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.

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.

Altar of the Cold Water: Finding Grit in Discomfort
What if your transformation starts in a tub full of ice?
In this episode of Freeology, Jason Lyle steps into the cold—literally—and explores how cold water immersion became more than a wellness trend. It became his altar. This is where discomfort meets discipline, where the nervous system learns stillness, and where spiritual grit is forged.
You’ll hear how daily ice baths helped Jason rewire his brain, heal emotional chaos, and access a deeper form of masculine presence. He shares honest stories, hard truths, and practical tools for anyone looking to reclaim control over their inner world when the outer world feels like a storm.
Whether you’re into cold plunges or just feel stuck in life, this episode will challenge you to choose discomfort on purpose—and find sacred ground in the cold.
