In this episode, Evan Wickham sits down with Dr. Nijay Gupta—New Testament scholar, author, and professor—to talk about the transforming power of empathy in the life of a disciple.

Nijay shares why empathy isn’t an optional virtue but a core expression of following Jesus, especially in a time when the church faces cultural tension and division. Together they discuss racial and ethnic unity, formation through crisis, and the call to make the church a community of rehumanization and reconciliation.

If you’ve ever wondered how the gospel speaks into our polarized moment—or how to cultivate empathy without losing conviction—this conversation is for you.
