Confirmation Bias and the Echo Chamber I saw how self-appointed authorities created an echo chamber of bad theology

In Episode 9 of my Why I Left the Church of Christ series, I talk about confirmation bias and the echo chamber that shaped my theology for decades. I share how a system of trusted voices, lectureships, periodicals, and self-appointed authorities reinforced the same conclusions over and over until those conclusions felt unquestionable.

This episode is not about attacking individuals. It is about examining a system that can exist in any Christian tradition. I honor many of the men who influenced me, but I also explain how sincere teachers can still pass down a closed system that rewards agreement more than honest examination.

I also share what began to break the echo chamber for me, how better questions changed the way I read Scripture, and why stepping outside one approved circle of voices helped me test theology by the text instead of by tradition. I discuss confirmation bias, invisible hierarchy, uniformity vs unity, and why truth has nothing to fear from honest cross-examination.

If you have ever wondered whether your church culture filters what questions you are allowed to ask, this episode is for you.

Topics in this episode include Church of Christ echo chamber dynamics, confirmation bias in theology, self-appointed authorities, brotherhood publications, lectureships, biblical interpretation, Holy Spirit and Scripture, and testing teachings in context.
