As Christians, we know that one of the greatest calls on our lives (other than loving God Himself), is to love others. But how do we do that, and how we can create diverse relationships with people who think, look, believe and act differently than us without putting our own faith or families at risk in the process? Today on the Equipping Godly Women podcast, we’re talking with Lauren Casper, author of the new book, “Loving Well in a Broken World: Discover the Hidden Power of Empathy” about all this and more.

We Mention: It's Okay About It All God's Children International Ethiopian calendar Timkat The Little Boy Whose Name Means Peace How We Do Our Daughter's Hair Jessica Turner When God Made You Michael Twitty Matthew 22:36-40 (The Greatest Commandment) Choose Joy Takeaway Truths: I want to be intentional to put in the time so I can raise my children as children of color, because they are, and not try to make them fit into my white world. I need to learn about cultural differences because I don't want to erase the heritage they came from, as much as I possibly can. So much of adoption is about loss. As beautiful as the process of adoption is, it is impossible to ignore that there is an enormous component of loss there, particularly for the children. I do everything I can to embrace and celebrate their culture because I want to show them it is not something they were rescued out of. It is our responsibility not to look away because how can we love each other well when we do? This is how we raise racially aware children; by putting diversity in their world from early on. I have recognized my need to have a lifelong posture of student and continuously be asking and learning and listening. Empathy means to treat someone how they want to be treated and that requires listening and learning. Journal and Reflection Page: Lauren Casper - Journal and Reflection Page
