Why do I write so much about deception and spiritual discernment?
Someone recently asked me how God reshaped my understanding of truth.
For years, I thought deception was mostly personal — something that happened between individuals. But through Scripture, prayer, and studying history, I began to see something larger.
When human beings assume the authority to define truth for themselves, history shows what follows. What “seems right” can slowly become destructive. Moral lines blur. Rage can masquerade as righteousness. Even violence can be defended in the name of “truth.”
God showed me that deception isn’t only about believing lies. It’s about who we allow to define what is right and wrong.
Truth is not something we invent. It’s something we receive.
Discernment, I’ve learned, isn’t about trusting my instincts — it’s about surrendering them to the One who sees clearly.
This realization deeply shaped both my faith and the story I tell in my memoir.
I would truly love to hear from you —
What has shaped your understanding of truth over the years?
