Captivated Radical Discipleship: Encounter and Embodiment
In the final episode of our Radical Discipleship series, we explore the transformative practice of encountering and embodying the Trinity. Stasi shares how intimately knowing God—through creation, our senses, and stillness—allows us to rest in His goodness and be saturated by His love. This awareness leads to trust, worship, and ultimately embodying Christ. Through the Holy Spirit, we are invited to be filled with Jesus and live out His love. Stasi closes with a powerful time of prayer to help us encounter our King. Friends, we hope this series has inspired you to discover the many ways we can truly know, worship, love, and live intimately with God and partner with him, so that he spills over into every aspect of our lives.

The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

“... . Here then are the two least misleading ways of speaking about the God who surpasses our understanding. He is personal. And he is love. And these are basically two ways of saying the same thing. Our way of entry into the mystery of God is through personal love..”
Madame Jeanne Guyon from Experiencing the Depth of Jesus Christ https://amzn.to/3ZnXQ2z
“When you are quiet before God, simply allow yourself time to enjoy his presence and be filled full in your spirit. Hearing is a passive rather than active procedure. Rest, rest, rest in God's love. Simply listen and be attentive to God. These passive actions will permit God to communicate his love to you. When your spirit is centered on God, all activities he initiates will be full of peace and natural and so spontaneous that it will appear to you that there has hardly been any activity at all.”

“Quietness in the absence of external noise. Stillness is the absence of internal noise.”

“If we are going to be disciples, we have to orient our lives around three goals. (1) Be with Jesus (2) become like Jesus, and (3) Do as Jesus did.”
