In today’s episode of Captivated, Stasi shares from a Women at the Well teaching about cultivating a deep relationship with God through consistent prayer and worship, so that in moments of need, our faith is strengthened by this connection with him. By aligning our thoughts with Christ and surrendering to his process, he transforms us from the inside out into Christ's likeness. Stasi encourages us to lay our lives before God daily, arranging our days so we experience deep contentment, joy, and confidence in his faithful love. ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES: 2 Corinthians 3:18 (NLT) — So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord – who is the Spirit – makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. Genesis 1:28 (NIV) — God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” Proverbs 23:7 (KJV) — For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. Matthew 17:1-7 (NLT) — (here, verses 1–3) After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. Romans 12:1-2 (NIV) — 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. 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. Romans 12:1-2 (The Message) — …Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. Ephesians 4:23 (NIV) — Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Ephesians 4:24 (NIV) — Put on your new nature, created to be like God – truly righteous and holy. Ephesians 5:1 (NIV) — Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Ephesians 5:15 (NIV) — So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Ezekiel 37: Valley of the Dry Bones story …..

| 24 Jul 2024 | Psalm 103 | 00:27:51 | |
Today, Stasi invites us to journey with her as she unpacks one of her favorite psalms, Psalm 103, which reminds us of all the ways God has moved in our lives and continues to do so. This beautiful psalm instructs our souls to praise the Lord by reminding us of the splendor, majesty, and goodness of God. Turning our hearts' attention to our holy God naturally evokes worship from our inmost being. Stasi concludes with a guided time together, focusing on quieting our souls to praise God for the abundant blessings and love he showers upon us. ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES: Psalm 103 — In its entirety Exodus 3:14 (NLT) — God replied to Moses, “I am who I am. Say this to the people of Israel: I am has sent me to you.” Proverbs 11:30 (NLT) — The seeds of good deeds become a tree of life; a wise person wins friends. Psalm 16:9-10 (NLT) — No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice. My body rests in safety. For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your holy one to rot in the grave. Ezekiel 18:4 (ASV) — Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. Acts 2:41 (NLT) — Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all. Revelation 18:13 (ASV) — and cinnamon, and spice, and incense, and ointment, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep; and merchandise of horses and chariots and slaves; and souls of men. Jeremiah 38:16 (NIV) — But King Zedekiah swore this oath secretly to Jeremiah: “As surely as the Lord lives, who has given us breath, I will neither kill you nor hand you over to those who want to kill you.” 2 Peter 2:14 (ASV) — having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; enticing unstedfast souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of cursing; James 1:21 (NLT) — So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls. Leviticus 17:11 (NLT) — for the life of the body is in its blood. I have given you the blood on the altar to purify you, making you right with the Lord. It is the blood, given in exchange for a life, that makes purification possible. 1 Peter 1:22 (NLT) — You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart. 1 Peter 2:25 (NLT) — Once you were like sheep who wandered away. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls. Matthew 11:29 (NLT) — Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Acts 13:35–37 (NLT) — Another psalm explains it more fully: ‘You will not allow your Holy One to rot in the grave.’ This is not a reference to David, for after David had done the will of God in his own generation, he died and was buried with his ancestors, and his body decayed. No, it was a reference to someone else—someone whom God raised and whose body did not decay. Hebrews 4:12 (NLT) — For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. John 14:1 (NLT) — Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. 1 Corinthians 2:16 (NLT) — For, “Who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?” But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ. Colossians 3:2 (NLT) — Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. Philippians 4:8 (NLT) — And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Romans 8:11 (NLT) — The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. Leviticus 26:11-12 (KJV) — And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people. Proverbs 9:10 (NLT) — Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom. 1 John 4:18 (NLT) — Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. ….. RESOURCES: The Treasury of David – Psalm 103 by Charles H.

| 29 May 2024 | Safe All Along with Katie Davis Majors | 00:41:35 | |
Join Stasi today in a conversation with author Katie Davis Majors as they discuss Katie's latest book, 'Safe All Along', and explore the promises of God, the essence of trust, and living out of a place of peace. Katie shares her journey with God from a young age to her years living in Uganda, where she adopted thirteen girls. Now mother to her fifteen favorite people, she also founded Amazima, a ministry fueled by compassion, mercy, and a desire to set others free through the truth of God’s word. You'll be encouraged and inspired by Katie's reflections on Jesus’ character and the hope of knowing we are always safe in God's unwavering love. ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES: Colossians 1:3–14 (NIV) — We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people—the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel that has come to you. In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace. You learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf, and who also told us of your love in the Spirit. For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. John 8:32 (NLT) — And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. The Story of Manna can be found in Exodus 16 – here, Exodus 16:17 (NLT) — …Each family had just what it needed. …..

