Dr. Joe Rigney: This Lie Has Undermined the Church


Listen Later

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.

About Today’s Guest
Dr. 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.

Dr. Rigney brings a steady, sober-minded voice to some of the most charged issues of our time—calling Christians to anchor compassion in conviction rather than capitulation.
