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.

Rednecks, Yoga, and the Shift from Knowing to Living
Jason Lyle grew up in a blue-collar world — the kind where you fixed what was broken with your hands and didn’t talk much about what was broken in your heart. In this raw episode, he reflects on how the culture that shaped him taught him how to survive, but not how to feel, grieve, or heal.
He explores why theoretical knowledge — even spiritual knowledge — isn’t enough. Christianity gave him answers, but few practical tools. “Don’t do it” wasn’t enough when pain came knocking.
Through yoga, Jason learned to listen to his body.
Through breathwork, he found space between stimulus and reaction.
Through meditation, he finally understood what it meant to “take every thought captive.”
And in cold water, he discovered impulse control — and the truth that peace lives on the other side of discomfort.
This episode is for anyone trying to bridge the gap between what they know and how they live. Especially if you were raised to tough it out, stay quiet, and never cry.
