Are social media algorithms controlling the narrative? We sit down with JonMark Baker from the Minor Prophets Podcast to unpack how social media algorithms are impacting our culture. In this episode of Remnant Radio, we’ll take a closer look at how social media algorithms shape the presentation of content in the age of cancel culture. Together, we’ll consider why platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube tend to push material that reinforces perspectives and keeps users locked in echo chambers. We’ll also explore how media outlets are encouraged to produce stories that sensationalize or stir up anger and outrage in order to generate clicks, shares, and likes. We'll examine what these algorithms are doing to society and how Christians can engage thoughtfully in a digital world. 0:00 – Introduction 4:07 – The YouTube Algorithm and Provocative Content 5:21 – Cultivation Theory & Cognitive Distortions 10:16 – Defining Negative Content 14:14 – Longterm Effects 17:15 – Content Creation & Motivation 30:00 – Recommendation to The Audience 53:32 – The Importance of Discernment Hey Guys, Josh Lewis here. Have you ever wondered if the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit—like prophecy, healing, and tongues—really stopped after the apostles? Cessationists claim they vanished throughout church history, but that's a myth. In Remnant Radio’s new ebook, History of Spiritual Gifts: The Myth of Cessationism , I dive into church history to reveal the active use of spiritual gifts by early church fathers 🙏 God’s been GOOD! 🙏 Watch our year-end message from Joshua Lewis & see how your support helps us resource & equip believers in God's Word & Spirit!
