The Power of Empathy: Giving Validation

Join us in this enlightening City Rev Life Podcast episode as we explore validation's key role in expressing and practicing empathy. Pastor Robey Barnes and Jeremy Agosto deepen the understanding of validation not as a sign of agreement but as an acknowledgment of another person's feelings or perspective.

The discussions revolve around the potential of validation in nurturing companionships, reducing feelings of judgment, and cultivating relational intimacy. We delve into empathy's ability to drive our understanding that others' actions can be comprehensible, if not necessarily correct. This understanding, in turn, forbids feelings of absurdity and enables us to connect deeper with other humans.

Our conversation provides methods of offering validation correctly. We shed light on the absence of judgment or self-righteousness and instead suggest the importance of understanding and accepting the other's feelings. It reaffirms listening as an essential aspect of authentic validation. Enjoy this episode as we unravel practical insights into practicing validation, a fundamental element of empathy.
