    456: When “Safe Spaces” Sabotage Growth. Katie Davis Majors on False Cliché Christianity, Preventing Bitterness in Your Heart, and When Empathy Hinders Transformation

    We say we want transformation, but often we create environments that protect people from pain instead of preparing them for growth. In the process, we enable spiritual stagnation, emotional fragility, and shallow discipleship. This week on Win Today, Katie Davis Majors exposes the hidden dangers of well-meaning empathy, the false security of “safe spaces,” and the clichés that erode authentic faith. In this conversation, we’ll also tackle how to live faithfully in the tension between what God has promised and what we see right now. If you’ve ever found yourself numbing pain instead of processing it, or if you’ve settled for comfort instead of maturity, this conversation will challenge you to grow, even when it costs you.

  2. 455: You Don’t Get a Hall Pass from Pain. ESPN’s Lauren Sisler Exposes “Rah-Rah” Christianity, Why Avoidance Costs Us More Than Facing Pain Head-On, and Curating Our Image as Armor

    455: You Don’t Get a Hall Pass from Pain. ESPN’s Lauren Sisler Exposes “Rah-Rah” Christianity, Why Avoidance Costs Us More Than Facing Pain Head-On, and Curating Our Image as Armor

    We all want to overcome, but too often, we curate our pain out of view—tidy it up, slap a spiritual platitude on top, and hope time heals what we never confronted. This week on Win Today, ESPN’s Lauren Sisler reveals what happened when her life fell apart at 18. She buried both of her parents just hours apart. And in the wake of that trauma, she didn’t get a “hall pass” from grief. She didn’t get a spiritual fast-forward button. She had to live every moment of it, raw and real. In this powerful conversation, we take on the lies of “rah-rah Christianity,” the armor of image management, and the emotional expense of avoidance. If you’ve ever wondered why God didn’t spare you from the pain… or why it still lingers even though you “moved on,” this episode will meet you where you really live.

    454: Comfort Is KILLING You. Tim Timberlake on The Crisis of Convenience, Why God Doesn’t Live Up to Our Expectations, The Problem with Rushing Through Grief, Why God Doesn’t Live Up to Our Expectations, and Manufacturing Breakthrough

    There’s a kind of rest that is still ravenous, and comfort alone is costing your soul more than you think. This week on Win Today, Tim Timberlake joins me to name the central lie of our era: that convenience equals progress. God rarely fits into the narrative designed by self‑help culture, and grief is rarely the speed bump we’re told. When breakthrough is packaged and delivered, it disconnects you from the transformative power of pain. Tim unpacks why immediate comfort doesn’t heal—it anesthetizes. Why rushing through grief doesn’t preserve strength—it fractures your future. And why so many believers craft manufactured breakthroughs that collapse when real life tests them. If your fast-track faith feels flat…if comfort makes you morally weaker…or if you've chased progress more than presence, this episode confronts the real cost, and invites deeper formation.

  4. 453: You’re Not Humble, You’re Hiding. Dr. Les Parrott and Judah Smith Unpack How Humility Becomes Self-Hatred, The Nuclear Power of Spiritual Bypassing, and Why Your Job is Not to Heal Publicly

    453: You’re Not Humble, You’re Hiding. Dr. Les Parrott and Judah Smith Unpack How Humility Becomes Self-Hatred, The Nuclear Power of Spiritual Bypassing, and Why Your Job is Not to Heal Publicly

    There’s a humility you carry like baggage, and it’s slowly wearing you down. This week, Dr. Les Parrott and Judah Smith join me to dismantle the false humility that masquerades as godliness while laundering shame. Humility becomes self-hatred when vulnerability is avoided and spiritual high-mindedness is mistaken for healing. Layer on top the epidemic of spiritual bypassing—pretending everything is okay—and you get a reluctance to ever speak pain. We unpack why your job is not to heal publicly, how real accountability looks different than performance, and why refusing to stay in the box of pretense is the most subversive spiritual act you can commit. Whether you’ve preached from the platform or hidden behind faith walls, this episode cuts through your shame fortress and lights a path to emotional and spiritual freedom.

    452: STOP GASLIGHTING YOURSELF. Toni Collier on Emotional Infidelity, Spiritual Manipulation, and the Prison of Isolation

    There’s a lie you’ve turned into identity—that you must perform vulnerability to earn belonging. This week, Toni Collier joins me to pull the veil off emotional infidelity hidden in silence, the orphan wounds we carry in isolation, and the spiritual manipulation we excuse as authenticity. She’s walked through heartbreaking betrayal, spiritual misuse, and the long deconstruction of self‑worth in ministry circles. And she has found that true vulnerability isn’t performative—it’s sacred, grounded, sacrificial, and healing. In this episode, we dismantle the theology of emotional scarcity, expose spiritual control disguised as care, and confront the cost of emotional isolation. Toni challenges common assumptions: that therapy alone solves trauma, that forgiveness equals denial, that age or faith automatically heals wounds. This conversation calls you home to integrity, community, and emotional wholeness. Episode Links Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

  6. 451: What’s Breaking You Isn’t the Pain, It’s the Pattern. Ed Latimore on Emotions, Distorted Thinking, and Toughness That Won’t Heal You

    451: What’s Breaking You Isn’t the Pain, It’s the Pattern. Ed Latimore on Emotions, Distorted Thinking, and Toughness That Won’t Heal You

    There’s an architecture to dysfunction. It starts with broken beliefs about who you are, and it becomes lifestyle chaos. This week, Ed Latimore joins me to dismantle that architecture from the inside out. A former heavyweight boxer turned Stoic philosopher, physicist, and master of emotional discipline, Ed knows what happens when discipline outruns self-awareness and toughness becomes armor, not healing. We go deep on how distorted thinking drives destructive behavior; how emotional regulation isn’t about feeling control—it’s predictive science; and why optimism without realism becomes denial. This episode is a surgical blueprint for rethinking how you think, feel, and engage with life’s stress. If you're tired of overthinking, overdoing, and still not seeing change, listen closely. Because transformation begins the moment you question what you're telling yourself about your own strength, your pain, and your beliefs.

    450: You’re Talking Too Much. Jefferson Fisher on Ending Arguments, Spotting Manipulation, and Reclaiming Authority in Conversations

    This week, Jefferson Fisher—a trial lawyer turned communication expert—walks us through why the art of slowing down a conversation is more powerful than shouting louder. He unpacks the truth about overexplaining, reveals why emotional manipulation often hides in plain sight, and shows how minor shifts can resolve arguments faster than any volume ever could. Jefferson also challenges the lie that talking proves knowledge. Instead, he shows why restraint builds trust, clarity, and real influence. If you’ve ever found yourself talking in circles, replaying conversations in your head, or trying to shout down someone else, this episode will give you the tools to stop reacting and start leading.
