People often turn their heads away from encouraging words plastered on the streets. They scoff and think these words are nothing but cliché. After all, how can simple words heal gaping wounds? But this is exactly what Amy did. She changed people’s lives, and ultimately the world, with some yard signs and simple motivational words.
In this episode, we talk to Amy Wolff, a speaker, coach and founder of Don’t Give Up Signs about the power of words and empathy. She relays the story behind her viral yard signs that inspired and helped many people. Amy candidly shares the events that challenged her belief system and helped her become more empathetic to others. We also talk about faith, politics, and the importance of nuance.
Listen to the episode if you want to know more about the power of words and empathy.
Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:[32:34] “God told me, ‘Amy, I need you to hate your sin more than anyone else's sin. And as long as you hate yours more and you don't start to categorize and measure certain sins, I need you to hate yours more and stay humbled before me. And it will allow you to love other people like I love them.’”
[42:59] “I was forced to grow up really quickly but it benefited me in that I never was under the false assumption that I have forever.”
[45:03] “Here's the slow, steady evolution of me learning, of me transforming the way I've judged people and evaluated people's experiences. But that wasn't instant; that was so slow in a huge transformation.”
[45:31] “Sometimes we need to be patient because the progress will be slow, but it will be deep and it will be real. So be patient with those in your lives that are slow to understand.”
[49:18] “There's nuance—it's not so black and white, yes or no, all in or all out, you're either for me or against me. There's nuance in the middle, and it's very uncomfortable because you have to be willing to hold both and not evaluate or try to tip the scales.”
