In this episode of The Enemy Within, we blow the lid off one of the most stubborn myths in modern Christianity: the idea that worship music has to sound a certain way—soft, polished, and “safe”—to actually be Christian. We talk about a podcast we’ve been obsessed with lately that features the Christian deathcore band Impending Doom. That’s right—brutal breakdowns, guttural vocals, blast beats—and every lyric drenched in Scripture and the Gospel. It’s a perfect example of what happens when the Church encounters music that sounds like “devil music” but preaches Jesus louder than most Sunday morning anthems. We unpack the knee-jerk stereotypes Christians slap on any genre with distortion, harsh vocals, or aggression… even when the message is crystal clear and God-glorifying. We also get real about the elephant in the sanctuary: most contemporary worship music is written in vocal ranges so high that the average man can’t sing it without feeling ridiculous. It’s heavily feminized, emotionally driven, and unintentionally geared toward female worshippers—leaving a huge chunk of the body of Christ on the sidelines. Take a moment and listen to Skillet’s powerful rock-ballad version of “O Come, O Come Emmanuel.” It’s raw, beautiful, massive, and undeniably glorifying to God. Yet plenty of believers immediately branded it “devil worship” because of the guitars, the intensity, and the edge in the vocals. We ask the question out loud: When are we going to realize that different styles of music can glorify God just as powerfully, reach people the Church is currently missing, and carry the Gospel into places soft acoustic sets never will?It’s time to stop rejecting entire genres because of how they sound and start judging the fruit instead. If the lyrics exalt Christ, maybe the “devil music” label says more about us than it does about the song.Tune in. You might just discover that the real enemy within isn’t the distorted guitar—it’s our own narrow definition of what “sounds Christian.”We appreciate you taking the time to listen to this podcast.

David and Casey are sharing way too much with y’all! That’s what happens when Payton leaves them unsupervised!In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the podcast, David and Casey discuss the long, winding road of infertility. A subject many couples know all too well. Each sharing powerful stories ending in dramatically different ways.First, we hear from David. He and his wife spent four grueling years trying to conceive. They tracked cycles, changed diets, underwent every test and treatment available, prayed, cried, and nearly gave up. Then, when they had almost stopped hoping, pregnancy happened—naturally, unexpectedly, and perfectly. Nine months later they welcomed a healthy baby into the world. Their story is one of persistence, resilience, and that rare, joyful moment when everything finally clicks.Next, we hear from Casey, whose journey with his wife began with the same hope and struggle. After months of trying for their second child, he and his wife finally saw those two pink lines. But at 21 weeks, their baby died in utero. The stillbirth shattered their dreams in an instant. What followed were months of more treatments, more waiting, more heartbreak—and ultimately, the painful realization that they would never conceive again. The story explores grief, the search for meaning after loss, and how a marriage survives when the future you planned no longer exists.Raw, honest, and unflinching, this episode doesn’t sugarcoat the emotional toll of infertility or pretend every story has a fairy-tale ending. Instead, it holds space for both miracles and unanswered prayers, reminding listeners that they are never alone in the waiting, the wondering, or the healing that comes after. Whether you’re on this journey yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply want to understand the complex realities of building a family, this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.We appreciate you taking the time to listen to this podcast.
