Episode 42 - Empathy Over Forgiveness

In Episode 42 of 7,000 Volts: Living an Electrified Life, LJ Tucker explores the theme “Empathy Over Forgiveness,” continuing his message from the previous episode, I’m Not a Judge and Neither Are You. He explains that the antidote to judgment is empathy — choosing to see others’ struggles with compassion instead of criticism. Through scripture and personal stories, including a humbling experience from his early days in tree work, Tucker shows how empathy transforms not only relationships but also personal peace and growth. He urges listeners to replace judgment with prayer, to lift others up rather than tear them down, and to focus on becoming the best versions of themselves. Ultimately, he reminds us that God calls us to understanding, not condemnation, and that true peace comes when we extend to others the same grace we hope to receive.
