Ep 593 | Is Empathy Making Us Stupid?

Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

Today we're talking about something that will probably be quite controversial among Christian women: the danger of empathy. While empathy is usually a positive thing, focusing too much on it will cause you to compromise on things you really shouldn't. And unfortunately, the idea of empathy has been weaponized and hijacked by ideologues who want to push a narrative and crush any dissenting opinions. We don't need to abandon empathy entirely, but we do need to remember to balance it with critical thinking, before our desire to be empathetic leads us to affirm secular truth instead of God's truth.