| 25 Dec 2024 | Merry Christmas! | 00:17:54 | |
Oh, friends, Merry Christmas! On this day of celebration, Stasi simply wants to invite you to take a few moments to reflect on the beauty and wonder of the Christmas story: the story of the invasion of the Kingdom! The coming of our Savior as a babe in Bethlehem – Emmanuel, God with us – fills us with gratitude, joy, awe, and hope as we look forward to Him coming again! As we celebrate the birth of Jesus today, let’s remember and rejoice, together! ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES: Luke 2:1–20 (NIV) — The Christmas Story, the birth of Jesus Revelation 12:1–6 — The Woman and the Dragon Philippians 2:6–7 — Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. John 1:14 — The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. Colossians 1:15–20 — The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. …..

Welcome to the premier episode of Captivated with Stasi Eldredge. Our time together is an invitation to pursue the heart of Jesus and awaken the desire to know him more—because the more we know him, the more we love him. The more we love him, the more he fills us and transforms our lives. | |||
| 20 Oct 2021 | Christ is Enough | 00:22:12 | |
Something is revealed in our story when we feel like we don’t have enough—enough provision, enough safety, enough love. Through verses and stories, Stasi speaks to this question: What does it mean to be satisfied by God and to trust him as our provider for the things that matter most? In Christ, we have enough, and—because Christ dwells in us—we are enough. SHOW NOTES: (Verses) Psalm 131:2 (NIV): But I have calmed and quieted myself, I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content. Genesis 17:1 (NIV): When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless. Psalm 103:5 (NIV): who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalm 23:1 (NIV): The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. Psalm 23:5 (NIV): You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. | |||

| 04 Oct 2023 | Being Forged | 00:40:08 | |
Stasi welcomes Karen Christakis and Stacey Burton of the Wild at Heart team into the studio for a candid conversation that quickly leads to how intentionally God is moving on our behalf—even when we aren’t able to see it. What matters most to Jesus is always our hearts, even more than rescuing us from the hard things we plead with him to change. As you listen to this podcast, you will hear the importance of stepping back to honor our stories in order to recognize the ways God is pursuing us and forging us into His very image of love. ….. VERSES: Romans 5:3-5 (MSG) — There’s more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we’re hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we’re never left feeling shortchanged. Isaiah 43:2 (NLV) — When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you pass through the rivers, they will not flow over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned. The fire will not destroy you. …..

| 01 May 2024 | Fairy Tales and Other Realities | 00:33:18 | |
“Once upon a time in a faraway land…” is the language of fairy tales, and through them, a longing in the heart can well up. In this episode, Stasi shares that we identify with these stories because they speak to both our story and our identity—our longing to be pursued, fought for, and loved, and the truth that we are more than meets the eye. God’s promise is the promise of restoration, and in him, we can both discover and be restored to who we are truly meant to be. There is transformative power in understanding one's true self in the heart of God, allowing his voice to be the ultimate authority in defining our identity. ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES: Luke 19:10 (NLT) — For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost. Matthew 3:16-17 (NLT) — After his baptism, as Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and settling on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy.” Isaiah 61:1-3 (NIV) — The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. John 10:10 (NIV) — The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. Ezekiel 37:1-10 (NLT) — The Valley of Dry Bones Luke 1:34-37 (NKJV) — Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?” And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. For with God nothing will be impossible.” Matthew 19:25-26 (NLT) — The disciples were astounded. “Then who in the world can be saved?” they asked. Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” Ecclesiastes 9:4 (NLT) — Anyone who is among the living has hope… Isaiah 62:2-4 (NIV) — …you will be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will bestow. You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord’s hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God. No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the Lord will take delight in you, and your land will be married. Isaiah 62:12 — (NIV) They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you will be called Sought After, Song of Song 7:10 (NIV) — I belong to my beloved, and his desire is for me. …..

