Several emotion-filled issues are driving this election cycle, and many progressive organizations and media outlets seem to rely on empathy to gain support on issues like abortion, gender, and immigration. Host of the BlazeTV Podcast 'Relatable' and author Allie Beth Stuckey came to a concerning conclusion when examining their claims: progressives are manipulating Christian values to advance agendas that often contradict scripture.   Allie joins Rachel to discuss how she covers this complex topic in her new book, “Toxic Empathy: How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion,” and how people can approach current events through a biblical lens.
