“How to Stop Lying”

Season 03 | Episode 01

Have you ever told a lie? Whether you’ve pretended to play the tuba in your high school performance or convinced the entire community that you’re afraid of a vegetable, if you’re honest, you’ve probably told a lie or two. In this episode, Pastor Louis and Pastor Karissa help uncover some of the lies that we tell that may not be so easy to spot and help us learn how to just….stop!

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Lies we tell:
  • White Lies: These are the seemingly small lies we tell in a passing moment to make us appear cooler, help us fit into the group we’re talking to, or help us get out of a certain situation. Although they seem small, we know that the small decision to tell a lie is a big decision in disguise.
  • Life Lies: These lies are a little bit of a bigger deal. These are the lies we live in to appear the way we’d like to be portrayed. If we’re not careful with life lies, we’ll believe a narrative about our life that’s entirely not reality!
  • God Lies: God lies are lies we believe about God. These are lies we have not even told but have been told. We’ve heard it said that what we think about God is the most important thing about us. If we don’t have a right view of God, we won’t have a right view of life.
• Bottom Line: Carrying lies is a heavy load to carry– and it’s one you don’t have to carry! Truth is available to you, and it will set you free. Check your heart for some of these sneaky lies, and allow yourself to experience the lightness that comes from truth.
