The Freeology Podcast
What happens when faith no longer fits, but your soul is still searching? Welcome to Freeology—a raw and honest podcast for those deconstructing religion, redefining masculinity, and reclaiming the sacred within. Hosted by Jason Lyle, a wilderness guide, former pastor, and spiritual coach, this show explores the gritty beauty of letting go of certainty to find something deeper.
Each episode dives into topics like spiritual healing, inner resilience, nervous system regulation, emotional sobriety, and what it means to be a wholehearted man in a fractured world. With stories from the trail, reflections on scripture through a metaphorical lens, and teachings grounded in mindfulness, breathwork, and cold water immersion, Freeology invites you to reconnect to a truth that’s older than dogma and wilder than religion.
Whether you’re deconstructing, recovering, or rebuilding—this podcast offers tools, insight, and sacred grit for the journey.

The Original Sin: When We Trusted Our Assumptions Over God’s Voice
In this episode, Jason breaks down the story of Adam and Eve—not as a tale of shame or punishment, but as a timeless warning about what happens when we stop listening to the voice of the Divine and start trusting our own assumptions.
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil wasn’t about fruit—it was about control. It was about the seductive belief that we can discern right from wrong on our own, without surrender. And just like Adam and Eve, when we choose to decide instead of receive, we create consequences we can’t undo.
Jason explores how this ancient story is playing out in our lives every day—when we judge, when we react, when we try to reverse-engineer peace through control. True spiritual freedom, he argues, comes not from knowing more—but from learning to listen again.
