Episode 28: When the Lie Feels Real
In this episode of The Redeemed and Restored Podcast, host Mike Noland shares a powerful message titled When the Lie Feels Real. Mike reflects on how trusting his emotions once led him into cycles of relapse and despair, and how learning to trust God’s truth instead brought lasting transformation. He explores what happens when lies feel louder than God’s promises, how to take thoughts captive, and how to build an identity rooted in Christ rather than in feelings or past mistakes. Centered on Step 2 of recovery, which focuses on faith and trust, this episode encourages listeners to stand on the unchanging truth of God’s Word and discover the freedom that is found in Jesus.
