Sacred Grit: The Podcast for Honest, Present, and Purposeful Living
Sacred Grit is where spirituality meets raw reality. Hosted by Jason Lyle—men’s coach, retreat leader, and former pastor—this podcast is for men (and anyone) ready to drop the mask, face themselves fully, and live with honesty, curiosity, and self-love.
Each episode helps you access the truth that sets you free: the unfiltered experience of the present moment. Learn practical tools for nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, addiction recovery, spiritual growth, and real self-love.
We talk about:
- Men’s mental health and healing
- Mindfulness, breathwork, and cold immersion
- Spiritual deconstruction and reconstruction
- Building healthy habits for body, mind, and soul
- Finding your True Self beyond trauma and conditioning
Whether you're deconstructing faith, overcoming addiction, navigating grief, or seeking a more grounded, meaningful life, Sacred Grit is your invitation to stop performing and start being.
This is not about fixing you. It’s about being with you.
Welcome to Sacred Grit.

SHOW NOTES:
Catching Your Thoughts: A Simple Morning Practice for Real Change
Ever feel like your impulses take over before you even know what you’re doing? Like you’re saying or doing things that don’t align with who you want to be?
This Gritty Wednesday, Jason Lyle shares his own story of feeling out of control in his decisions—and how building simple, daily practices helped him “catch” thoughts before they turned into regrettable actions.
In this episode, you’ll explore:
✅ Why we often react before we even realize what we’re thinking.
✅ How daily mindfulness practice carves new grooves in your mental pathways.
✅ Why this work is training—like preparing for a marathon or climbing a mountain.
✅ How this idea connects to “taking every thought captive” in a real, compassionate way.
✅ The impact of modern overstimulation on your ability to be honest with yourself.
✅ A specific 5-minute morning practice you can try this week to train your mind to pause and listen to your soul.
Listener Invitation:
Before you head out the door this week, try this:
- Set a timer for 5 minutes.
- On the inhale, think: “I am breathing in.”
- On the exhale, think: “I am breathing out.”
This simple practice helps you build the muscle to pause—even in the heat of the moment. And when you catch your thoughts, you can choose your response. That’s what Sacred Grit is all about.
