What's the Dill?

You’ve got the habit trackers. The gym plan. The prayer routine. You’re “doing all the right things.” But underneath it all… you’re exhausted. In this episode, we talk about how self-improvement can quietly turn into self-punishment—and why God is inviting you to live at His pace, not the world’s pressure. If your spiritual life feels more like a checklist than a relationship, this one’s for you. We explore how hustle culture creeps into our faith, how to recognize the difference between discipline and shame, and how to rediscover peace in God’s presence, not your performance. 🕒 Key Highlights: 00:00 – Intro 02:40 – When Growth Becomes Exhausting 05:55 – Why You Don’t Have to Earn God’s Love 👂 Listen Now: Watch and Listen on Youtube, Apple, and Spotify! 📌 Connect with What’s The Dill: We aim to celebrate the everyday life of following Jesus, here at BackSeat Media.

Confess. Pray. Promise to change. Then… fall again.  If you’ve ever wondered why you keep repeating the same sins, this episode is for you. We dig into the real reason willpower alone doesn’t work—and why God isn’t just interested in fixing your behavior, but healing your heart at the root.  You’re not weak—you’re wounded. And until we let God into those deeper places, we’ll stay stuck in the same cycle of sin, shame, and self-reliance. This is a call to stop managing sin and start inviting Christ to transform it from the inside out.  🕒 Key Highlights: 00:00 – Intro 02:47 – Call Sin A Sin 08:14 – Triggers 12:10 – God is bringing us somewhere 👂 Listen Now: Watch or listen on Apple, Youtube, or Spotify! 📌 Connect with What’s The Dill: We aim to celebrate the everyday life of following Jesus, here at BackSeat Media.

Why is it so easy to trust what we see on social media—but so hard to trust God? In this episode, we dive into the reasons we often put more faith in algorithms, influencers, and curated content than in the Creator of the universe.
