Why the Algorithm Feeds Your Anger (And How Jesus Forms You)

Why does scrolling leave you feeling more angry, reactive, or frustrated — even when you didn’t plan to feel that way?

Algorithms are designed to amplify outrage. They learn what triggers you, polarize your thinking, and keep feeding you content that escalates emotion. But anger that feels like clarity often leads to blind spots, broken relationships, and spiritual exhaustion.

In part two of this series, Jeff Brodie explores why the algorithm feeds your anger — and how Jesus offers a radically different way forward. Not escalation, but formation. Not reaction, but response. Not winning arguments, but finding freedom.

Jesus invites us to live unprogrammable lives — shaped by compassion, humility, and thoughtful response instead of constant outrage. If you’re tired of feeling angry after you scroll, this message is for you.

👉 The algorithm wants escalation. Jesus wants formation.
