Media Literacy in a World of Echo Chambers with David French | Created In The Image of God 183

In this episode of Created In The Image of God, we welcome David French — New York Times opinion columnist, constitutional lawyer, Iraq War veteran, and author of Divided We Fall. Few voices today carry his combination of legal expertise, military service, and journalistic influence. French has long argued for the importance of character in leadership, the defense of religious liberty, and the dangers of political polarization.

Our conversation centers on media literacy in a world of echo chambers. French reflects on how information ecosystems have fractured, leaving citizens vulnerable to manipulation and mistrust. Drawing from his work in law, his writing for national outlets, and his personal experiences navigating political and religious controversies, he offers a grounded perspective on what it takes to discern truth when every platform seems designed to divide.

What emerges is not simply commentary on today’s headlines, but a deeper call to conscience. French challenges listeners to consider how faith, civic responsibility, and moral clarity can help rebuild an everyday reality in public life. At a moment when mistrust runs high, his voice reminds us that clear thinking and honest dialogue remain essential to both democracy and community.
