Captivated

By remembering what is true, we hold onto the Promise that everlasting joy is our inheritance. As we step into Easter, Stasi reminds us that even in the midst of overwhelming heartbreak, Jesus is victorious, and in that, our hope rests. Friends, sorrow, pain, and loss do not have the final word nor does it define us. We will overcome because Jesus has overcome.

What is Captivated?

Hosted by Stasi Eldredge, her desire for this podcast is for the revelation of the Love of God to so engulf the listener that they become exquisitely captivated by Jesus. Stasi wants to invite listeners to respond to the reality that they are the purpose of His pursuit, the desire of His heart, the intent of the Larger Story and the prize of Heaven.
