    E92 | Dreaming with God: Becoming Who You’re Meant to Be – Part 1

    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. God not only calls us beautiful (SoS 1:15), but He also invites us to walk in union with Him, partnering with Him in the joy of becoming who He has created us to be and offering what He has uniquely planted in our hearts. ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES:  Song of Songs 4:1 (NLT) – You are beautiful, my darling, beautiful beyond words. Your eyes are like doves … 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. John 15:5 (NLT) – Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. 1 Thessalonians 5:24 (NIV) – The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it. Matthew 22:39 (NLT) – … ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ….. RESOURCES Becoming Myself: Embracing God's Dream of You by Stasi Eldredge  ⁠https://amzn.to/4gYrsZy⁠ Quote: “Today you are you.

    E91 | Resting in the Heart of Jesus: Living from His Peace with Liz Wright

    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. Ephesians 4:23-24 (NLT) – Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God – truly righteous and holy. Philippians 4:19 (NLT) – And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. …..

    E89 | The Battle for Your Heart: Stepping into Freedom

    In today’s episode, Stasi Eldredge invites us into a powerful conversation about the freedom Christ has won for us – and the spiritual warfare that seeks to keep us from living in it. Through Scripture and personal stories, Stasi exposes the enemy’s schemes, which are designed to keep our hearts captive and separate us from experiencing the love of God. But take heart: through Christ, we have the authority to break the enemy’s lies and step into the fullness of the life God has won for us. You are chosen, you are loved, and you are made for freedom. ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES:  Galatians 5:1 (NLT) – So Christ has truly set us free.

Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 1 Peter 5:9 (NLT) – Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith.

    Merry Christmas!

    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. …..
