Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior or favored beliefs or values. Take chocolate ice cream. Of all ice cream, nothing is better than chocolate ice cream and anyone who says differently is empirically wrong, and is probably unAmerican. "That's silly," you may say - and you'd be right. What is needed is perspective: seeing through the received data and finding alternative intentions and outcomes. Take Rick's upcoming retirement: one could say "It's an end of an era - nothing will ever be the same and based on other people's pastor transitions, it's going to get worse." Yes, it's true, that Rick is retiring, and it's true that some churches struggle with transitions: but there are so many other factors to take into consideration. It is an unfair bias to the situation - and to yourself - to believe that. This is why Rick talks about "Faith-Sight". Find out what he means in this penultimate podcast.