| 11 Dec 2024 | From Duty to Desire: Walking in Love with God | 00:31:59 | |
In today’s episode, Stasi invites us to reimagine “duty” through the heart of faithfulness and loving Jesus as a response to His extravagant love. Whether you're feeling weary or longing for deeper connection, Stasi shares how life with God isn’t about lifeless obligation, but passion and intimacy. Though sometimes duty and obedience are the only driving forces we possess, in time duty will shift to desire as we encounter Jesus. Stasi also guides us through a prayer to rest in the Presence of Jesus and to meet with Him today. Friends, we pray that today’s podcast will help you find hope, rest, and restoration as you draw near to the One who first loved us. ….. SHOW NOTES: …..

Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you!

| 04 May 2022 | You Belong | 00:26:10 | |
We all have a core need to belong. As infants, we seek this secure belonging through our parents and caregivers, primarily from our mothers, and this attachment frames our sense of belonging throughout our lives. Join Stasi as she shares this hopeful message on what it means to belong to God, who is our El Shaddi—the One who provides all that we need, who cares for us, and who lovingly says to us, Daughter, you are mine, and you belong. God is our essential attachment, and our soul coming home. Show Notes: Verses:

In order to make room for the much-needed refreshment and restoration that we all have, Stasi encourages us to ask God for His unique prescription for us. Where is God inviting you into more beauty? Intimacy? Adventure? What does your heart need?

| 23 Mar 2022 | What is Right with Us | 00:40:47 | |
Cherie Snyder joins Stasi in this week's podcast for an honest conversation, filled with mercy and kindness, on anxiety. Anxiety is rooted in the debilitating fear that we are unworthy, unloved, and imperfect. Our human condition has made this feel unsafe, and so we often turn to false lovers to be soothed. But take heart: these feelings are not what is wrong with us, but what is right. Jesus has not abandoned us here. Through his mercy we can know we are seen by God and secure in his love. Show Notes: Philippians 4:6 (NIV) — Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Books: | |||
| 09 Feb 2022 | The Unexpected Life | 00:38:05 | |
In today’s podcast, Stasi sits down with pastor and author Melanie Boudreau to talk about the unexpected life. Naturally, we pray and work towards the life that we hope for, but how do we respond when God gives us something other than what we planned for? It's hard to surrender our self-life and step out of our comfort zone, but with our identity deeply rooted in Christ, there is no limit to what he can do with us and through us—even when life is challenging. Show Notes: Psalm 103:19-21 | |||
| 14 Dec 2022 | Holiday Perfection | 00:30:31 | |

When we trust in him, the pressure is off. | |||
| 04 Sep 2024 | Radical Discipleship: Prayer and Scripture | 00:39:07 | |
Today’s episode is the first of a three-part series on Radical Discipleship, in which Stasi shares practices of grace that root us in the love of God. In Part One, Stasi invites us to align with God through prayer and marinating our hearts in the Scriptures. She explores Wild at Heart’s Daily Prayer as an example of a guided prayer to start each day. Aligning with God through prayer is both a sacred privilege and a necessary honor. The beauty of it lies in the fact that it's a two-way conversation—God deeply desires to hear from us, and He also longs for us to hear from Him. As we quiet ourselves in His presence, we are able to receive more of Him and take hold of everything He has accomplished for us. Friends, these daily practices aren’t about obligation; they’re about rooting ourselves deeply in the Truth so that we are able to follow hard, stand strong, and partner with Him in bringing His Kingdom. ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES: Proverbs 3:5 (NLT) — Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.

Song of Song 8:5 (NLT) — Who is this sweeping in from the desert, leaning on her lover? Romans 8:34 (NIV) — Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 1 John 2:1 (NLT) — My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous.

The laws of the Lord are true; each one is fair. (10) They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. (11) They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them.

Romans 15:13 (NLT) — I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:4 (NIV) — For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope. 1 Corinthians 15:58 (NIV) — Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 (NIV) — Therefore we do not lose heart.

| 06 Mar 2024 | The Gift of Limitations with Sara Hagerty | 00:38:54 | |
Stasi welcomes back writer, speaker, wife, and mother Sara Hagerty to discuss her new book, The Gift of Limitations. Sara writes, “What if your greatest weaknesses, the areas of your life you resent the most…are your doorway to rich intimacy with God? What if your limitations were, in fact, your greatest gift?” With vulnerability and wisdom, Sara encourages us to name the limitations we face, so we can both grieve them and surrender them to God.

