    In April 2024, the Wild at Heart women’s team will be hosting what is likely the last Captivating Retreat in the U.S. But God has more on the horizon, including the invitation for you to experience the four-day retreat through Captivating CORE. On today’s podcast, Stasi shares with her dear friends, anointed teachers and longtime followers of Christ, Lisa Beck and Cherie Snyder, some of their favorite parts of the retreat. Captivating is a timeless message and a sacred treasure hunt to come to know both Jesus more deeply and who we truly are in his love. God’s pursuit of our hearts is endless, and it is his desire that we know his freedom, healing, and love increasingly every day of our lives. Join us!

    Romancing the King
    Mar 20 2024

    On today’s podcast, Stasi shares the amazing depth of God’s love for each of us individually. As the great Romancer of our hearts, he uniquely pursues us as his beloved. Did you know that we can romance his heart as well? What does that look like? Friends, he loved us first, and we romance him as we love him back. Let’s unpack that a little together and sink more deeply into his extravagant love—and then, let’s romance his heart with our loving gaze. Stasi ends the podcast by leading us through an encounter with Jesus, a space to focus on resting in His embrace and experiencing His unfathomable love.

    VERSES:

    Ephesians 3:16-19 (NLT) — I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

    Psalms 139:17-18 (NLT) — How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!

    Quote: Timothy Keller: “The only person who dares wake up a king at 3:00 AM for a glass of water is a child. We have that kind of access.”


    Poem: Indwelt by A.S. Wilson

    Not merely in the words you say,

    Not only in your deeds confessed,

    But in the most unconscious way

    Is Christ expressed.


    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.


    And from your eyes He beckons me,

    And from your heart His love is shed,

    Til I lose sight of you and see

    The Christ instead.
