He convinced her she lacked what she already possessed.And we're still falling for the same lie.In this episode:✅ The real meaning of "hamartia" (missing the mark)✅ What happened in Genesis 3 (it wasn't about fruit)✅ Why God asked "Who told you?" instead of "What did you do?"✅ How to stop aiming at the wrong targetThe mark hasn't changed.
