He critically examines Pastor Joe Rigney’s book, The Sin of Empathy, which argues that empathy is particularly dangerous for women and should be rejected in Christian teachings. Also joining the discussion is Dr. Jill Richardson, who offers practical strategies for consuming news without feeling overwhelmed. She shares small, actionable steps to stay informed while maintaining hope, joy, and humor in the fight against authoritarianism. Tune in for an insightful conversation on why empathy matters—and why some want to erase it.
