When You “Buy” a Movie But Don’t Really Own It—And Other Modern Deceptions

Would you talk to a digital version of your loved one after they died?

Buy a movie only to find it’s been deleted from your account?

Or trust the system when the data shows babies are dying at shocking rates?

This episode of the Insight Out Show goes deep on what’s being lost in a world of short attention spans, endless subscriptions, and digital facades.

Here’s what’s inside:

  • Mississippi’s rising infant mortality rates—and what’s really behind it
  • AI that brings people “back to life”—and the spiritual cost of synthetic grief
  • The truth behind digital ownership—why Amazon’s being sued for deleting your “purchases”
  • Why we’re losing more than money in a subscription-based world
  • A spiritual check-in: Are we adapting to culture, or staying anchored in truth?

Scripture:

Psalm 145:18“The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.”

Psalm 46:10“Be still, and know that I am God…”

About the Podcast

INSIGHT OUT
Clarity for the mind. Joy for the heart. Truth for the times. Christian news, devotionals & podcast conversations to help us flourish.
Think, see, and live differently. By uncovering God’s truth and removing the blinders that keep us from seeing clearly, we are called not only to reflect on these truths when we rise, when we lie down, and in all we do, but to live them out in every area of our lives.

As Deuteronomy 6:6-7 reminds us, “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” Faith is not meant to stay in our thoughts; it is meant to be lived out in action. What fills our minds and hearts shapes our lives, and what we truly believe must become evident in how we live. Together, we will learn what it means to live this out every day.

This is more than a podcast; it is a way of life, a call to see life InSight Out, to live as we were created to live, flourish as God intended, and build our lives on the rock-solid foundation of His Word. Why? Because how we live matters.
