Empathy, Awe, and the Wonder of Christmas
from The Common Good Podcast · host Brian From
As Christmas draws near, Brian From explores why empathy is essential to the Christian life, especially in a polarized and often graceless public square. He reflects on how Jesus models true compassion—entering into the suffering of others rather than offering detached sympathy. The hour also turns toward rediscovering the wonder of Christmas, inviting listeners to reclaim awe, humility, and joy in the light that has come into the darkness. Tom Buck (Five Point Buck) on X: "Truly sad to see @POTUS respond to Rob Reiner’s murder in the shameful way he did. He had an opportunity to model grace and mercy in the face of wickedness. I despised Reiner’s politics, but every life should be treated with dignity. I pray those around Trump will correct him." / X Christianity Is More Than Just Being a Good Person - RELEVANT John 1 NIV - The Word Became Flesh - In the - Bible Gateway Glenn Packiam on X: "A little “Juice-box Theology” (If you don’t like analogies or illustrations in a sermon, you may not like this.) https://t.co/KxnoHJTDJI" / X Griffin Gulledge on X: "I don’t know who this guy is, but I appreciate him admitting that there is a Jesus part of him and a political part of him and that they are in competition. Not enough people admit that. What he needs to understand: the Jesus follower part is always supposed to win." / X God of Light and Life - Christianity Today See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
