    Surrender

    Surrender

    "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.

    Sacred Rest with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith

    Sacred Rest with Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith

    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.

    Healing Through Story with Becky Allender

    Healing Through Story with Becky Allender

    Stasi welcomes her dear friend Becky Allender on today’s podcast to discuss story work and the healing that can come through it. Story work is a way of honoring our life’s story and the ways it has shaped us and engaging the places we need care, compassion, and mercy. If this feels new to you, Becky also offers a simple place to start. Friends, each of us desires to be seen and known, and giving a voice to our story is a beautiful level of self-care that expands our hearts for Jesus to come and compassionately give us more freedom through healing.

    Unanswered Prayers

    Unanswered Prayers

    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.

    …..

    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.”

    Uniquely Loved

    Uniquely Loved

    In this episode, Stasi and guest Lisa Bevere – author and co-founder of Messenger International – share about the transformative power of Jesus' love. The conversation explores how we are each uniquely loved and reframes what it means to live a surrendered life. When we step into our identity as the daughters and sons of God, we are able to embrace the truth that who we are to God matters more than what we do for Him.

    Along the Journey

    Along the Journey

    Join Stasi for this delightful conversation with her friend Yolanda Weinberger. Yolanda is a wise and passionate woman who loves Jesus deeply, and it is an honor to listen as she shares her story. Yolanda tells of how she has fallen more in love with Jesus through her daily rhythms, her parenting of adult children, and as she battled cancer. In all of it, Jesus has pursued her with his faithful love in a way she can recognize – in the language of her heart. God desires for each of us to draw closer to him, and we hope this conversation will inspire you to recognize his personal gifts to you as well as come to know his perfect peace in all of your circumstances.
