Will This Soften Our Hard Hearts?
In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach explores how reading fiction and engaging with stories can increase empathy and help us better understand the experiences and perspectives of others. He connects the decline of reading with our growing reliance on short-form content, challenging listeners to slow down, embrace nuance, and make space for stories that help us see the humanity in others. Drawing from Scripture and the example of Jesus, Pastor Zach reminds us that understanding someone's story can help us better rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn.
