Episode 401 Lack of Empathy begats sin?

Apparently, some Christians say we’re supposed to be tougher on sin. More hellfire. More brimstone.

This week on Beyond Sunday, we dive into Russell Moore’s provocative argument that empathy is deeply connected to the way Scripture confronts sin, calls people to repentance, and ultimately points us toward Jesus. So… can you preach about sin without being a jerk? And can empathy actually make the gospel hit harder? Let’s talk about it. https://www.christianitytoday.com/2025/04/hellfire-brimstone-sin-empathy-russell-moore/?utm_medium=widgetsocial
