Do You Sacrifice Yourselves on the 'Altar of Others'? Renewal Conversation with Leslie Davis
As Christian Givers, we love to serve and give to others, but how often do we find ourselves overdoing it and then running on empty?
I am reminded of the Bible parable of the 10 virgins and how the five foolish ones had no more oil in their lamps. Sometimes, giving too much to others can feel this way: we have no more "inner oil" to sustain our giving.
From this perspective, it is almost as if we are "sacrificing on the altar of others." It happened to me (twice) and to Leslie Davis, bestselling author of "The Journey From FAILing to HEALing" and "You Can’t Eat Love,"
Leslie's twenty-year journey to God helped her overcome this, develop emotional intelligence, learn about self-love healthily, and look for God in unexpected places.
Now she knows that the only person who kept her away from God was herself, and she empowers her audience with a transformative message of faith, healing, and self-discovery.
With warmth, authenticity, and biblical wisdom, Leslie connects deeply with people from all walks of life, guiding them toward healing and a stronger relationship with Christ.
