When Loneliness Has Become Your Normal

What to Do When You've Lost Your Sense of Compassion
When Your Compassion Runs Dry Have you ever noticed the slow fade of your own empathy? It’s a disquieting experience when, after a long period of caring deeply for others, you begin to feel numb. The news of a tragedy barely registers, a friend’s struggles elicit only a polite nod, and the vibrant wellspring of your compassion seems to have run dry.

About the Host
Bart Leger
I’m a husband, father, pastor, and lifelong encourager with a passion for helping people grow in their faith, especially when life feels full and fast-paced. After forty years of ministry and walking with people through both joy and crisis, I’ve learned that the most powerful moments with God often come in the middle of our everyday routines.
Whether I’m teaching the Bible, offering support during difficult seasons, or simply sharing a word of encouragement, my heart is to remind you that God is faithful—even in the chaos. I don’t believe you have to be perfect to grow spiritually. You just need a willing heart and a little space to pause, listen, and trust that God is working in your story.
