Rachel and Jason tackle “toxic empathy,” trigger warnings, and what it really means to love others without losing truth. Can empathy go too far? A thoughtful, faith-filled discussion from Weatherford Daze inspired by Allie Beth Stuckey’s debate “1 Conservative Christian vs. 20 Progressive Christians.”

They explore how empathy, while often seen as purely positive, can sometimes drift into dangerous territory when it means endorsing harmful choices or confusing love with approval. Along the way, they discuss trigger warnings, trauma, autism sensitivities, and how Christians can practice compassion without compromising conviction.

Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and everyday examples (even Twilight!), the Weatherfords unpack what it means to truly love others with both grace and truth — the way Jesus did.

Highlights include:

• The difference between sympathy and empathy
• When compassion becomes enabling
• Trigger warnings, trauma, and unhealed wounds
• How Jesus modeled perfect empathy and perfect holiness
• Why discernment and truth are essential parts of love
