Facebook Update

Dear Followers In Christ:

Over on the The Christian Empath Facebook community page, I received a request for a closed group.  A closed group on Facebook requires a moderator to approve requests to join the page.  The benefit is that only members of the group can see posts; they are not shared on your friends' news feeds.

There is an expressed need for a safe space to connect with other followers who have an interest in this gift.  Some are uncertain and lonely while others are confident in their "walk." Some of us are trying to "muddle through in the Spirit...even if feeling clumsy or ill-equipped" (to paraphrase from today's sermon at my church!)

I am looking for a volunteer interested in starting and moderating a closed group on Facebook for those interested in the Christian gift of empathy.  Please let me know either via the Facebook page or my Contact form here on the blog.

Blessings,
The Christian Empath

So I'm An Empath

So, I'm an empath. That would explain some things about me. I was afraid to embrace my empathic abilities, but then I realized that God gives us all our gifts which would include being empathic. Of course, this would not hold if I had gone out and sought this ability through the occult, but I did not.
When I sense things, I feel a very strong compassion and concern for others which could not possibly be bad. So, I have begun to embrace this identity, the Christian Empath, using discernment and good judgement, all in a context with God - through prayer.
