Have you ever seen a post, quote, reel, or sermon clip and thought, “That is exactly how I feel”?Sometimes someone else simply gives words to something we have been carrying. But what happens when those borrowed words begin doing more than describing how we feel, and start convincing us that our interpretation must be true?Social media algorithms learn what keeps our attention and give us more of it. Before long, an abundance of agreement can create an illusion of accuracy. “This describes how I feel” can quietly become “This proves what happened.”In this episode, we talk about confirmation bias, borrowed validation, the danger of letting your feed reinforce your conclusions, and why validation should never replace self-examination.The question is not simply, “Does this resonate with me?”It is: Am I being informed by my feed—or fed by my algorithm?
