    E120 | The Captivating 1-Day Retreat: The Power of Stepping Away with God
    Apr 29 2026

    What might God do if we gave him our attention and our yes, for a single day? In the midst of our full lives, it is often easier to come away for one day than the full 4-day Captivating Retreat. In this episode, Stasi and Stacey Burton are excited to share about a new offering from Wild at Heart: the Captivating 1-Day Retreat. It's amazing how deeply Jesus can move when we give him a day to come away and be with him. Listen and discover what can unfold when we make space for deeper connection with Jesus.

  • E119 | Food and Our Bodies: A New Way Forward

    E119 | Food and Our Bodies: A New Way Forward
    Apr 15 2026
    What if the ways we’ve learned to live with food and our bodies could begin to make sense—and even soften—when seen through a deeper, more compassionate understanding of our story? In Part 2 of this series, Stasi and Diane Summers continue their conversation on food and the body as they explore the impact of our early years. As shame is named and grace is invited in, a more grounded and accepting way forward begins to unfold. We hope this conversation leaves you feeling encouraged, blessed by mercy, and hopeful for the goodness that is ahead.…..SHOW NOTES:…..If you haven’t listened to Part 1 — E118 | Food and Our Bodies: Learning to Live in Kindness — you can do so here: YouTube: https://wahe.art/4clbkB7Wild at Heart App: https://wahe.art/4cad3ugVERSES: John 8:32 (NIV) – Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free…..DIANE SUMMERSWebsite: HopeNutritionTherapy.comContact: diane@hopenutritiontherapy.com — If you tried to reach out to Diane after Part 1 and didn’t hear back, her contact form was down.

    E118 | Food and Our Bodies: Learning to Live in Kindness
    Apr 1 2026
    One in four of us—perhaps even more—have a messy relationship with our bodies as well as with food. What if a struggle with food and our bodies is not a failure, but a place Jesus longs to meet us with mercy? In this tender conversation, deeper stories beneath diet culture are gently uncovered, inviting compassion, healing, and hope. Nothing in our story is beyond His care. Come and begin to receive a kinder way forward. This is Part 1 of a 2-part conversation.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Isaiah 61:1 (NIV) – The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.Luke 4:18 (NIV) – The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.Song of Songs 2:14 (NIV) – My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places on the mountainside, show me your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.Ecclesiastes 1:14 (NIV) – I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.…..DIANE SUMMERSWebsite:⁠HopeNutritionTherapy.com⁠BIODiane Summers, MS, RDN has had the immense privilege of providing nutrition therapy for folks from all walks of life as they heal from the full spectrum of eating concerns and struggles, to include but not limited to severe eating disorders, chronic dieting and weight cycling, and orthorexia.
