Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion Part 1 & 2 by Dr. James Dobson

October 14-15, 2024
Guest: Allie Beth Stuckey

Part 1
The Bible provides an objective, reliable standard for testing everything in life. This being the case, we can be confident that its principles provide a solid foundation on which to stand. Dr. Owen Strachan, senior director of the Dobson Culture Center at JDFI, talks with author and speaker Allie Beth Stuckey about her new book titled Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion. Listen and be encouraged as Allie defines "toxic empathy" and highlights the difference between what it is and the truth of Scripture. Second Timothy 3:16-17 says, "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work" (ESV).

Part 2
Dr. Owen Strachan concludes his spirited discussion with author and speaker Allie Beth Stuckey about her book, Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion. They discuss the victim mentality that all too often plays a part for those wanting to believe a lie and give way to their feelings to justify their sin. As Christians, we are called to be more like Jesus, who is, as Dr. Strachan explains, "the perfect blend of truth and love." Ephesians 4:15 says, "... speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ" (ESV).
