Do you ever struggle to truly understand another person’s perspective—especially in moments of tension or strong emotion?
In our fast-paced, often disconnected world, empathy can feel like a lost skill. Yet as followers of Jesus, we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves and respond with compassion, patience, and grace.
In this two-hour training, you will:
Learn practical tools for active listening
Gain biblical insight into why empathy matters in every relationship
Discover strategies to overcome barriers to connection
Practice responding with grace in difficult conversations
