In this episode we'll challenge a culture that celebrates and claps for empty victories. Are our compliments reinforcing pride, vanity, and disobedience? We'll wrestle with how worldly applause can lure us into spiritual traps and explore how to develop discernment. It's time to rethink what (and whom) we celebrate—and ask if we're addicted to applause ourselves.

About "The Nonmicrowaved Truth":

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.
