In this episode Becket Cook interviews Dr. Joe Rigney who joins us to unpack the themes of his book The Sin of Empathy. We explore how untethered compassion can lead to destructive outcomes, the cultural shift in empathy's role, and how Christians can pursue true, soberminded compassion rooted in biblical truth. From emotional manipulation to the progressive gaze, this conversation covers crucial cultural and theological ground.
