The Counterfeit Shepherd

Yesterday we talked about: “The serpent we built.” This is the other side of the coin, now looking at the shepherd we follow. It derives from the exact same conversation we had with the Berean Teacher application about the Serpent We Built. We’ve entered an era in which we’re getting our guidance from AI - WAY BEYOND what to buy and what website we're looking for. You've heard people say this, I'm sure: “I absolutely know this is true! I saw it on the internet". Some say it tongue-in-cheek but more and more, what we believe is derived from "our" web. People absolutely will derive their truth from the internet in some form or another. In a very short time, our “truth” has migrated from the newspaper to the radio to the Walter Cronkites and now to the manicured and curated internet resources. And who curates the content we receive? WE DO! Each of us!

The twist? While this podcast is looking at the other side of the coin, i.e. the Shepherd, you’ll discover that it’s a two-headed coin. The Counterfeit Shepherd and the Serpent We Built represent the same image.
