| 0:00.0 | As flawed people with a fallen nature, many of us have mastered the art of the highlight reel. |
| 0:14.0 | Posting curated pictures on social media that showcase our best angles, happiest moments, and brilliant thoughts. But what if someone could see the unfiltered reality behind the posts? |
| 0:25.6 | What if they knew what you're really like when no one's watching? |
| 0:28.6 | Convicting, isn't it? |
| 0:30.6 | Well, today, on Insight for Living, Chuck Swindall introduces us to a man who perfected his public image |

| 1:48.8 | lovely buildings and living rooms and even the nice, cozy campfire, behind the scenes, |
| 1:55.8 | it's all plastic, metal, wood. It's a mask, held together in the flimsy materials that are temporary, |
| 2:08.2 | put together in a moment's notice, as it were, and yet the camera makes it look like the place |
| 2:14.8 | has been there for years. Even the phony ivy that grows up the side of the |
| 2:20.2 | house or the lighting and the dramatic arts that make the sound come to life. Even that campfire |
