In this episode of Faithful Dissent, we explore how the assassination of Charlie Kirk became more than a news story — it became a mirror. Everyone sees it differently: as evidence of cultural decay, political hatred, or spiritual warfare. But what does that say about us? And what does it mean to seek truth when our own desires shape the stories we tell?
Together, we discuss:
- How perception is shaped by ideology, fear, and tribal loyalty.
- Why violent events expose not just divisions, but the lenses through which we interpret the world.
- The spiritual and cultural costs of turning everything into confirmation of our side.
- Biblical wisdom for cultivating sight that goes beyond the mirror of self-interest
