Episode 9: Compassion & Self-Compassion
We’re back, and we’re talking about compassion. The word means “to suffer together,” something a lot of people are being forced to learn in this time of pandemics and large-scale protesting. Lindsay introduces the concept of self compassion; being able to understand our own individual sufferings and giving ourselves grace. Other interesting topics: can Christians glean wisdom and practices from other faith traditions? How do the ways we were treated as kids affect our own parenting strategies?
