260. How to Know if Someone is Lying: 3 Different Types of Lies

Ever wonder if someone is lying to you—or if you’ve been believing lies yourself? In this episode of the Catholic Coaching Podcast, Matt & Erin break down the 3 different types of lies and how they show up in everyday life. From small “errors” and white lies, to subtle denials and omissions, all the way to bold-faced fabrications, you’ll discover how to spot them—and why they matter for your mindset, relationships, and spiritual life.

You’ll learn:
✅ How to recognize the least malicious lies (like errors, misinterpretations, white lies)
✅ The mid-level lies that damage trust (denial, lies of influence, omission)
✅ The most malicious lies (falsification, bold-faced lies, pathological lying)
✅ Simple self-coaching questions to test a thought or statement against truth
✅ Why mercy, confession, and prayer are essential to overcoming deception

Whether you’re trying to better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, or grow in discernment, this episode gives you a clear framework for identifying lies—and replacing them with truth.
