#421 - Kyle Thompson // From One Lie to “Noman Mode”

We use Odysseus and the Cyclops to show how a clever lie can turn into a default way of life. We measure “No Man Mode” against God’s command for truth and challenge ourselves to stop managing truth and start telling it. 
• Odysseus’ “No Man” lie and why it works 
• The Bible’s clear command against false witness in Exodus 20:16 
• Why Proverbs 12:22 calls lying an abomination 
• Hard cases in Scripture like Rahab and the midwives, and why they are exceptions 
• How comfort with deception turns into a habit and then a character trait 
• “No Man Mode” in everyday life: money, marriage, stories, small group answers 
• Cleverness versus wisdom and the long-term cost of short-term peace 
Before you go, if you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five star rating and review.
