"Urge someone" means to strongly encourage or attempt to convince another to do or believe in something; it's more about getting another to do something quickly and conveying the importance of that action. Here are a few examples. Ex: I urge you to take your medicine! It'll keep you healthy. Ex: The government is urging everyone to stay home if they are sick. Ex: She was urging Jim to get his car fixed.