How do we perceive our bodies? Treat them? What do we say when we look in the mirror? The way we feel about our bodies rests deep in our stories. But what does God think about them?

| 21 Feb 2024 | Risk the Real with Allen Arnold | 00:43:13 | |
In today’s episode, Stasi invites Allen Arnold, author, speaker, and member of the Wild at Heart team, into the studio for an insightful conversation on his new book Risk the Real. Allen encourages listeners to step away from the artificial distractions of our modern world as well as the counterfeit narratives being offered, and instead embrace the story God is telling, the True Story and the one He created us to live authentically with Him in. The invitation is to be entwined with Jesus, living a life rooted in the real and characterized by love, creativity, strength, intimacy, and joy. ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES: Isaiah 51:1-3 (NIV) — “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were hewn; look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was only one man, and I blessed him and made him many. The Lord will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing. Colossians 1:15-17 (NLT) — Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see — such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. John 1:1-4 (NLT) — In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. …..

| 24 Jan 2024 | The Life You Long For, with Christy Nockels | 00:40:26 | |
Join Stasi in a heartfelt conversation with singer-songwriter Christy Nockels. Christy shares her journey to discover God's role in her creativity while realizing that our gifts can sometimes hinder our true desires. It was when she found God in the ordinary moments that she realized that the only thing God wanted from her was that she be his and find her identity in that. Christy has made worship her way of life, and as she has surrendered to God, she has uncovered his tender path to his heart. ….. SHOW NOTES: …..
Psalm 37:5 (NLT) — Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. Psalm 37:4-6? (NLT) — Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun. Luke 10:38-42 (NLT) Mary & Martha Story — As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught. But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.” But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.” 1 Corinthians 13:12 (NIV) — For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. John 16:33 (NLT) — I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

The couple would form the Christian music duo, Watermark, touring nationwide and recording five acclaimed albums, including seven number one radio singles from 1998 to 2005, before laying down their Watermark journey for the sake of their family. Christy and Nathan were also among those invited by Louie and Shelley Giglio to be a part of the very first Passion Conference in Austin, TX, in 1997, which flourished into a fruitful twenty years of the couple songwriting and leading for the Passion Movement.

| 25 Jan 2023 | The Power of Testimony Part Two | Elaine Supple | 00:38:53 | |
As this series continues, Stasi’s friend Elaine Supple shares her heart's journey. Because of her story, Elaine struggled with a sense of not belonging for many years. In today’s podcast, she shares ways God has invited her into his comforting love – finding his steadfast heart to be her true Home. Friends, God is calling each one of us deeper into His heart to find the love we long for, the security we are meant to know, and the ability to love ourselves and others well. SHOW NOTES: Verses: Ephesians 3:16-19 (NIV) — I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Isaiah 62:4 (NLT) — Never again will you be called “The Forsaken City” or “The Desolate Land.” Your new name will be “The City of God’s Delight” and “The Bride of God,” for the Lord delights in you and will claim you as his bride.

| 07 Aug 2024 | The Loudest Roar with Judy Dunagan | 00:36:55 | |
Stasi is thrilled to welcome author, teacher, and speaker Judy Dunagan to discuss her book, The Loudest Roar. Judy shares her personal journey of faith, recalling how her loving upbringing in a Christian home influenced her to grow to know Jesus as her best friend from a young age. Judy teaches believers to stand firm against spiritual warfare through Scripture and prayer by taking ownership of their authority in Christ. She offers powerful insights and practical ways to deepen one’s prayer life, including praying Scripture and engaging in lamentation as an act of worship. Friends, Jesus’ unshakable victory is our strength, and it is in trusting his triumph that we find our refuge. The enemy roars, but our fierce King's roar is louder! He is mighty, and we are mighty and powerful in him. ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES: Revelation 12:9 (NLT) — This great dragon—the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world—was thrown down to the earth with all his angels. 1 Peter 3:22 (NIV) — who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him. Ephesians 2:6 (NIV) — And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, Romans 8:22 (NLT) — For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 1 Peter 5:8 (NLT) — Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Ephesians 6:10-18 (NIV) — Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Psalm 91:4 (NIV) — He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. John 17 — In its entirety; Jesus Prays Hebrews 4:16 (NLT) — So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. …..

