Faith Talks: Cultivating Compassion in Difficult Times
When we are faced with anger, stress, frustration, and division, it can be difficult to remember the good things. Life can be overwhelming and hard. How do we stay kind and compassionate when things are so tense?
The book Appreciate These Things: Eight Ways of Cultivating Compassion finds an answer in Philippians 4:8: “Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” On this episode we will welcome author Jill Duffield as a guest on the live recording of the Faith Talks podcast to discuss her book, Appreciate These Things, and the importance of this scripture.
By way of background, Duffield is a senior minister and an author of several other books, and she formerly served as the editor of The Presbyterian Outlook. She holds an M.Div. from Union Presbyterian Seminary and a D.Min. from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
You will leave this conversation feeling fulfilled and grateful for the good things in life.
