The Oldest Lie | Inside Out Ep. 2

You've tried. Sincerely. More than once. And something keeps drifting back to exactly where it was.

It's not a discipline problem. It's a direction problem — and the direction was set a long time before you ever chose it.

This is Episode 2 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:

• The first recorded question in human history — and why it was aimed at a belief, not a behavior

• Why behavior modification, willpower, and accountability cannot reach the root

• The Scotch Thistle — and what it reveals about surface treatments vs. root removal

• A single Greek word Jesus used to dismantle an entire system's logic

• The encounter practice from Chapter 2, led in real time

The companion to this episode is Chapter 2 of the Inside Out Study Guide at TEDtalking.life.
