Show Notes

Maybe you’ve been hearing this word "empath", especially in the last five years. What does it mean? Basically, an empath tends to sense and feel emotions as if they are part of their own experience. Someone else’s pain or happiness become your pain and happiness. Growing into being an “empath” is a long process, ongoing, needing careful tending along the way. How do you lay all of that alongside a faith in a greater power? What about choosing to tend an ongoing relationship with God through, in part, organized religion--including having a spiritual home in a church like Redeemer? We’ll be exploring all of that with our first guest, Meredith Sipe-Sumner.
