Thinking Out Loud

The Sin of Empathy?


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive deep into the controversial conversation around the so-called "sin of empathy"—a topic that has sparked significant debate within Christian circles. Nathan offers his hot take, followed by Cameron’s more reflective approach, as we unpack the theological, cultural, and political dimensions of this complex issue. Drawing on the works of Joe Rigney and Ali Beth Stuckey, as well as commentary from figures like Elon Musk, we explore whether empathy—long considered a Christian virtue—can become problematic when it distorts truth or compromises identity. With references to theological shifts, cultural pressure points, and the nuances between empathy, sympathy, and compassion, this is a must-watch for Christians seeking deep, thoughtful analysis of current events through a biblical lens. Join us for a rich discussion that doesn't shy away from nuance, challenges assumptions, and aims to equip believers to engage the culture with both truth and grace.
