If we're not empathic, if we can't understand and share the feelings of another and try to see their point of view, and even if we disagree with them, at least have a compassionate curiosity towards their opinion, it's going to be really hard for us to have a healthy relationship with them.
Ever find yourself stuck in a heated disagreement, unsure how to bridge the gap? In this episode of 'Healing Connections', hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the art of disagreeing with empathy. Austin Hill defines empathy as 'understanding and sharing the feelings of another and trying to see their point of view, and even if we disagree with them, at least have a compassionate curiosity towards their opinion'.
They discuss how empathy is not just about agreeing but about genuinely trying to understand where the other person is coming from. This approach can make a world of difference in maintaining healthy relationships. Hill emphasizes that empathy is especially vital for Christians, as it mirrors the humility and grace that Jesus demonstrated. By embodying empathy, Christians can better model the gospel and foster stronger, more compassionate connections.
Tune in to hear how you can turn conflicts into opportunities for deeper understanding and connection.
