from On The Line · host Bryan Stecker

Join us in Moscow, Idaho, as we confront the rise of untethered empathy—the cultural force that rewards victimhood, shuts down truth, and manipulates compassion. Drawing on theology, psychology, and the failures of modern institutions, we examine how emotional reasoning influences everything from politics to parenting, and how Christians can cultivate sober-mindedness in an era dominated by feelings over facts.Visit Memento: https://memento70.com/Check Out Our New Website: https://ontheline.net/Support the Launch of LIT: https://institute.ontheline.net/donation/Contact Bryan: [email protected] Today’s GuestDr. Joe Rigney is a theologian, cultural critic, and author of The Sin of Empathy, a work examining how sympathy becomes destructive when severed from truth.
