The Subtle Sins We All Ignore

Ever walked out of a situation and thought, “That didn’t feel right”?
In this raw, unscripted episode, Jerrad Lopes shares a deeply vulnerable moment — a story that didn’t involve sin in the traditional sense, but came dangerously close. From a return line at Home Depot to the emotional weight of a product endorsement, Jerrad invites listeners into the middle circle: the subtle behaviors that don’t look like sin, but lead our hearts away from truth, integrity, and God.

🎧 In this episode:

• What “middle circle behavior” means and how it can unravel your soul

• The difference between numbing out vs. self-care

• A powerful framework used in recovery communities to build emotional awareness

• How small compromises can quietly erode godly character

• Jerrad’s honest confession to his wife — and why radical honesty matters

• Why Oreo binges, Zillow scrolling, or standing while eating may matter more than you think

• The prayer for men who want transformation but feel stuck

Whether you’re a husband, a father, or a man seeking healing, this episode offers a language for the soul and a challenge to step out of isolation.