| 08 Feb 2023 | The Power of Testimony Part Three | Cherie Snyder | 00:36:42 | |
In this final part of our series on the Power of Testimony, Cherie Snyder sits down with Stasi to share the journey of her faith. For many years, Cherie wrestled with a deep feeling that something was inherently wrong with her, that it was up to her to earn her worth, and that God's love was one of obligation. Yet just as our God pursues each one of us uniquely and personally, Cherie tells how He wooed her in order to reveal His true heart and capture hers for Himself. 2 Corinthians 4:4 (NIV) — The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. Philippians 2:5-11 (NIV) — In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:1-2 (NIV) — Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. …..

Stasi welcomes friend, teacher, singer-songwriter, and lover of God Michelle Patterson to share her powerful story of unwavering and resilient faith amid chronic pain and illness. Michelle has found deep strength in her relationship with Jesus, and she desires to flip the script: Choosing life in the midst of chronic suffering is a stunning strength, not a weakness. She reveals how anguish and adoration can coexist; true worship arises from our deepest, most honest places. We'll hear Michelle's heart and empathy through a song she wrote to honor those living with chronic pain—a testament to God's sustaining love even in our darkest moments. ….. SHOW NOTES: …..

| 01 Jun 2022 | A Conversation with John Eldredge | 00:31:59 | |
Psalm 73 says that God is the strength of our hearts. But how do we draw from that strength to replenish our tired souls? John Eldredge joins Stasi on her podcast today to share the good news that God's provision for these challenging days is available, and it is absolutely free. John lets us in on what compelled him to write his new book, Resilient: Restoring Your Weary Soul in These Turbulent Times, and offer its incredible heart-strengthening tools. We all need a deeper life with God; we all need to tap into the resources of his Kingdom to receive significant replenishment for the days ahead. John shows us how. SHOW NOTES: Pause App Verses: Psalm 73:26 (NIV) — My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. John 7:37-38 (NIV) — On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” Ezekiel 7:1-12 (NIV) — …, so where the river flows everything will live. Revelation 21&22 (NIV) — (Rev 22:1) Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb John 4:4-42 (NIV) — The Woman of Samaria/Woman at the well: (v. 14) “...but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never be thirsty; but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up to eternal life.” John 14 (NIV) — entire chapter; Jesus Prepares His Disciples Nehemiah 8:10 (NIV) — …, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. Luke 21:32 (NIV) — “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. | |||
| 01 Nov 2023 | Redemptively Known with Lisa Harper | 00:31:51 | |
Stasi is delighted to have Lisa Harper—speaker, author, scholar, and passionate follower of Jesus—on today’s podcast. With humor and honesty, Lisa shares her journey with Christ and the gracious unfolding of learning to be delighted in by God. God is a “with” God; he loves us so much that he chooses to be close to us no matter where we find ourselves and invites us to lean into him with confidence that we will be held and adored by the King of kings. We are divinely wired to be in intimate relationship with the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The enemy has tried to separate us from that union from the beginning, but God’s story is all about bringing us back to his heart through the redemption that has already been woven in. ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES: Psalm 34:4-5 (NIV) — I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. Song of Song 4:9 (NIV) — You have captured my heart, my treasure, my bride. You hold it hostage with one glance of your eyes, with a single jewel of your necklace. Hosea 2:9 (NIV) — “But now I will take back the ripened grain and new wine I generously provided each harvest season. I will take away the wool and linen clothing I gave her to cover her nakedness.

Is it a beatific smile, A holy light upon your brow; Oh no, I felt His Presence while You laughed just now. For me ‘twas not the truth you taught To you so clear, to me still dim But when you came to me you brought A sense of Him.

By remembering what is true, we hold onto the Promise that everlasting joy is our inheritance. As we step into Easter, Stasi reminds us that even in the midst of overwhelming heartbreak, Jesus is victorious, and in that, our hope rests.

He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.

