E94 | Fear, Distraction, and the Fight for Your Heart, with Emily Wilson Hussem
April 30, 2025
Today, Stasi is joined by Emily Wilson Hussem—author, speaker, YouTuber, wife, and mother—to discuss Emily’s new book, Sincerely, Stoneheart. Emily pulls back the curtain on the enemy’s relentless schemes to attack our hearts. Satan attempts to fill us with fear and discouragement to keep us from stepping into the fullness of who we truly are in Christ. We each hold a unique beauty that God placed within us, and when we root ourselves in God, we can step boldly into the life we are created for. ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES: Psalm 23:1 (NIV) – The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. Psalm 103:12 (NIV) – as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. Matthew 6:34 (NIV) – Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. 2 Corinthians 2:11 (NIV) – in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. 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. John 8:32 (NIV) – Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. …..

E821 | Hiding Our Hurts
April 28, 2025
We often endure our deepest hurts and pains in isolation, choosing to just suck it up and pretend all is well rather than risk transparency and asking for help. In this week's podcast, Allen brings to light an issue he's been struggling with in private, how God orchestrated a path to bring others into his suffering, and the process of pursuing healing in both the physical and spiritual realms. Show Notes: The prayers John referenced—the "Life" Prayer and the Prayer for Breaking Curses—are on the Wild at Heart website and app. Moving Mountains by John Eldredge is available wherever you buy books. _______________________________________________ There is more.

E93 | Dreaming with God: Awakening Desire – Part 2
April 16, 2025
In today’s episode—Part 2 of Dreaming with God—Stasi reminds us of the three core desires we as women share: the longing to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role, and to unveil beauty. These desires reflect God’s own heart. Desires are clues to the dreams God has planted in our hearts, and though we share core desires, there are many that are particular to us as well. Though wounds may dim them, Jesus can restore them. Jesus is inviting you to dream with him again and step into your unique, irreplaceable role in his story. Join Stasi as she shares the truth that we are seen, pursued, and free to embrace the desires of our hearts through dreaming with God again. ….. SHOW NOTES: ….. VERSES: Proverbs 4:23 (NIV) – Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Isaiah 61:1 (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, Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) – For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 1 Corinthians 12:12-26 (NIV) – (here, v12–14) Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many. Psalm 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. …..
