Stop Lying Isn’t the Answer; Here’s the Path Out for Men

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
