Deep dives

The prevalence of lying

The podcast episode discusses the prevalence of lying and how almost everyone engages in lying to some extent. Whether it's lying to your boss, your kids, your parents, or your friends, lying is a common behavior. The main point is that we often lie to ourselves the most, with experts stating that we lie to ourselves dozens to hundreds of times every day. This self-deception can be detrimental, leading to the failure of New Year's resolutions and the focus on external behaviors rather than addressing the condition of our hearts.

You might be feeling a little pressure to change some things about yourself. Maybe you want to hit the gym, save money, or accomplish more at work. Instead of adding more New Year’s habits to your plate, what if you simplified instead?

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE

In new seasons, we often focus on what we should do more of. But sometimes, just need to simplify. In our series, Habits of a Healthy Heart, we'll take a deep breath, make space for God, and allow Him to work in our lives.
