Learning To Hear God’s Voice | Stasi Eldredge

Do you desire to know God deeper, but don’t know where to start? In this episode of the Rhythms for Life podcast, Rebekah Lyons sits down with Stasi Eldredge; New York Times bestselling author, co-author of Captivating with her husband John, and co-founder of Wild at Heart. Together they talk about what it really looks like to move from knowing God in our heads to knowing Him in our hearts. 

In her new book, The Ladder of Love, Stasi traces the metaphors God uses to reveal Himself in Scripture: clay, sheep, child, sibling, friend, and bride. Each one is a rung that brings us closer to His heart. In this conversation, Stasi and Rebekah talk through each metaphor, sharing personal anecdotes and insight on intimacy with God in each step of the way.

Whether you've walked with Jesus for decades and long for more, or you're still learning to recognize His voice, this conversation offers a gentle, practical invitation into deeper intimacy with the God who calls you friend.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Formed Like Clay: Discover God’s intention with creating each of us, not just by speaking us into existence, but thoughtfully creating us by hand. 
• The Circular Ascent: Be encouraged in moments that leave you saying “I’ve been here before” by learning how Shepherds lead and guide.
• Creating Space for Listening Prayer: Learn practical steps for slowing down and sitting with God in discernment.
• Run in Like a Child: Rethink how you come to God by regaining the posture of a child, running to Him without caution or hesitation.
• Becoming the Bride: Find ultimate, deep intimacy with Jesus through the final rung of the ladder of love.
