When Empathy Becomes the Enemy (#1059)

November 13, 2026 · 46 min

Show notes

Why are so many Christians beginning to see empathy as a threat to truth? Wayne and Kyle explore this troubling trend and what it reveals about our understanding of God's kingdom. From surprising election results to Jesus' encounters with broken people, they consider the difference between enforcing morality and inviting people into the transforming power of love. What if empathy isn't the enemy of truth, but the doorway through which truth can be heard? Living in God's kingdom isn't about imposing our values on others, but learning to see and love people as the conduit for God's truth to heal them.
