Empathy: The Way of Jesus — Companion Digital Bible Study to Podcast Episode #120

Empathy is not weakness. It is the way of Jesus.

This companion Bible study was created to deepen your experience of Episode #120 of the Your Joyful Order Podcast and help you move from simply listening to being formed.

This is not a feel-good devotional.

Inside this downloadable study, you’ll explore:

• The biblical foundation of empathy in Romans 12

Each section includes:

• Historical and cultural context

• A guided SOAP study of Luke 10:33

This guide is designed to help you:

• Study Scripture in context
