    Is Ignorance the New Normal? | Why Christians Fall for Fake News | Breathe Podcast Ep 277

    In this episode of the Breathe Podcast, Pastor Debleaire Snell, David Person, and Kirk Nugent tackle a disturbing "new normal" in our culture: the celebration of ignorance. We have moved into an era of "subjective truth," where personal feelings and social media popularity often outweigh facts, research, and biblical bedrock. From the commodification of the Gospel and "sizzle reel" pastors to the spread of conspiracy theories within the church, the team discusses why believers must stop outsourcing their thinking to influencers. It is time to become "Bereans" again—critical thinkers who research, verify, and value truth over trends. Key Takeaways: - The Era of Subjective Truth: How we moved from objective facts to "my perspective is truth," and why this is dangerous for the church. - The Influencer Effect: Why high follower counts are being mistaken for credibility, and how social media algorithms reward outrageous claims over researched facts. - Celebrity vs. Service: A look at the "sizzle reel" culture in modern ministry—when the Gospel looks more like a Bentley commercial than a life of service. - The Death of Compassion: How political polarization has caused many to view biblical commands (like caring for the immigrant or the poor) as partisan politics rather than spiritual mandates. - The Call to be Bereans: The urgent need for Christians to do their own research, read beyond the headlines, and stop spreading unverified information.

    3 Toxic Seasons vs. Toxic Cycles: How to Unblock Your Life for 2026 | Breathe Podcast Ep 270

    Are you in a toxic season or a toxic cycle? In this powerful episode of the Breathe podcast, Pastor Debleaire Snell, David Person, and Kirk Nugent open the final tool in the "Prosperity Kit": Prosperity Blockers. We often look for external reasons why we aren't thriving, but the biggest obstacles are often internal. From indifference to suffering, to the "sluggard" mentality, to the danger of avoiding hard conversations—we break down exactly what restrains God's blessings in your life. Join us as we discuss the difference between "seasons" and "cycles," the high cost of maintaining appearances, and why vulnerability is the secret key to true wellness. Let’s close out 2025 strong and prepare for a prosperous New Year! Key Takeaways - Indifference is a Blocker: How ignoring the suffering of others when you have the power to help can circumvent your own blessings. - The Cost of Hiding: Why concealing sins and struggles requires more energy than actually healing from them. - The Sluggard Mentality: Prosperity requires effort; opportunity often looks like hard work. - Hard Conversations: Why "waiting for things to work themselves out" is a myth that destroys relationships. - Seasons vs. Cycles: How to identify if you are just going through a rough patch or if you are stuck in a behavioral loop that requires repentance. #BreathePodcast #BreathOfLife #Prosperity #FaithAndMentalHealth #2026Goals #BiblicalWisdom #ChristianPodcast
