A quote I wrote down from @jarrodmckenna.bsky.social in the episode:

“It is standing with Christ as he stands with those who are scapegoated and oppressed and marginalized and on the receiving end of injustice with their backs against the wall; it is in that position that we gain enemies,

So, @jarrodmckenna.bsky.social calls Making It Plain a "nonviolent messianic-cocktail". It's an urgent and necessary book for our times.

Limited empathy is preyed upon by fascists who want empathy to stop at ethnic or national boarders so to be weaponised against an “other”. Empathy is not only why we care, it can be abused to become why we don’t care for those outside our limited “own”. www.patreon.com/posts/124912...

Bless you.

Those who think empathy is the enemy of the spiritual journey know nothing of the mystics, the saints, and the heart of GOD revealed in Jesus of Nazareth.
