Reasonable Reality | Inside Out Ep. 3

You've kept a question at a careful distance — not because you're afraid of the answer, but because you've never been told you were allowed to actually ask it.

This episode is permission to ask it honestly. Faith and reason are not enemies. The evidence the gospel rests on hasn't changed — and it holds up under exactly the kind of scrutiny it invites.

This is Episode 3 of Inside Out — a twelve-episode series for the person exhausted by the gap between what they know and how they live, and for the person who has watched that exhaustion in others and kept a careful distance.

In this episode:

• Why the Bereans were commended for interrogating the message — not rewarded for accepting it without question

• A fair comparison of divine-manifestation claims across the major world religions

• The empty tomb, the disciples' transformation, and the category of evidence the resurrection stands on

• Alētheia — the Greek word for truth that means reality, not doctrine

• The encounter practice: bringing honest doubt to Jesus as an open posture, not a problem to solve

The companion to this episode is Chapter 3 of the Inside Out Study Guide at TEDtalking.life.
