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

Online Resources for Empaths

I am endeavoring to create a list of online resources for empaths.  As a christian empath, I am trying to avoid sites that lean too much towards the occult for my comfort.  I hope to include many sites that present the gift of empathy from the Christian perspective.  Please use discernment and good judgement extracting the information from these sites that is helpful and appropriate.

Crying at a Birthday Party?!?

There's no crying in baseball, and who would expect to be teary-eyed at a birthday party?  Well, that was me.  The lights went out, the candles were lit, the group began to sing, and I suddenly realized for the young child's birthday there was no father in attendance.