Stasi is happy to welcome back Liz Wright — best-selling author, international speaker, and CEO and Founder of the International Mentoring Community — whose life is a beautiful testimony of profound transformation because of the love of Christ. Today’s conversation is a divine invitation. Jesus is calling us into rest — not just as a moment of pause, but as a way of continually living in Him. Together, they unpack the power of trusting Jesus and the freedom that comes when we surrender and believe. May your heart be drawn closer to Him as you receive the rest He so freely gives! ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES: Psalm 62:1 (NIV) – Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Jeremiah 6:16 (NIV) – This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ Hebrews 4:1-3 (NLT) – God’s promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it. For this good news – that God has prepared this rest – has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn’t share the faith of those who listened to God. For only we who believe can enter his rest. As for the others, God said, “In my anger I took an oath: ‘They will never enter my place of rest,’” even though this rest has been ready since he made the world. Matthew 11:28 (NLT) – Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 2 Corinthians 3:17 (NLT) – For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

Stasi shares stories from her own family traditions, showing us that Advent means so much more than a countdown to Christmas. It is a time to reflect on faith, hope, joy, and peace.

During this Advent season, I will keep alert and awake, listening for your word and keeping to your precepts. My hope is in you.” Karl Barth quote: “Unfulfilled and fulfilled promise are related to each other, as are dawn and sunrise…then it is precisely in the light of the coming of Christ that faith has become Advent faith, the expectation of future revelation. But faith knows for whom and for what it is waiting. It is fulfilled faith because it lays hold on the fulfilled promise.” Renee Swope from Proverbs 31 Ministries Poem: The Manger of My Heart https://reneeswope.com/christmas-prayer/ …..

| 19 Oct 2022 | Our Identity | 00:24:51 | |
Join Stasi as she dives deeper into the beautiful truths of who we are in Christ and what our magnificent God has accomplished for us! Growing in our practice of resting in these truths helps us to guard against Identity Theft — the enemy’s #1 tool to keep us from living in the love and power of God. SHOW NOTES: Verses: 1 John 1:3 (NIV) — See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Revelation 4:1 (NIV) — After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”, Colossians 2:13-25 (NIV) — When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. … John 19:30 (NIV) — When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. Colossians 1:15-22 (NIV) — The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— Colossians 3:1-3 (NIV) — Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Ephesians 1:20-23 (NIV) — he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. Luke 1:26-33 (NIV) — …He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.” Luke 22:69 (NIV) — But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God. Matthew 26:64 (NIV) — “You have said so,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” Hebrews 8:1 (NIV) — Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 1 Peter 3:22 (NIV) — who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him. Hebrews 10:12 (NIV) — But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, Ephesians 2:6-7 (NIV) — And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, … Hebrews 12:2 (NIV) — fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Philippians 3:20-21 (NIV) — But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. Colossians 2:2 (NIV) — My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, Colossians 1:25-27 (NIV) — I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness — the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. kalah Original Word: כָּלָה Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: kalah Phonetic Spelling: (kaw-law') Definition: to be complete, at an end, finished, accomplished, or spent | |||

Jamie Goudie joins Stasi in the studio for a conversation about inviting our beautiful God into the ordinary ins and outs of our days. Beauty matters to God, and as we practice opening our hearts to him amidst the messy and the mundane, we quickly discover that God cares about the details of our humanity and is available to us in every moment of our lives. SHOW NOTES: Scripture: Psalms 27:4 (NIV): One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple. Galatians 2:20 (NIV): I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.

| 10 Jul 2024 | Love As Refuge with John Eldredge | 00:41:39 | |
Why is seeking refuge in God's love essential during these turbulent times? Today, Stasi invites her beloved husband, John, to explore just that. They delve into his upcoming book, which will be released in February 2025, to talk about living in the safety of the shelter of God's love. They also highlight the vital practice of offering radical forgiveness and avoiding bitterness. Friends, our God’s divine love serves as a sanctuary and is the only safe place for our hearts. We flourish under the canopy of his love. In today’s podcast, we'll explore how to cultivate this in our daily lives and relationships by practicing tangible ways to stay tucked in. ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES: 1 John 4:7–8; 15–17 (NLT) — Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. … All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. Psalm 91:1–2 (NLT) — Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. Philippians 1:9 (NLT) — I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. Deuteronomy 4:24 (NLT) — The Lord your God is a devouring fire; he is a jealous God. Hebrews 12:25–29 (NLT) — Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking. For if the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, we will certainly not escape if we reject the One who speaks to us from heaven! When God spoke from Mount Sinai his voice shook the earth, but now he makes another promise: “Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also.” This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things will remain. Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. For our God is a devouring fire. …..

