Key Question: Are you missing compassion? Or are you missing the confidence to put compassion into action?
Compassion comes from the Lord. We can all agree on that. But what should we do with that compassion?
Too often, those of us who have compassion lack the confidence to know how best to put it into action. In a world where any decision can garnish political backlash, be viewed as a political stance, or impact our busy lives, how are we supposed to show love and compassion for others? Do we even know where to find the very people we are called to love and be compassionate for?
It is an honor today to have Bri Stensrud join us for this engaging and honest conversation. Bri is an author, human dignity advocate, and the Director of Women of Welcome. Her passion is to equip the Church to engage more consistently and tangibly in holistic human dignity issues.
In this episode, you’ll hear why we often hinder ourselves from living as God calls us to live, how to humanize the topics that are often just labeled as “social issues,” how to carve out time in our schedules to be available for a compassionate life, and so much more.
NEIGHBOR-TO-NEIGHBOR IMPLICATIONS:
Too often, we let the talking points of politics, friends, or what we see on social media cloud out the full beauty and complexity of the life God calls us to live in Scripture. Are you living your life in a way that shields you from the experience of interacting with those who are different from you? This life requires us to carve out margin from our busy schedules to be available to provide support and care for those who need it. God calls all of us to be involved in different ways, but we are all called to be involved.
