This post introduces the third video in David Marchuck Barbour’s trilogy “Who’s Putting Whom On?”, shifting from personal stories of self-deception in youth and historical facades to a biblical meditation on inner truth versus outward pretense.
Referencing 1 Samuel 16:7, the video uses heart-shaped lanterns as a visual metaphor for God’s gaze on the heart, critiquing “Hod Carrier apparel”—elaborate laborer disguises symbolizing competitive self-fictions—while affirming divine work amid human hypocrisy.
Barbour’s series, rooted in his 73-year-old reflections and Christian bio, promotes authentic faith over approval-seeking, with low engagement suggesting niche appeal to introspective audiences seeking scriptural encouragement.
