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 Fog, the Flower, and the Mustard Seed: Finding God in the Small Things
What do you do when the mountaintop view disappears into fog? On a recent hike up Mount Yonah, Jason expected the big, sweeping vista—but instead found something even more sacred: a single blood-red flower blooming on a quiet side trail.
This episode is a reflection on presence, disappointment, and the hidden beauty we often miss while waiting for something bigger. Drawing on Jesus’ parable of the mustard seed, we explore how the Kingdom of Heaven shows up in the small, the quiet, and the easily overlooked.
If you're someone who's learning to slow down, let go of expectations, and see the divine in ordinary moments—this one's for you.
