The Distorted Truth Podcast
The Distorted Truth Podcast exists to confront the truth problem in modern Christianity. Too often, Scripture is misinterpreted, taken out of context, or taught without understanding the culture in which it was written, creating distorted beliefs that push people away rather than draw them closer to Christ. This podcast isn’t about comfort, it’s about challenge. The way Christians engage with the Bible must change. Truth needs to be restored through historical context, cultural insight, and careful, disciplined study. The Distorted Truth Podcast is dedicated to dismantling false narratives, correcting theological misunderstandings, and calling believers back to an authentic, uncompromised faith grounded in Scripture as it was originally intended.

It is one of the most difficult and emotional questions people wrestle with and one I once struggled to answer myself. Instead of offering polished theology, I went back to Scripture with a lens of learning, not knowing. I wrestled. I studied. I laid down my assumptions about love and about God.
In this episode, we build the foundation of free will, sin, holiness, salvation, and the truth about who actually save...
Does God still love me?
Most people answer that question based on feelings, not truth. In this episode of Distorted Truth, Carie addresses it directly.
Instead of reshaping God’s love to fit emotion, she defines love by Scripture. What does love actually look like? And where have we distorted it?
This episode cuts through assumptions and realigns love with truth. If you’ve questioned where you ...
In this episode of Distorted Truth, we explore how scripture can be twisted and misunderstood. Carie shares her personal journey from head knowledge to a true revelation of Jesus Christ. She examines how Satan distorts the truth today, as listeners join her in seeking God for clarity, deeper study, and unshakable faith.

We all have times in our life when waves come crashing down over us. When the storms of life can seem so overwhelming. Because we live in a broken, fallen world, there is no escaping trials but we can learn how to rest in God while going through trials. We can learn to rest like Jesus as he was sleeping in the stern of the boat while the disciples where panicking in Matthew 8:23-27.

In Matthew 14:30, Peter experiences walking on water because he was willing to get out of the boat. You can imagine how scary it must have been, as he put his foot out on the water. God calls many of us to step out in faith like Peter but so many of us let fear, doubt and unbelief dictate our actions leaving us stuck in the boat. We will never walk on water if we don't get out of the boat.

Do you struggle with anxious thoughts? Do you feel frustrated because anxiety seems to have a hold on you? Anxiety is real and when we are in the middle of it, it can often seem hopeless.
Take heart knowing there is freedom from anxiety in Christ. The Apostle Paul understood what it meant to have feelings of anxiety yet he also understood how to walk in the freedom Jesus paid for him to have. He lines out the detai...
Did you know when you say "yes" to Jesus; when you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you are instantaneously in right standing with God. So often we think in order to be in right standing with the Father we have to be perfect or at least not commit the "big" sins. The truth is there is nothing we can do to earn our right stan...
So many of us have questioned if we have purpose. We spend our lives trying different avenues in order to "discover" what it is. When doing this we find ourselves at the end of a road with no results. We need to understand that our purpose is not our calling. Our purpose comes from Matthew 22:34 where Jesus tells us the greatest commandment is to love God and love people. Our calling is simply how we walk that ...
The Apostle Paul knew what it was like to wrestle in not doing the things he wanted to do and doing the things he didn't want to do. He knew he couldn't save himself but he knew the One that did. He knew if it was up to him, he would stand condemned, but he also knew that Jesus paid for us not to. The truth is, if we are in Christ, we no longer stand condemned. We may have knowledge of this but need to learn wh...
We will all fail at times in our life. Rather it's failing to meet a goal we set, failing to show up on time to something, or failing by not being there for a loved one. When we fail, so many of us struggle thinking that our failures define us as a failure. The truth is we are not defined by what we do but who we are. In order to walk in confidence that we are not failures but more than conquerers, we need to learn ...
We all have a call on our life but sometimes we wonder if we are qualified to do what it is God is calling us to do. One thing we need to keep in mind is that it is not our job to qualify ourselves. God goes ahead of us and paves the way; he works out all the details and has everything lined up for us. Our job is to trust him, surrender, and rely on the Holy Spirit to guide and direct us.

Do you ever feel like God is mad at you or doesn't love you? So many people think that God's love is contingent on their circumstances, their feelings and their beliefs. The truth is that God's love is unconditional therefore it is not based on what is going on around us, how we feel or how we behave. The Bible tells us that "God is Love" (1 John 4:8), therefore He can't not love us. It is W...
Do you ever wonder what it means that you are a new creation in Christ? What does it look like to have a completely new identity in Christ once you surrender you life to Jesus? Join in for this nine week series based off Carie's book, "Identity Christ-Us". Carie will explain what it looks like to have a new identity in Christ and how to walk that out in your daily life.

The Greek word used in Matthew 17:5 talking about Jesus' being "transfigured" is the same word used in Romans 12:2 when Paul talks about us being "transformed" by the "renewing of our minds." God is calling us to be more like Jesus. He is calling us to live a higher life. A life that represents him by loving people.

When we are running our race, the enemy will try to stop us from doing the things God calls us to do. We need to learn how to endure so that we don't give up and throw in the towel before our race is finished. How do we do this? We look to the "pioneer of faith," Jesus, that went before us to pave the way for us. Studying how he endured all the way to the cross will help us have a better understanding of w...
When God calls us to do something we need to be determined to not give up or give in to the temptations of the enemy. Being determined means we settle or resolve the matter in our minds ahead of time. If we wait until we feel like it, we may never do the very thing God is calling us to do. We also need to check our motives when we are determined. We can have a worldly determination or a righteous determination. Checking ...
What does it mean to be immovable in Christ? It looks much like the other words the Amplified Classic Version of 1 Peter 5:8-9 uses to describe how to "withstand the enemy" and be "firm in the faith". It resembles being "rooted, established, and strong". What about being immovable in our attitude? What most of us don't realize is our attitude pours into our faith. If we have a bad attit...
When the enemy comes against us, so often we think we need to be strong in and of ourselves. We think it is in our strength that withstands him. The problem is "our flesh is weak" (Matthew 26:41). But it is in our weakness that God's power is made perfect (2 Corinthians 12:9). We need to learn to rely on God's strength, not our own. We do this by first admitting we can't. Then we pray, ask for h...
The second thing we can do to “withstand” the enemy, as Peter tells us in 1 Peter 5:9, is to be established in Christ. Although we are established in Christ when we first surrender our lives to Jesus, we often begin to rely on other sources to build our lives on. The Lord wants us to hand Him back the reins in every area of our lives. Not because He is a mean, controlling God but because He knows the foothold we give the...
