Empathy has become one of the most celebrated virtues in modern culture, shaping how society approaches issues like abortion, immigration, and gender identity. In this talk, Allie Beth Stuckey examines the limits of empathy and warns that when it is untethered from truth, it can distort moral reasoning and public policy. Drawing on insights from moral psychology—including Yale professor Paul Bloom’s research showing that empathy is emotionally biased and often blind to long-term consequences—Stuckey argues that empathy alone is an unreliable guide for justice. Instead, she calls Christians to pursue a deeper ethic rooted in love, truth, and moral clarity—one that acknowledges suffering without surrendering wisdom, responsibility, or the dignity of every human life.
