The chapter explores the concept of bespoke realities, where individuals are immersed in tailored viewpoints that reinforce their beliefs, excluding dissenting opinions. It discusses the repercussions of residing in such realities, impacting personal judgment and interactions with others. Emphasizing the need to navigate the media environment as Christians, the chapter suggests steps like following diverse perspectives to avoid bearing false witness.
Repeated studies show that the current media landscape is worsening polarization and weakening our ability to grasp truth. How do we escape getting trapped in our own “bespoke realities?” This Good Faith episode draws on a recent webinar led by Curtis and David French where they address how Christians can adopt better information habits.
