In this episode Mark is joined by Stuart Ford to discuss how Proverbs deals with the themes of honesty and integrity. They explore various proverbs related to lying and false witness, considering the complex moral implications of dishonesty – in personal relationships and in society. They tackle the challenging question of whether lying is always wrong.

The conversation touches on the cost of integrity, the realities of living in a fallen world and biblical accounts where people lie, yet God still uses those situations to further his purposes. They finish with a discussion about the high standards we’re called to keep and the need for us to have a unified character of honesty and humility in order to reflect God’s nature in every situation.
