Growing Young Podcast | Episode: Empathy
Description:
In this episode, Tony and Genevieve explore Empathy, the second core commitment of Growing Young, beautifully illustrated by Luke 18:16 — “But Jesus called the children to him and said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.’” (NIV)
They unpack what empathy truly means—and what it doesn’t—and discuss how churches can embody this value to meet young people (age 25 and under) in the midst of discovering their identity, purpose, and place in the church and world.
What you’ll learn:
The biblical foundation of empathy in ministry
How empathy shapes healthy relationships with those under 25
Why empathy is key to helping young people feel valued and included
