The Show: Charlie Kirk, Outrage Culture, and the Light That Overcomes

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.”

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.
