Use Empathy as a Disruptor

Empathy transforms negativity. Gossip often stems from insecurity or pain. A question like, “Is something bothering you?” can redirect conversations and foster healing.

Ephesians 4:29 reminds us: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up.”

Empathy disrupts gossip and brings light into dark situations.
