Captivated

We all have a core need to belong. As infants, we seek this secure belonging through our parents and caregivers, primarily from our mothers, and this attachment frames our sense of belonging throughout our lives. Join Stasi as she shares this hopeful message on what it means to belong to God, who is our El Shaddai—the One who provides all that we need, who cares for us, and who lovingly says to us, "Daughter, you are mine, and you belong." God is our essential attachment, and our soul coming home.

Verses: 
  • Romans 12:5 (NIV) — ​​so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
  • Psalm 23:1 (TPT) —  Yahweh is my best friend and my shepherd. I always have more than enough. 
  • Isaiah 44:5 (NIV) — ​​Some will say, ‘I belong to the Lord’; others will call themselves by the name of Jacob; still others will write on their hand, ‘The Lord’s,’ and will take the name Israel.
  • Deuteronomy 8:7-9 (NIV) — ​​For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills; a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey; a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.

Quote: J. I. Packer from Knowing God
 “What matters supremely, therefore, is not, in the last analysis, the fact that I know God, but the larger fact which underlies it—the fact that He knows me. I am graven on the palms of His hands; I am never out of His mind. “

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. The King is captivated by them.
