Highly Sensitive People, Christian Culture, & a Lost Language of Intimacy with God

May 16, 2010

Isn’t it amazing how time can turn everything on its head and send a completely different message? The culture changes, the language changes, and what used to mean one thing comes to mean the complete opposite. I suggest it is the highly sensitive population that’s been most severely affected by this loss of intimacy with God in Christian culture. If you have a history in the church, this just might shift something deep inside you and enrich your relationship with God forever.

Utter Delight – a.k.a. Jesus

April 15, 2010

Thirsty? Come take a look with me at a fascinating phrase King David used in one of his ancient poems. He writes, “You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures” (Psalm 36:8). Who knew God had one of those?

A Story Like You’ve Never Heard – Especially for Highly Sensitive People

April 3, 2010

In honor of Good Friday and Easter, I’ve written a story for you. It starts with my encounter with the emotionally beautiful Holy Spirit a few years ago and then it flashes back to the dawn of humanity. Did you know that when we grasp that God is richly affectionate and deliciously good, the whole religious story shifts into something fascinating and wonderful? Come join me in seeing with new eyes.

Meeting God in Different Cultures

November 4, 2009

For every behavior I think of as merely “religious,” someone is doing it in a meaningful way from an authentic heart of love for God, and God is expressing Himself back in that same language. I learned some profound lessons about honoring facets of God that are foreign to me when I visited Israel with my husband three years ago.

God the Sweet-Talker

September 6, 2009

One thing I’ve noticed over the years of listening to lots of highly sensitive Christians: God interacts differently with highly sensitive people.
I can’t address how God talks to everyone else, but I do know that the Holy Spirit speaks tenderly to the highly sensitive person. He doesn’t holler, raise a ruckus, harangue, scold, frown [...]
