Bonus Sample: Faith: Unearned and Earned

An essay from Matthew exploring the problem of authenticity which plagues every investigation we do on the spiritual influencer beat. There are queasy questions we’re always contending with when we’re listening to the preaching of Charles Eisenstein, Kelly Brogan, Zach Bush, or RFK Jr: Has this person really committed to the spirituality they are presenting? Or is spirituality instrumental to them? Do they have experience to share, or programs to sell? It’s hard if not impossible to find the line between these things, especially in the society of the spectacle, especially when we’re talking about influencers we don’t personally know. But it's an important consideration because assumptions made in one direction or another taint the entire discourse. Maybe, we’re talking about the difference between unearned faith and earned faith.
