Blind to the Battle: The Clancy Trial

Episode 13 - What happens when empathy goes too far—and accountability disappears? In this episode of The Conviction Exchange, we dive into the difficult conversation surrounding the Clancy trial, mental health, postpartum depression, psychiatric care, justice, and the growing confusion over truth and responsibility. But this conversation goes much deeper than one trial. We talk about the danger of “toxic empathy,” the importance of recognizing our wounds without allowing them to become excuses, and what it means to let God redeem the broken places in our lives. We also wrestle with the spiritual battle happening beneath the surface of our culture—and why Scripture reminds us that our fight is ultimately not against flesh and blood. Can we have compassion without abandoning truth? Can we acknowledge mental illness while still believing in accountability? And what if the very things that broke us are the things God wants to use to help someone else? This is a heavy conversation—but an important one. Everyone has an opinion. Not everyone has a conviction. What are you willing to stand on when everybody else sits down? 📖 I Never Knew: Find Healing and Renewal After Trauma by Phyllis Robertson Thomas releases October 6.
