The Narrow Gate Podcast

Thank you Question Everything with Patrick Ryan, I enjoyed our conversation.

In this episode, Patrick and I found ourselves talking about our personal transformations and the point of despair that we both reached before reaching for God.

He became helpless and hopeless, which is exactly where I found myself twenty-six years ago.

The video quality is poor due to my internet connection, but it’s still okay.

Thanks for listening!

Órla.

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Humble Service in the Body of Christ

3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. 4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

Love in Action

9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:

“If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

— Romans 12:1-21

Scriptures mentioned in the podcast:

“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

— Hebrews 121-2

“Those who look to Him are radiant;their faces are never covered with shame.”

— Psalm 34:5

Hello everyone,

Let us learn how to clean out all our old wounds and unhealthy emotions.

This is what it means to be free in Christ.

“We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”

— 2 Corinthians 10:5

Carl Jung believed that true freedom arises from individuation, the process of realizing one's authentic self

Jung did not use the term empath in his teachings.

I am using it as a generic term to encompass those who have a soft, sensitive, empathetic nature, are soulful, and now follow the Lord.

From a Jungian perspective, empaths can achieve personal freedom and sovereignty by learning to distinguish their own emotions from the collective unconscious or the feelings of others.

Jung's concepts suggest that empaths achieve freedom through self-awareness, establishing boundaries, and pursuing their unique path towards their authentic self.

The empath travels alone, but aloneness is not loneliness.

The empath must retreat from society as preparation to receive visions and plans.

For the Christian empath, this means, getting in touch with their own emotions and identities.

When they get clear on who they are again, they are called back out into the world to serve.

To remain in isolation would defeat the purpose of God’s work in them, which is to be a light in a lost world.

Thank you for reading!

Alleluia! alleluia!

“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son and they will call him Emmanuel, a name which means ‘God-is-with-us’.”

— Matthew 1:23

The angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream

“This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about : His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit., Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).

When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.”

— Matthew 1:18-24

O Holy night! The stars are brightly shiningIt is the night of our dear Savior's birthLong lay the world in sin and error pining'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worthA thrill of hope the weary world rejoicesFor yonder breaks a new and glorious mornFall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices!O night divine, O night when Christ was bornO night, O Holy night, O night divine!

Truly He taught us to love one another;His law is love and His Gospel is PeaceChains shall He break, for the slave is our brotherAnd in His name, all oppression shall ceaseSweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise weLet all within us Praise His Holy nameChrist is the Lord; O praise His name forever!His power and glory evermore proclaimHis power and glory evermore proclaim!

O Holy Night by Celine Dion

I wish you a happy Christmas & a prosperous, peaceful new year!

love, Órla
