In a world of spin, manipulation, and headline outrage, trust is collapsing, and it’s fracturing community. In this episode of Untrained Philosophical Discussionists, Jonny Hanson and Andy Lamb sit down with Pastor Matt Sanders to unpack the ninth commandment: “Do not bear false witness.”This is not just “don’t lie.” It’s about how truth can be weaponized, how gossip and slander destroy people, and why a “small” exaggeration can poison your integrity. They break down the original courtroom context (no cameras, no forensics, no receipts) and why your reputation and words were literally life-or-death in ancient communities, then bring it straight into modern life: comment sections, social media, politics, and the temptation to stay silent when someone is misrepresented.

Most people think "thou shalt not steal" is about taking someone else's stuff. The Bible goes much deeper. In this conversation with Father Daniel Hickman, we explore the Eighth Commandment, trust in God, generosity, discipleship, greed, gossip, stewardship, and the hidden ways we take from others without realizing it. Whether you're a committed Christian, skeptical of faith, or simply searching for truth, this episode will challenge how you think about money, purpose, relationships, and what it means to follow Jesus.

What are modern graven images, and how do you know if something has quietly taken God’s place in your life?

The Ten Commandments can feel ancient, even outdated. But in this first episode of our Ten Commandments series, Andy Lamb, Jonny Hanson, and Pastor Mike Adkins (Grace Church Orlando) unpack why the first commandment is not just a rule, it’s a rescue.Exodus 20 starts with relationship, not a threat: “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.” We talk about why God starts there, how slavery shapes identity, and why “no other gods before me” is the foundation for every other command.We also connect the ancient world’s transactional gods to modern idols like money, success, security, relationships, and control. If an idol is anything that competes with your affection for God, then it also demands sacrifice. The question is: what is your life sacrificing to right now?

What is the church actually supposed to be and why do so many men feel stuck, disconnected, or uninvolved? In this episode, we answer real questions about faith, purpose, serving, and community. From the biblical definition of the church to why most people never take the next step, this conversation challenges passive belief and calls you into something deeper. Whether you're a Christian, skeptic, or just exploring faith, this will push you to rethink what it really means to follow Jesus and live it out.
