We’ve all been there. Well, at least most of us have. We’ve made up excuses. We’ve told white lies. We’ve fabricated stories to cover our butts. What’s the funniest or worst excuse/white lies/fabrication you’ve come up with?

When does criticism become destructive?
Do white lies really matter?
Should we always tell exactly what we’re thinking/feeling on the inside? Why or why not? Are there things we don’t tell people that maybe we should?

Types of Lies We Tell
White lies, broken promises, fabrication, bold-faced lies, exaggerations, deception, plagiarism, compulsive lying. (Source) We lie to save face or shift blame. Those who lie rarely accept responsibility. That’s the whole point of lying. We always want the praise and responsibility for all the good things we do, but if we mess up, our sin nature is drawn to lie.

Ever catch yourself daydreaming some days? What do you daydream about? Where do dreams come from? How can we know what they mean?
All great questions that we’re talking about on this week’s edition of HopeNet Radio. According to Wikipedia, dreams are successions of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not definitively understood, though they have been a topic of scientific speculation, as well as a subject of philosophical and religious interest, throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is called oneirology.

Tonight on the show, Jeff and Dave dig up an original radio broadcast from Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem that first Palm Sunday. Kyle and Todd join in our discussion about significant moments. Life is filled with moments that impact our lives forever, but we often don’t realize it. Whenever difficulty comes, it’s our nature to resist, deflect, or flat out run from it. Instead, God uses those moments to refine and build character. What are some significant moments in your life? Share them in the comments or connect with us on social media.
