The Lies We Believe Without Even Knowing It

You’ve been lied to. Probably today. That voice in your head telling you that you’ll always struggle, that you’re not enough, that your failures define you—it’s familiar. But it’s not the truth. And most of us don’t even realize we’ve been lied to until we’ve already made decisions based on it. That’s the enemy’s game: disguise the lie so well that we accept it as truth without question.

That’s why learning to spot a lie before it wrecks you isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. Your peace, your clarity, and your relationships may all depend on your ability to tell the difference.

The Hidden War You’re Probably Ignoring

We’ve all done it—lost our cool in a disagreement, given someone the cold shoulder, or obsessed over a grudge we couldn’t seem to let go. But what if those moments weren’t just missteps in our relationships? What if, underneath them, there’s a deeper fight going on—a fight you may not even realize you’re in?

Let’s talk about spiritual warfare, not in the dramatic, movie-style sense, but in the ordinary moments where it often hides in plain sight. Drawing from Saul’s story in 1 Samuel 28, here are three critical warnings that can protect your heart, your mind, and your relationships from the real enemy.

Are You Listening To Wisdom?

If you’ve ever made a decision in the heat of the moment—maybe out of anger, pride, or fear—you’re in good company. Even David, Israel’s most celebrated king, had his moments. In fact, one of his biggest lessons came not in battle, but in a moment of almost-violence—stopped only by a voice of wisdom.

This message isn’t just about David’s story. It’s about our story, too—about how we respond when wisdom shows up, often uninvited, but desperately needed.

Little Lies, Big Damage: Why God Cares About The Truth You Tell

Chances are, you won’t find yourself in a life-or-death situation where a lie could save you. But let’s be honest—how many times have you been tempted to lie to make life easier? Maybe it’s a quick excuse to avoid conflict. Maybe it’s pretending everything’s fine when it’s really not. Maybe it’s a small exaggeration to make yourself look better.

We live in a world where bending the truth is normal—sometimes even expected. Studies say the average person lies at least twice a day, and many can’t get through a ten-minute conversation with someone new without lying. It’s almost like lying is baked into everyday life.

But as followers of Jesus, we’re called to live differently. We don’t ask, “What does everyone else do?” Instead, we ask, “What does God say about this?” And what God says about lying is direct and powerful.

Many of us struggle to build deep, lasting friendships. In a world where connections are often surface-level, how can we form relationships that truly matter?
