“How Can the Church Help? Empathy”

HOST: Andrew Crowe

Show Notes:

• There are many ways that the church can help someone who is going through mental anguish. This week, Andrew discusses how the church can be empathetic.

Outline of this episode:

• James 1:19
  • We need to be empathetic.
• Romans 12:15
  • Rejoice means to be “full of cheer”
  • Christianity is not a competition.
  • Weep means to “sob, wail”
  • The idea is that we are there for our brethren in good times and bad.
• It is hard sometimes to show the empathy we would like to show.
  • Example
  • While we may sometimes want to say just the right thing, the right thing may be saying a praying and crying with them.
    • This includes if someone comes forward confessing sin or asking for encouragement.
    • Pray with them, for them, and encourage them.
