Maybe it’s happened to you. A salesperson promises that if you’re not 100% satisfied with their product when you bring it home, they’ll give you all your money back. There’s just one little problem.

So why is it that so many people tell one story before they have your money, and another story after they get it? What is it about lying that really makes us mad, and what in the world can you do to stop it? Tune in this week and we’ll look to the Bible to find out!
