Getting Closer to Jesus: What Intimacy and Healing Looks Like with Stasi Eldredge

Send us Fan Mail Healing is never as instant or easy as we think it should be. Maybe it's our culture or just the way life seems to push us to the next thing constantly, but healing seems to be a checklist item instead of a journey.  This healing and closeness to God is something that we need some guidance on. Because of our broken world it's not our go to response to run to Jesus. So how do we become people who run to Jesus? What does it look like to heal and grow closer to the Lord? Stasi my new friend wrote a wonderful book on this and was so gracious to share some of it with us on the podcast!  Stasi Eldredge is a New York Times bestselling author, and her books have sold nearly 3 million copies and changed women's lives all over the world. A teacher and conference speaker, Stasi is the cofounder of Wild at Heart, a ministry devoted to helping people discover the heart of God, recover their own hearts in God's love, and learn to live in God's Kingdom. Her passion is to see lives transformed by the beauty of the gospel. She and her husband, John, make their home in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Conversation Highlights: Too often we think we need to clean up before we come to Jesus but that isn’t true God’s invitation is to come close and ever closer to Him all along the way We can’t just know about God, we need to know Him intimately Facts can only get you so far, and that isn’t enough - we need to have a heart-to-heart intimacy with Jesus God meets us in the midst of our life, even if it’s messy, He is there God wants to address the ways we’ve been hurt, He is still about healing the brokenhearted He wants to reframe how our view of Him has been warped by the pain and the wounds we have experienced in our lives Intimacy grows over time - respond to the invitation from God to meet with Him God has the right to shape us, purify us and form us Whatever you are doing through the service of love to God is worship We need reminded of God’s love for us, every single day!
