The Rest of Our Salvation - Part 2
This series concludes with John exposing a second category that can hinder intimacy with God: the unhealed, broken places in our lives.
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.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Psalm 100:3 (NIV) — Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.Isaiah 40:11 (NIV) — He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.Mark 6:34 (NIV) — When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.Ezekiel 34:31 (NIV) — You are my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”Revelation 7:17 (NIV) — For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”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.”Psalm 23:1-3 (NIV) — The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.Matthew 11:28 (NIV) — Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.Hebrews 13:20-21 (NIV) — Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.…..OTHER RESOURCES:Pause App: One Minute Pause and 30 Days to Resilient https://www.pauseapp.com/Hymn: I Surrender All…..Don’t Miss Out on the Next Episode – Subscribe for FreeSubscribe using your favorite podcast app:Spotify Podcasts – https://spoti.fi/42SsOipApple Podcasts – https://apple.co/42E0oZ1 Google Podcasts – http://wahe.art/3M81kxLAmazon Music & Audible – https://amzn.to/3M9u6hJ

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. …..SHOW NOTES:…..Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith BIO:We are meant to live from a place of rest.

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.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Psalm 139:17-18 (NLV) — Your thoughts are of great worth to me, O God. How many there are! If I could number them, there would be more than the sand. When I awake, I am still with You.…..Becky Allender BIO:Becky Allender lives in the Pacific Northwest and is the co-founder of The Allender Center at The Seattle School of Psychology and Theology.

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.…..SHOW NOTES:…..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.”…..OTHER RESOURCES:Tyler Staton Praying Like Monks, Living like Fools https://amzn.to/3DLqdfdPete Greig God on Mute: Engaging the Silence of Unanswered Prayer https://amzn.to/3Qu4UWUC.S.

Uniquely Loved
