Toxic Empathy

How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion

Allie Beth Stuckey

In 'Toxic Empathy', Allie Beth Stuckey explores how progressives exploit Christian compassion by using empathy as a tool of manipulation. She delves into five heated issues: abortion, gender, sexuality, immigration, and social justice. Stuckey argues that progressives use catchy mantras to present their perspectives as empathetic, while ignoring the other side of the moral equation. The book is about submitting empathy to God’s definitions of love, goodness, and justice, equipping Christians with research-backed, Biblical truths to dismantle progressive lies that have permeated culture and the church.

School of Darkness

Bella Dodd

Bella Dodd's "School of Darkness" is a compelling autobiography detailing her experiences as a high-ranking member of the Communist Party USA. Dodd's account offers a rare insider's perspective on the party's internal dynamics, its strategies, and its ideological struggles. She describes the party's purges, its manipulation of individuals, and the intense pressure to conform. The book provides valuable insights into the workings of the American communist movement and the personal costs of political commitment. Dodd's later renunciation of communism adds another layer of complexity to her narrative.

Filmmaker Chad Jackson joins us today as we unpack his upcoming docuseries, "The MLK Project," which challenges the narrative that MLK was the unifying Christian hero we’ve been taught. From his ties to Marxist ideologies and rejection of core Christian doctrines to the manufactured moments that shaped the civil rights era, Chad reveals a side of MLK that will leave you questioning everything. We also explore how these ideologies continue to influence the church today, often to its peril.
