The God You've Been Avoiding Doesn't Exist | Inside Out Ep. 4

You've been performing for a god who's never quite satisfied. Or you walked away from one who seemed to require things you couldn't give.

Either way — the image you've been reacting to may not be the one Jesus was actually revealing.

This is Episode 4 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 Philip asked Jesus to show him the Father — after three years of walking with Him

• Two Greek words, eikōn and charaktēr, that collapse the distance between Jesus and the Father

• Where the distorted image actually comes from — and why it isn't your fault that you absorbed it

• The encounter practice that corrects the image at the level where it actually lives

The companion to this episode is Chapter 4 of the Inside Out Study Guide at TEDtalking.Life.
