Confirmation Bias, Flat Earth, and Faith

In this episode of The Gospel According to Maddie, we use flat earth theory and online conspiracy culture as a jumping-off point to talk about confirmation bias, algorithmic reinforcement, metacognition, and the human tendency to build meaning through patterns. We also dig into the difference between following religion and following Jesus, arguing that Christ’s clearest message was not domination or gatekeeping, but love of God, love of neighbor, humility, and inner transformation. Along the way, we explore trauma lenses, brain rewiring, and why healing starts when you learn to step back and observe your own thoughts.We love you all,Maddie & Drew
