Bridging the Gap: Between Christian and Metaphysical Worlds

You can love Jesus and still develop your gifts. You can trust your intuition and still belong to Christ. Bridging the Gap is for the Christian who feels gifted and ashamed, and the spiritual seeker who still wants Jesus in their lives. Rev. Scott Gabriel-pastor, mystic, living bridge-shows how both houses can share one life without a custody battle in your chest. You do not have to choose. If you grew up in church and then discovered you could see, hear, feel, or know things you were told to hide, this book is for you. If you left the building, kept the hunger, and still flinch when someone says the name of Jesus, this book is for you. If dinner with the people you love turns into a courtroom the moment spirituality comes up, this book is for you. The Third Edition does not ask you to pick a team. It walks the whole span: why "I'm spiritual, not religious" and "I'm Christian, I don't know why I'm here" are often the same ache in two dialects; how the Bible already holds tension instead of a gag order; the difference between gifts of the Spirit and gifts of the soul; healing hands, thin places, and the one question that keeps a gift from becoming a hook: does this come from God? It puts Christian tools and metaphysical tools on the same table without baptizing every object or burning every stone. It puts Jesus in both rooms. Then it teaches you how to talk to the people you love-and, harder, how to stop running a custody battle inside your own ribs. Scott writes as a lifelong Christian with a pastor's pedigree and as a gifted practitioner who has sat with seekers, the grieving, and the ones who were told their knowing was contraband. He has lived the split this book refuses to bless. Father and Mother both get time. Jesus gets a chair that is not seasonal. Ethics stay on the door. The tools of both houses get permission to be used. This is not a schedule for your busy life. It is a peace treaty. You can leave a building and not leave God. You can stay in a building and not hide what the Spirit put in you. You can test the spirits and refuse to quench them. The lobby will still have voices. The gap inside you can get a table. Come eat. You do not have to choose. You only have to sit down before the food gets cold.- Rev. Scott Gabriel Author of Spiritual Gifts and The Inheritance ConnectWithScott.com
