The Danger of Outsourcing Your Faith - Spiritually Fit Today

Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole and guest Brad Davies. In this episode Arnie and Brad discuss how echo chambers, groupthink, and AI influence what Christians hear and believe, and how those forces interact with sound theology. They reflect on Galatians 1:10 and the challenge of seeking God’s approval instead of human praise. Practical discernment—not abandoning digital tools—is the focus. 4 R action steps: Read — Read Galatians 1:10 (and the surrounding chapter). Consider the verse: “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Reflect — Ask: Who am I trying to please? Which voices shape my theology? Do my feeds reinforce curiosity or shut down alternate, well-researched viewpoints? Respond — Short prayer: Lord, forgive us for listening only to what flatters us. Give us discernment to recognize sound teaching, humility to accept correction, and faithfulness to your Word. Amen. Reveal — Find one thoughtful Christian perspective this week you wouldn’t normally read or listen to. Discuss it with a friend with humility and prayer, and share one insight that points others back to Christ, not to a single teacher. Hosts: Arnie Cole ([email protected]) and Brad Davies.
