Confirmation bias involves favoring information that confirms our existing beliefs while ignoring contradictory evidence, leading to distorted interpretations and flawed decision-making. It is exemplified by the Pharisees' rejection of Jesus despite overwhelming evidence of his divine origins, due to their preconceived notions about the Messiah.

Confirmation Bias

Press On is a Christadelphian journal. We publish engaging perspectives, expressed with enthusiasm and love for other believers. Press On aspires to stimulate growth in the Christadelphian community by helping it draw strength from its diversity, following the spirit of 1 Cor 12, and Rom 12 — one body, made up of different parts, all of whom are dependent on each other. As in the first century, our community of faith can benefit from both progressive and traditional perspectives so long as they are explored compassionately and without factionalism. That is what we are trying to do. As a listener of Press On, you may come across perspectives you have not encountered before. Some topics you may immediately resonate with and be thrilled by. Others you might disagree with. Our goal is that either way, you come away without feeling talked down to and with something worth considering.
