As honesty proves uncomfortable—but freeing—Allison learns that truth doesn’t demand perfection, only courage. Through quiet moments at school, thoughtful conversations at home, and a meaningful family devotion, this episode explores how honesty opens the door to peace and mercy.

Along the way, Mr. Thompson finds himself reflecting on his own need for truth, discovering that when honesty is chosen, it has a way of reaching beyond one heart and touching many others.

When Sunday arrives, a simple seat beside familiar faces leads to an altar moment where no one rushes and no one lets Mr. Thompson stand alone. Surrounded by prayer, patience, and love, this episode gently reminds listeners that God draws hearts through community—and that no one ever walks the path of faith by themselves.
