Jun 22nd, 2025 7:39 PM

You were never too sensitive. You were always too wonderful to be suppressed. Christians have been told to be grateful, to give up understanding and... always be "closing" on converting others. American Christianity has a book making the rounds claiming that empathy is dangerous—a kind of emotional weakness that leads people astray. That it’s “soft on sin.” Join Paul and Ashley Swearengin for the 🎙 Evangelicalish Sunday Livestream and decide if Empathy is toxic — or if this is just toxic theology? #Evangelicalish #ReligiousRightReligiouslyWrong - #ProgressiveChristian #SpiritualDeconstruction #QueerTheology #FaithAfterReligion #HolyRebellion #SacredRebuttals 🎧 Thank you for listening to Evangelicalish!Connect with Us:Join Pastor Paul's Substack Community: Sacred RebellionCheck out Paul’s international blog with the anti-empire group The Quollective 📲 Follow Evangelicalish:Instagram | TikTok | YouTubePaul's Blog on The Quollective Blog Site 🎧 Subscribe & Review:Help us reach others by subscribing, rating, and leaving a review wherever you listen. 💛 Support our work: ISH/Pastor-Paul WebsiteBuy Paul’s Book: Religious Right Religiously Wrong: A Modern Day Parable 🌐 More from Paul & Ashley:ISH/Pastor-Paul WebsiteEvangelicalish Livestream Sundays at 9am PTThank you for being part of this growing, healing, irreverent, and hopeful community.
