About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of truth and the moral implications of dishonesty.

In this episode, we look at the fact that even small, everyday lies carry deep moral and spiritual weight, shaping our character and distancing us from truth. Drawing on Catholic teaching, philosophy, and neuroscience, it presents honesty as essential to human integrity and warns that habitual dishonesty gradually blinds us to reality and ourselves.
