Being Compassionate - the survival of the friendliest

Different with Steve Chalke and Jill Rowe

Show Notes

In this episode of the Different podcast, Jill Rowe and Steve Chalke talk about being compassionate. From realising that compassion means to suffer with, we explore how it is the action that can save us and transform us both individually and as a global family. We see that ultimately, life isn't about the survival of the fittest, but the survival of the friendliest. From neuroscience to geopolitics, from our health and wellbeing, to the necessity of proximity and cycles of compassion, it becomes clear through our chat that being compassionate is something we most definitely need, and something we must definitely be. We pray this conversation helps.

Our title music is written and performed by Jerome Alexander (Message to Bears).
