You were made to live deeply loved—yes, even in the middle of emotional pain, worry, or conflict. But too often, when we’re hurting, we hide. We pull away from God and others, settling for shallow connections and carrying our burdens alone.

What’s missing? Empathy.

This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I’m joined by Drs. Bill and Kristi Gaultiere, co-founders of Soul Shepherding and authors of Deeply Loved: Receiving and Reflecting God's Great Empathy for You.

In this powerful conversation, we discuss:

*How to trade self-judgment for God’s empathy and grace

*How empathy heals emotional wounds and helps us overcome distress

*The Four A’s of Empathy—and how to practice them with yourself and others

*How Jesus models empathy and invites you to experience His understanding and care

Empathy is not coddling. It’s not rescuing. True empathy respects God’s truth, empowers personal responsibility, and brings deep soul healing. I pray this conversation helps you feel deeply loved by God—and gives you the courage to offer that same love and empathy to others.
