It’s interdependent confirmation bias. First the preacher starts a preparing a message that actually comes from his own heart, his feelings, emotions, and mental state at the time. He thinks it might be from God.
He steps on the pulpit, hoping it’s from God. The audience, too, hopes it’s from God.
After the sermon, or during, everyone says Amen, building up confidence in both the audience as well as the speaker. At the end, people comes up to the Preacher, saying,” Amen, Pastor, that was really from God. I can feel it.” The Preacher now feels more confident than ever. Week to week, he grows from confidence to confidence.
One day, he doesn’t feel any doubt at all that his message is from God. He starts to believe in his own infallibility.
Mathematically, confidence is directly proportional to the number of years a preacer has been on the pulpit. This is the CONfidence Theorem.
