Love As Refuge with John Eldredge

Why is seeking refuge in God's love essential during these turbulent times? Today, Stasi invites her beloved husband, John, to explore just that. They delve into his upcoming book, which will be released in February 2025, to talk about living in the safety of the shelter of God's love. They also highlight the vital practice of offering radical forgiveness and avoiding bitterness. Friends, our God’s divine love serves as a sanctuary and is the only safe place for our hearts. We flourish under the canopy of his love. In today’s podcast, we'll explore how to cultivate this in our daily lives and relationships by practicing tangible ways to stay tucked in.
…..SHOW NOTES:…..
VERSES: 1 John 4:7-8; 15-17 (NLT) - Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. … All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.
Psalm 91:1-2 (NLT) - Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.
Philippians 1:9 (NLT) - I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding.
Deuteronomy 4:24 (NLT) - The Lord your God is a devouring fire; he is a jealous God.
Hebrews 12:25-29 (NLT) - Be careful that you do not refuse to listen to the One who is speaking. For if the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, we will certainly not escape if we reject the One who speaks to us from heaven! When God spoke from Mount Sinai his voice shook the earth, but now he makes another promise: “Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also.” This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things will remain. Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. For our God is a devouring fire.

All I know is my relationship with God would be nothing like it is if not for the two of you! In the early 2000s I was only a few years in to my relationship with Jesus when a blessed mentor gave me The Sacred Romance and soon after Capivated for my 20 something birthday. I call you modern day prophets. And you really have been spiritual parents to me. I can’t wait to share the kingdom with you guys. I just want to say thank you and keep going, you inspire me. I wait for both podcasts each week with a thirst. Blessings and I do pray for you guys and the ministries 🙏❤

Thank you!!! I am looking forward to the book release when it's "ready". Please consider including this prayer in the PAUSE app. Perhaps when the book is available, it could become a daily focus as you did with Resilience. I've walked through that twice now, once when it was first released, and again in the beginning of this year. God be with you both!
