    In this episode, Mike and James respond to a recent semi-viral video pushing back on one of Mike’s sermons.

Their conversation also raises a deeper question—can a system built on perfect performance live up to its own standards?

    Continuing their conversation on spiritual bypassing, James and Mike examine how Christian culture can unintentionally reward performance while neglecting inner health.

Phrases like “I’ll pray about it” or “God’s in control” can sound deeply spiritual...but sometimes they function as a way of stepping back from hard decisions, uncomfortable emotions, or the work we’re actually being invited to do.
