Pierce VanDunk, of Antioch Community Church of Waltham joins us to share what he has seen our ANE Relational Value of Radical Compassion to look like in his own life.

Curious what we mean when we say Radical Compassion? Here's how we define and where we see it in the Bible:

Radical Compassion | Engaging brokenness with the heart of Jesus 

Jesus looked at broken humanity through the lens of love and responded with compassion. He loved everyone just as they needed to be loved. We follow Jesus’ lead by seeing the world through God’s grace-filled eyes, and becoming real-time messengers of His grace, hope, and healing.

Honoring Collaboration | Empowering the strengths of others 

Jesus lived with and developed an exceptional team of disciple-makers. Their diverse spiritual gifts, talents, and personalities joined together to become the epicenter of the new Church—the hope of the world. As Jesus’ followers, we emulate His process by honoring and empowering the unique grace that resides within every believer.
