About this listen
In this episode, we explore the profound difference between empathy and compassion through the timeless lens of the Good Samaritan. We unpack how empathy—truly feeling another’s pain—can become the spark that moves us toward compassion, which is love in action. But we also sound a cautionary note: empathy without healthy boundaries can turn toxic, leaving us overwhelmed, burnt out, or even numb to suffering. Using the Samaritan’s example, we discuss how to channel empathy into meaningful, restorative action while guarding against emotional fatigue that can lead to apathy. Whether you’re a caregiver, leader, or simply someone who wants to love others well, this conversation will help you cultivate a heart that feels deeply and acts wisely.
