Summary
Allie sits down with New York Times columnist David French for a candid discussion on faith, culture, and politics. They debate over the definition of “toxic empathy” and how it's used to advance progressive causes on issues like gender, sexuality, and social justice. Allie argues that compassion must be grounded in biblical truth rather than emotional manipulation. French says the real problem is selective or incomplete empathy and that he’s seen an uptick in “Christian cruelty.” The conversation explores where Christians should draw lines between mercy, justice, and cultural engagement in an increasingly polarized America. Nothing is off the table, including hot-button topics like Trump, Luigi Mangione, January 6, abortion, and pronouns. Allie and David find some fascinating points of agreement despite public disagreements online. Share the Arrows 2026 is on October 10 in Dallas, Texas!
