"They have healed the wound of My people lightly, saying, 'Peace, peace,' when there is no peace." - Jeremiah 6:14
There is a kind of strength that sings too well-words polished, doctrines memorized, prayers fluent and assured-yet beneath the sound, the chest remains tight, the breath shallow, the rhythm strained. It is a faith that performs convincingly, but does not rest. A peace rehearsed on the lips while the nervous system remains on alert. A holiness that looks intact while the heart quietly compensates.
When We Skip the Truth is written for those who know this tension intimately. It is a mirror for the faithful who appear steady, helpful, prayerful-yet sense a growing distance between what they say and what they feel. For leaders who proclaim hope while privately exhausted. For believers who fear that if they pause the performance, everything might collapse. This is not a book of accusation, but of recognition.
Cardiologist and rhythm theorist Dr. Emmanuel Eroumé A. Egom explores what happens when emotional truth is consistently bypassed in the name of faith, productivity, or spiritual maturity. When grief is spiritualized away, anger sanctified into silence, fear renamed as trust without being felt, the body does not forget. Instead, it adapts-and that adaptation comes at a cost.
Bringing together neuroscience, theology, and clinical medicine, Dr. Egom shows how spiritual fluency without emotional integration can create biological strain, relational dissonance, and nervous system fatigue. He describes how spiritual bypassing does not eliminate pain; it relocates it-into inflammation, altered immunity, disrupted heart rate variability, and flattened cortisol rhythms. What looks like "strength" may, in fact, be survival prolonged beyond its season.
Through clinical insight and scriptural reflection, the book reveals how suppressed emotion reshapes physiology, why the body treats unspoken truth as unresolved threat, and how constant self-regulation erodes vitality over time. Dr. Egom explores the surprising connection between speech fluency and biological fatigue-how saying the "right" things while feeling the opposite taxes the heart, the vagus nerve, and the relational field around us.
Scripture is not presented as a demand to feel better, but as permission to feel honestly. Jesus weeping, David raging and rejoicing without filter, Jeremiah lamenting without resolution-each modeled emotional truth as a form of medicine, not weakness. Their faith was not bypassed emotion, but embodied trust.
At the core of the book is the CAMERS² model, a framework for diagnosing spiritual disconnection across six rhythm domains-cardiac, autonomic, mental, emotional, relational, and spiritual-offering language for what many feel but cannot name. Complementing this is a gentle 7-day Genesis-based healing plan designed to reunite speech, emotion, and spirit, restoring rhythm rather than forcing resolution.
Through stories of patients, pastors, and seekers, Dr. Egom shows that the disease of bypass is not hypocrisy-it is survival that has gone stale. It helped once. It protected you. But it no longer heals.
The invitation of this book is simple and costly: not to perform peace, but to feel it again. To allow the lips and the heart to sing the same song. To stop outrunning pain and start listening to it-with God present, unafraid, and near.
"You don't have to outperform your pain. You only need to feel it-with Me."
