Two pastors claim “empathy” is a modern sin that erodes truth, wrecks marriages, and might usher in civil war. Cute theory. In this breakdown, we separate word games from reality: what empathy actually is (attune + understand + help—with boundaries), how real counseling works, and why “never apologize unless Heaven says so” is just stonewalling in a suit.
If you’ve ever been told empathy makes you lose the shore—bring a rope. We’re keeping our balance and our brains.
