Summary

Today we're talking about something that will probably be quite controversial among Christian women: the danger of empathy. While empathy is usually a positive thing, focusing too much on it will cause you to compromise on things you really shouldn't. And unfortunately, the idea of empathy has been weaponized and hijacked by ideologues who want to push a narrative and crush any dissenting opinions. We don't need to abandon empathy entirely, but we do need to remember to balance it with critical thinking, before our desire to be empathetic leads us to affirm secular truth instead of God's truth.

0:00.0	All right guys, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend last week last Thursday.
0:15.3	I was in Auburn, Alabama speaking to some students there.
0:20.2	And I think some people from the community with Charlie Kirk and turning point USA.
0:24.3	We talked about all kinds of issues that are deemed very controversial today, but it
0:29.0	was a great crowd.
0:30.4	They were super engaged and we only had one dissenting question.
0:36.1	And you know, I really appreciated the fact that she had the courage to stand up in front
0:40.1	of a bunch of conservatives and ask the question that she knew was going to kind of be antagonistic.
0:45.6	She did have a little bit of a toad and I told her that, but I also told her that I was
0:50.2	very proud of her for standing up and for saying something that she believed and asked
0:54.4	a question that she thought was an important question to ask.
0:58.8	And we as conservatives should learn a lesson from that kind of courage that if you are
1:04.0	in the minority or if you are surrounding people that you know we're going to push back
1:07.8	against you, you still should have the courage to stand up and say what you know to be true

1:36.6	it can also be very difficult to try to balance everything that is going on.
1:42.0	But thankfully there are short seasons and I have a lot of support and I'm very thankful
1:47.3	for that and I'm thankful for you guys who come out and come to the talks.
