In this episode of Cruciform Conversations (in partnership with Future of Faith), I talk to theologian Dr. Vincent Bacote about what has given rise to the war on empathy, he implications of empathy in political and social discourse, the diverse voices within the Black Evangelical community, and what he learned making the documentary Black+Evangelical.
