Today’s episode is a special guided encounter, where Stasi gently leads us beyond learning about Jesus and into experiencing His presence within us. Through prayer, breath, Scripture, and sacred imagination, we are invited to settle our souls, release our burdens, and meet with the living Christ in the deep places of our hearts. We encourage you to set aside a quiet moment for this encounter, come expectant, and let Jesus draw you into His love.

Intimacy with Jesus isn’t reserved for the spiritually polished—it’s an open invitation, already within reach, and woven into our ordinary moments. In today’s podcast, Stasi and Amber Sales—of the Wild at Heart team—reflect on what it means to cultivate intimacy with Jesus over time: trusting Him with our loneliness, our shame, and our longing to be truly known. He is already nearer than our breath, already delighting over us, and as we draw near to him, he draws near to us.

What might God do if we gave him our attention and our yes, for a single day? In the midst of our full lives, it is often easier to come away for one day than the full 4-day Captivating Retreat. In this episode, Stasi and Stacey Burton are excited to share about a new offering from Wild at Heart: the Captivating 1-Day Retreat. It's amazing how deeply Jesus can move when we give him a day to come away and be with him. Listen and discover what can unfold when we make space for deeper connection with Jesus.
