Simp, Saved, or Something Else

Send us Fan Mail SIMPS, SAVED, OR SOMETHING ELSE? — Full Disclosure Before we examine manhood, relationships, boundaries, sacrifice, and what it means to follow Jesus in 2026, I’m putting myself on the table first. This is my personal disclosure—what I’ve lived, what I’ve believed, what I’m questioning, and why after 40 years of preaching I’m willing to say, “I don’t have all the answers.” No gender war. No predetermined conclusions. Just an open Bible, an open heart, and an honest conversation. Pull up a chair. Let’s continue the conversation. Pastor Charles E.

Simp, Saved, or Something Else

Send us Fan Mail Simp. High-value man. Alpha. 50/50. What do you bring to the table? The language may be new, but the pain underneath it may not be. What if some of what we’ve been calling wisdom is actually woundedness? And how do we know the difference? No sides. No gender war. Just honest questions—and there’s a seat at the table for you. #SimpsSavedOrSomethingElse #TheTensionWhereTruthLives #WisdomOrWounds #Manhood #Relationships #FaithAndCulture #PullUpAChair #LetsContinueTheConversation Support the show Thetensionwheretruthlives.org

WHAT’S AT THE CENTER?

Send us Fan Mail Life is rarely 50/50. Sometimes we give more than we receive. Sometimes we carry others, and sometimes we need someone to carry us. But what happens when you’re overlooked, disappointed, or asked to give in a place where you didn’t receive what you thought you deserved? In this episode, we pull up a chair and have an honest conversation about giving, receiving, relationships, work, ambition, boundaries, and what it means to live a centered life. This isn’t preaching—it’s a conversation. What’s at the center of the life you’re living? #TheTensionWhereTruthLives #WhatsAtTheCenter #PastorCharlesHowse #PullUpAChair #CenteredLife #GivingAndReceiving #LifeInTheTension #Podcast #LetsContinueTheConversation Support the show Thetensionwheretruthlives.org

THE CHURCH IS MORE THAN A HOSPITAL

Send us Fan Mail Season One | Episode 14: The Church Is More Than a Hospital For years we’ve heard the phrase, “The church is a hospital.” But is that the whole story? In this episode, Pastor Charles Howse explores a thought-provoking question inspired by a different perspective: What if the church is more than a hospital? Through Scripture, experience, and honest reflection, he examines the many ways God describes His Church—and why no single metaphor can fully capture its beauty, purpose, or mission. Join the conversation as we discover that the Church isn’t meant to fit into one definition. It’s a place of healing, growth, belonging, and transformation. Because the Church is more than a hospital… it’s the living Body of Christ. #TheTensionWhereTruthLives #PastorCharlesHowse #Church #Faith #Healing #Discipleship #ChristianPodcast #SpiritualGrowth #BodyOfChrist #ConversationThatMatters Support the show Thetensionwheretruthlives.org

You Need Both

Send us Fan Mail Season One • Episode 13: You Need Both We spend so much of life chasing the positive and trying to avoid the negative. But what if the very things you’ve been praying away are part of what gives your life its strength? Using something as simple as a car battery, this episode explores an unexpected truth: without both the positive and the negative, there’s no power. Join Pastor Charles Howse for a conversation about pain, purpose, resilience, and how God can use every season of life—even the difficult ones—to produce something powerful. Sometimes the negative isn’t the end of your story… It may be what completes the circuit.

WHAT KEEPS YOU FROM GETTING UP

Send us Fan Mail Season One • Episode 12: What Keeps You From Getting Up? We've all been knocked down by something. Failure. Fear. Loss. Regret. Disappointment. But maybe the greatest question isn't what knocked you down... maybe it's what's keeping you from getting back up. In this episode of The Tension Where Truth Lives, Pastor Charles Howse explores the obstacles that quietly keep us stuck and reminds us that your setback may explain where you are... but it doesn't have to determine where you're going. If you've been waiting for the courage to begin again, pull up a chair. This conversation is for you.

WHERE DOES IT HURT?

Send us Fan Mail Where Does It Hurt? Every physician begins with the same question: Where does it hurt? Before healing can begin, the pain must first be acknowledged. In this episode, we explore why so many of us become experts at saying, “I’m fine,” while quietly carrying wounds no one else can see. This isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about finding the courage to tell the truth. Because healing often begins where honesty begins. #TheTensionWhereTruthLives #WhereDoesItHurt #Healing #MentalHealth #EmotionalHealth #Hope #PersonalGrowth #FaithAndLife #Podcast #PastorCharlesHowse #Truth #ConversationsThatMatter Support the show

THE CHURCH IS A HOSPITAL and sometimes the hospitals need healing too

Send us Fan Mail What happens when the place we go for healing needs healing too? That question became this audiobook. This isn’t about criticizing the church. It’s about loving the church enough to have an honest conversation. It’s about truth, grace, healing, and belonging. It’s for anyone who has ever loved God, carried pain, struggled to find their place, or wondered if anyone truly understands. Support the show
