Summary

In this episode, I interview Katherine Douglass and Brittany Tausen of Love Your Neighbor about how psychology helps explain why so many churches struggle with empathy, accountability, and actual love—especially in times of political polarization and social harm. We talk about trauma, reactivity, power, and why unexamined theology often protects institutions instead of people.