In this week’s podcast, Stasi and her good friend Sue Eitemiller enjoy a conversation about what it looks like to invite God into all the changing seasons of our lives. Sue describes the transition from believing in God out of duty and living out of her own strength to discovering a faithful friend in Jesus and choosing to trust him with her desire for more. Sue can see now how God has used all of the unknowns of her past to become the testimony of her love affair with Jesus. In this shifting season, she has learned that it is important to honor both what is over and what is next, and to find God in the here and now. ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES: Isaiah 62:3-5 (NIV) — You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord’s hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God. No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the Lord will take delight in you, and your land will be married. As a young man marries a young woman, so will your Builder marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you. …..

John 10:38 (NIV) — But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father. John 14:20 (NIV) — On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. John 5:20 (NIV) — For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. John 15:15 (NIV) — I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. John 17:23 (NIV) — I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity.

She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself?

In the final episode of our Radical Discipleship series, we explore the transformative practice of encountering and embodying the Trinity.

| 09 Aug 2023 | Unanswered Prayers | 00:36:56 | |
Unanswered prayer or the perceived silence of God in the midst of suffering is one of the most difficult things to endure, yet it is something that every believer has experienced. There is a way forward in these hard times. Join Stasi today as she talks about this subject head-on and leads us to the truth that though we are not promised a life free from sorrow, we are promised that our God will be with us in it…with us, in fact, in every moment of our lives. ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES: 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NIV) — Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Romans 8:38-39 (NIV) — For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Matthew 26:39 (NIV) — Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Colossians 1:24 (NIV) — Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. Hebrews 13:5 (NIV) — Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:8 (NIV) — The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” …..

Join Stasi today as she talks with Cheryl Wright, a woman known for her intimacy with Jesus. SHOW NOTES: Cheryl Wright’s book: His Warrior Princess: A Girlfriend's Guide to Being Lit from Within Scripture: Revelation 3:20 (the Passion Translation): “Behold, I’m standing at the door, knocking. If your heart is open to hear my voice and you open the door within, I will come in to you and feast with you, and you will feast with me.” Isaiah 44:5 (NLT): “Some will proudly claim, ‘I belong to the Lord.’ Others will say, ‘I am a descendant of Jacob.’ Some will write the Lord’s name on their hands and will take the name of Israel as their own.” John 17:22-23 (NLT): “I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me.” Quote from J.I. Packer, Knowing God pg 41-42: “What matters supremely, therefore, is not, in the last analysis, the fact that I know God, but the larger fact which underlies it—the fact that he knows me. I am graven on the palms of his hands [Isa. 49:16]. I am never out of his mind.” | |||
| 14 Jun 2023 | Sinking Into Grace | 00:25:46 | |
Friends, have you ever felt distant and disconnected from God? Of course, you have. You are not alone in that. But what then? In today’s podcast, Stasi reminds us of the good news: while our feelings may fluctuate, God remains constant and unchanging. Even when we feel like God is hiding from us, we can know that He will never turn His face away. It is in the hard seasons that we come to know God’s grace even more deeply, and can come to rest in the truth that though our experiences may change, our place in the heart of our King never does. ….. VERSES: Ephesians 3:16-19 (NIV) — I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. …..

We are meant to live from a place of rest. Today, Stasi talks about the book Sacred Rest with the author Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith. Dr. Saundra shares practical steps to find rest amongst the constant demands of life, saying “Staying busy is easy. Staying well rested, now there is the challenge.” She unpacks the 7 types of rest we need — not with another list that we have to master, but with the invitation to know and receive the goodness of God in ever deeper ways. When we learn to live from a posture of rest in the presence of God, we are able to tap into the fruit of being the version of ourselves God meant us to be, and having our lives infused with him. …..

What is the world’s definition of beauty? How often have we squeezed, strived, and starved ourselves in order to meet its impossible standards, only to feel we’re never enough? Today’s podcast is Part 1 of a two-part series on Dreaming with God, where Stasi shares God's invitation to see ourselves through His eyes—to trade striving for rest, shame for grace, and the enemy’s lies for God’s Truth.

