how we feed the brokenness, why chasing happiness leaves us empty, and how deeper intimacy with Christ brings healing, transformation, and purpose whether single or married.Mark 10Matthew 19Song of Songs1 Corinthians 7:32–34Judges 8:30Genesis 19Genesis 38 (Judah, Tamar, Onan)Luke 2:41–50Mark 10:45Matthew 6:33Romans 12:2Mark 8:34,35James 5:16Subscribe to CL's new YouTube channel! http://youtube.com/@thenonmicrowavedtruth

What was Paul’s thorn in the flesh—and could it be the same kind of thorn you're dealing with today? Whether it's a hidden struggle, sexuality, a chronic condition, rebellious kids, a strained marriage, or unanswered prayers, this episode will unpack why God allows persistent pain to remain. Paul never names his thorn … maybe because God wanted you to see your own in the story. We'll talk about false gospels, real suffering, and what we can build our faith on. If you’ve ever felt like giving up, like you’re tired of always being strong, this episode’s for you. God's power shows up strongest in your weakness.2 Corinthians 12:6-10Matthew 16:23-25Philippians 3:20,21Romans 5:3-5
