Toxic Empathy

How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion

Allie Beth Stuckey

In 'Toxic Empathy', Allie Beth Stuckey explores how progressives exploit Christian compassion by using empathy as a tool of manipulation. She delves into five heated issues: abortion, gender, sexuality, immigration, and social justice. Stuckey argues that progressives use catchy mantras to present their perspectives as empathetic, while ignoring the other side of the moral equation. The book is about submitting empathy to God’s definitions of love, goodness, and justice, equipping Christians with research-backed, Biblical truths to dismantle progressive lies that have permeated culture and the church.

Notes from Underground

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Notes from Underground" is a novella that delves into the mind of an unnamed narrator, a bitter and alienated individual who rails against reason and societal norms. The work is considered a precursor to existentialist literature, exploring themes of isolation, nihilism, and the human condition. Dostoevsky's masterful use of first-person narration allows readers to experience the narrator's turbulent thoughts and emotions. The novella's exploration of free will and the complexities of human psychology continues to resonate with readers today. Its influence on literature and philosophy is undeniable, shaping the works of later writers and thinkers.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, but that’s not the smell of love in the air, it’s another week of the world losing its damn mind. Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan are back with Allie Beth Stuckey and Lynden Blake joining to help them understand what's happening in the world. From Bad Bunny’s halftime that required a DuoLingo subscription, trying to figure out who Clavicular is, where Nancy Guthrie is, and another horrific school tragedy that mainstream media refuses to report on honestly.
