Captivated

Stasi is delighted to have Lisa Harper—speaker, author, scholar, and passionate follower of Jesus—on today’s podcast. With humor and honesty, Lisa shares her journey with Christ and the gracious unfolding of learning to be delighted in by God. God is a “with” God; he loves us so much that he chooses to be close to us no matter where we find ourselves and invites us to lean into him with confidence that we will be held and adored by the King of kings. We are divinely wired to be in intimate relationship with the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. The enemy has tried to separate us from that union from the beginning, but God’s story is all about bringing us back to his heart through the redemption that has already been woven in.
