Captivated

Join Stasi and her guest Melissa Johnson – therapist, teacher and author – as they discuss soul-deep beauty. Most of us have been sold a shame-based view of beauty which can rob us from resting in our true authentic beauty. Melissa defines authenic beauty as the life of God at work in us and among us. Friends, we are at our most lovely when we are living in union with God, embracing the fullness of the life for which we are created.

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.

Episodes will be flavored with humor, passion, perspective, honesty, and personal stories both from Stasi and from guests that highlight the shared experiences of women living in these extraordinary days with hearts captured by Jesus.
