This is the Brand and Sherry podcast. To find out more about the radio show and Brant's new book called

Unoffendable, just go to brantt Hansen.com. So this is not to excuse Brian Williams stuff, whatever

he did, whatever's going on with that, but it does bring up the issue of honesty. And I got to tell

you, if I'm pointing the finger at somebody for being dishonest, I'm being dishonest because I struggle

with it in a number of ways at different

levels. Maybe you can relate to that. Maybe you can't. I have no idea. I think I put across a pretty

good show a lot of times, but then I struggle with pride as a result of that and selfishness.

You know, I'll just kind of omit things from the conversation because they don't make me look good. You don't want to tell people all the stuff that makes you look crummy. It's kind of hard to lead with weakness, even though that's what we really need to do. That is. And if you have a problem, which I do, with vulnerability, then you just don't want to lay yourself out there like that because you're not sure how it's

going to be received. I do that too. Right. Yeah. And then we just kind of suffer on the inside of our life.

Yeah. And we just kind of live with it. And then the enemy comes in and gets us to feel shame for it.

Oh, totally. That's right. And once he was isolated, he's like, well, you're the only one who deals with this. We were talking about honesty and stuff. So here's a question. Consider this. Do you honestly think the people have an impression of you morally that matches what's going on in the inside? That's just something for you to think about. Would they rate you?

Yeah, you're a really moral person,

but inside really you're not as moral as people think. So their rating of you would be like an eight, and the real rating is like a two. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just wondering if there's a disconnect like that for people. What do you think, Amanda? No, I don't think so. I think I'm pretty equally as moral inside as I am outside.

Huh, okay, good. No, I don't think so. I think I'm pretty equally as moral inside as I am outside.

Huh, okay, good.

Because I could admit to, you know, not reading in the Bible as much as I should,

but there's other aspects of my walk with Christ that I do flourish at.

So it's kind of still trying to find that happy medium, but I'm not going to hide that because I can't. That's great. Yeah. Rand, do you want to answer that question? I do. I'll say I am definitely a appear more moral on the outside than am on the inside. Absolutely. Do you think it has to do, I'm sorry, now Amanda, you're in the middle of our conversation.

Do you think it has to do with, this is what I think for me, that it has to do with our job.

It does for me.

So, where.

No, I just think, I think I have such foolish thoughts and selfish thoughts, and I don't give voice to them.
