273 — Empathy Under Fire

from unCOMFORTABLE · host Christ Community Church Omaha

This week, we grapple with why empathy is being branded as a weakness in political and religious spaces, even as science and scripture highlight its power. From brain science to cultural critiques, we explore how empathy can both strain and sustain us, and what it takes to turn it into compassion guided by truth.
