May 4 – The Best Policy

May the 4th be with you. And also with you. With that out of the way — today Pastor Mike closes out a great four-day run with Steffani and Memphis by digging into something trickier than it sounds: the difference between honesty and oversharing. Because you can be completely truthful and still do damage. Mike shares the three questions he runs every hard truth through before speaking it — does it need to be said? Does it need to be said by me? Does it need to be said by me right now? Steffani brings in We Agnostics, page 55. And they land the episode's most honest moment: the futility of still trying to hide things from God, knowing full well that God already knows. The mental gymnastics are real — and so is the way out. The stone for today: Partial honesty keeps parts of my life hidden and unchanged. Freedom grows when honesty becomes complete and not selective.
