In week five of the book club for The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe, Jennie dives into what may be the deepest lie underneath them all: the belief that we are alone.
While the core lies - I’m helpless, I’m worthless, I’m unlovable - show up in different ways, they all point to one underlying fear: I will end up alone.
Jennie unpacks how this belief fuels anxiety, depression, and disconnection - and why the antidote isn’t just knowing truth, but living it out in community.

| 1:06.3 | dedicating this week specifically to chapter 12. I talked about this a little bit last week. We are |
| 1:12.2 | talking about not doing this alone. In fact, when I was working on the book, I wanted to add a fourth |
| 1:18.3 | lie to the three, but it was so different and unique because it was the lie that set under all |
| 1:25.9 | the other lies, which is that utterly we are afraid |
| 1:28.3 | of being alone and we think we are alone. And that lie, to me, the enemy uses most often |
