Episode 5: Attaching Confidence to Compassion (w/ Bri Stensrud)


Listen Later

During the month of June, applications are open to become a TFI Advocate! TFI Advocates bridge the gap between churches and agencies right in their local community. Get the details and apply right here.

Compassion comes from the Lord. We can all agree on that. But what should we do with that compassion?

Too often, those of us who have compassion lack the confidence to know how best to put it into action. In a world where any decision can garnish political backlash, be viewed as a political stance, or impact our busy lives, how are we supposed to show love and compassion for others? Do we even know where to find the very people we are called to love and be compassionate for?

It is an honor today to have Bri Stensrud join us for this engaging and honest conversation. Bri is an author, human dignity advocate, and the Director of Women of Welcome. Her passion is to equip the Church to engage more consistently and tangibly in holistic human dignity issues.

In this episode, you'll hear why we often hinder ourselves from living as God calls us to live, how to humanize the topics that are often just labeled as "social issues," how to carve out time in our schedules to be available for a compassionate life, and so much more.
