Dr. Owen Strachan concludes his spirited discussion with author and speaker, Allie Beth Stuckey, about her book, Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion.

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 will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.” Tune in and be encouraged as Allie challenges us not to become “unmoored from biblical truth and objective reality.”
