The Unexpected Life Feb 09, 2022

Show notes

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.

Psalm 103:19-21
The LORD has established His throne in heaven,
and His kingdom rules over all.

you servants who do His will.

Dreaming with God Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

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.

Books:

Becoming Myself by Stasi Eldredge
Happy Birthday to You!By Dr. Seuss: “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is you-er than you.”

Scripture:

2 Corinthians 3:18 — And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate[a] the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

Song of Songs 4:1 — You are beautiful, my darling, beautiful beyond words. Your eyes are like doves

(00:15:53) Take some time and allow your thoughts to dream with God. Sit with God and ask him to reveal and awaken your heart's desires. Here are some questions you can ask him to help you explore. It’s ok if it’s difficult to name the desire, but ask God to access to places where these desires are planted:

What do you feel makes you particularly you?
What do you like?
What do you daydream about?
If you could do anything, knowing it would go swimmingly well, what would it be?
What do you want to be true of yourself?
What do you want the impact of your life to be?
Ask God, "what do you want for me?"

Stasi invites Dr. Una, a pediatrician, entrepreneur, podcaster, and amazing woman of God, into the studio to talk about what it looks like to step into our calling from where we are now—not waiting until we feel ready.

Your life matters.

Christ is Enough Oct 20, 2021

Show notes

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.

Elevating the Ordinary Oct 06, 2021

Show notes

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. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Song: Artist by Laura Hackett Park Books: The Hidden Art of Homemaking by Edith Schaeffer Every Moment Holy by Douglas Kaine McKelvey and Ned Bustard
