Hello and welcome to a very special episode of Faith Adjacon. I'm your host and resident Bible scholar, Aaron Moon. And joining me today is, of course, your co-host and guidance counselor, Evan Dodson.

And it's something to be celebrated. So we made an entire merch line out of it. We have

t-shirts and sweatshirts that say empathy is a superpower as well as a brand new faith-adjacent

empathy club that you can join by way of sticker or embroidered t-shirt. Head over to faithadjacent.com