Stasi welcomes Nancy Carmichael back for an engaging conversation on the power of Christ in us. Through the pressures of life and outward circumstances, Nancy noticed herself shrinking back and losing focus on God’s deeper truths. God began to strip things away, bringing Nancy to a very vulnerable place, and it was there that she saw Christ in her. Friends, Christ dwells in us and remains with us. And we desperately need his life to infuse ours, to pour out of us, so that we can live the lives we were meant to live. Hiding is a form of self-protection, and Jesus is asking each of us to Come Out. ….. VERSES: Galatians 2:20 (NIV) — I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. … John 6:68 (NIV) — Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go?

God dreams big, and he invites us to dream big with him—the desires in our hearts unique to each of us have been planted by him. Dreaming with God allows us to access these places in our hearts where desire dwells and to hear his voice. It awakens hope and possibility and allows us to see ourselves as he sees us. After all, nothing is too big for God, including our deepest desires. Show Notes: Books:

| 20 Sep 2023 | Surrender | 00:34:47 | |
"Surrender," in Hebrew, means "to align or arrange oneself under the command of a divine viewpoint." You literally turn away from the offerings of the world, the opinions of others, and your own strategies for achieving life and instead choose to stand under God’s divine viewpoint. When we cling to other things, believing they will satisfy our souls, we put something between us and God—actually, we put something in front of Him. They may be good things, but when they become highest in our hearts, we get into trouble; we’ve stepped away from our first love, maybe without even noticing. In today’s podcast, Stasi shares that the surrendered life is a doorway into a deeper life with God, then closes with a beautiful and powerful encounter with Jesus through which we experience the fruit of surrender: resting in our God’s unconditional love. ….. VERSES: Isaiah 40:11 (NIV) — He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young. Mark 6:34 (NIV) — When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things. Ezekiel 34:31 (NIV) — You are my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Sovereign Lord.’” Revelation 7:17 (NIV) — For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’” Hebrews 13:5 (NIV) — Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Psalm 23:1-3 (NIV) — The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Matthew 11:28 (NIV) — Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Hebrews 13:20-21 (NIV) — Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. ….. Hymn: I Surrender All ….. | |||

| 21 Sep 2022 | Owning Your Awkward | 00:35:03 | |
It’s helpful to know we are not alone in not fitting in. Today’s guest is Nancy Carmichael, creator of IsleofMisfits.com. She loves to encourage others in their “weird,” and today she shares her three core values: owning your awkward, loving your fellow misfits, and seeking beauty and truth. Believing that God doesn’t just love us but actually likes the way he made us can help us own who we are and step into the glory and purpose he intended. SHOW NOTES: Verses: John 6:67-68 (NIV) — “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Luke 8:26-39 (NIV) — Story of Legion being set free — (verse 36-37) Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured. Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left. Galatians 5:1 (NIV) — It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. … John Keats Quote: “Beauty is truth — truth beauty — that is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know.” NANCY CARMICHAEL Website: https://isleofmisfits.com/ Podcast: https://isleofmisfits.com/podcasts/ Blog: https://isleofmisfits.com/blog/ Nancy Carmichael Bio: Nancy Carmichael is the Proprietor and Chief Misfit of the IsleofMisfits.com, a blogging and podcasting Oasis for self-proclaimed square pegs, far and wide. Through it, she hopes to build a community of people who own their awkward, love their fellow misfit and embrace beauty and truth in the weirdness of life. Aside from this, one of her main claims to fame is being merely 1 degree separated from Kevin Bacon, thanks to a friend who once played a stand-in for his leading lady in the 80’s classic “She’s Having a Baby”. As if it could get any better, Nancy is married to a man so good it took EHarmony to help her find him, and a daughter she will obnoxiously brag about if given even half a chance. She has spent her life communicating good news wherever in the world the door opens, through writing, singing, speaking, coaching, counseling and advocating for those whom society often overlooks. | |||

Endings are hard. They mark the close of a season, but they also mark a beginning. In this new podcast, Stasi and Stacey Burton talk together about the significance of endings in our lives, and the importance of grieving so that we can fully step into the new. To be present and merciful to our hearts in the ache of a shift, and not run from it, we can find Christ and rest in his promise that no ending is forever.
