What do you do when empathy feels… inconvenient?

In this episode, we start with an unexpected moment from a recent NFL game and move into a deeper conversation about compassion, rivalry, and spiritual maturity. Watching a rival quarterback wrestle with disappointment raises an honest question many of us face: How are we supposed to show empathy and sympathy toward people who’ve had success, privilege, or plenty of wins—but are now facing loss?

Using Scripture like Romans 12:15, Ephesians 4:32, and Proverbs 24:17, this episode explores what empathy really looks like from a biblical perspective—and why it’s not about who deserves compassion, but who we are becoming in the process.

You’ll hear practical, real-life examples of how to:

• Show empathy without agreement

• Respond with grace instead of comparison

• Guard your heart from pride, rivalry, and quiet resentment

• Grow spiritually through everyday moments of disappointment—yours and others’

This conversation is honest, reflective, and challenging in the best way. Whether you’re navigating competition, relationships, or personal growth, this episode will encourage you to lead with compassion—even when it doesn’t come naturally.
