If you’ve tried to stop lying (or stop hiding) and it never sticks, you’re not broken—you’re stuck in a process nobody taught you. In this episode, you’ll learn the biblical path out of the lie so you can walk in the light with courage, not shame. 

Why “just stop lying” isn’t transformation—it’s pressure and behavior modification 

The 3 stages of the path out of the lie: reveal the why → build safety → practice truth

How lying becomes a system (image management, approval addiction, fear of rejection) 

Why truth-telling is a muscle (a discipline you train) 

A simple weekly action plan: name your ground zero, find one trusted brother, do 7 days of truth reps 

The deeper stakes: lies don’t just distort facts—they distort identity
