The InSight Out Show | Ep. 85 | Outrage Pays. Truth Pays the Price. The Moral Cost of the Attention Economy.
What happens when outrage becomes the business model?
And deeper still… how do we live as people of light when social media profits off division, anger, and even violence?
That’s the heart of today’s show.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk shocked our nation and revealed the dark power of outrage culture. But Scripture reminds us: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:5)
In today’s show, Devin explores:
- How social media algorithms amplify outrage and reward it
- Why the story of Charlie Kirk shows us how anger spreads faster than truth
- The dangerous rise of vigilantism and nihilism in our culture
- How Gen Z is turning toward faith amid the noise
- Why what we share, say, and scroll carries power
- How to lean on truth, not trending feeds
Scripture (NIV):
John 1:5 – “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
James 1:19–20 – “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.”
Proverbs 18:21 – “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
