We Know - 1 John 5: 13-21 Josh Brown

Is having kids or not having kids more selfish?  Many of the young socialists today are wrestling with this little slice of supposed woke social conscience. What is a Christian response to having kids? Anne Kennedy author of Nailed It - Sarcastic Devotionals for Angry and Worn Out People - she blogs at: preventingrace.com - Anne lives in upstate NY with her husband Matt and Anglican priest and her six children.

Empathy has its limits.  We are gaining in our awareness that there are few things that can help us live more fruitful lives than empathy, something of which we are in very short supply, especially when it comes to politics. At the same time, many have simply assumed that for someone to be truly empathic with me means that they will give me exactly what I want, how I want it, when I want it. But real empathy actually requires that the one who is providing it actually feels MORE than what I feel, not only what I feel. This has significant implications for leadership, parenting, and life in the church when it comes to spiritual formation. Dr. Curt Thompson - a phychiatrist in private practice in Falls Church, VA. His latest book is "The Soul of Shame: Retelling the Stories We Believe About Ourselves"
