Send us Fan MailWhy do people believe lies even when the truth is right in front of them?In this episode of The Keystone Project Podcast, Charlie, James, and Richard Greene explore the concept of cognitive dissonance and how it affects our beliefs, relationships, culture, politics, and faith.The discussion examines why people often resist evidence that challenges their worldview, how identity and pride influence decision-making, the role of misinformation and social conditioning, and why humility is essential for discovering truth.The conversation also tackles an important question: Is faith simply another form of cognitive dissonance, or is there a fundamental difference between biblical faith and the denial of reality?Drawing from history, psychology, theology, and personal experience, this episode offers a thoughtful and biblical perspective on truth-seeking in an age of confusion and information overload.Topics include:• Cognitive dissonance explained• Confirmation bias and misinformation• The pursuit of truth• Faith versus denial of evidence• Humility and intellectual honesty• The Holy Spirit and spiritual discernment• Cultural identity and kingdom culture• How to help people trapped in deceptionSupport the showThanks for listening!
