Stasi Eldredge: How to Actually Know God (Not Just Know About Him) on the Grow and Go with Em Tyler Podcast

What if everything you’ve ever done, everything that’s ever been done to you, and every season you’ve walked through that felt like it disqualified you . . . what if none of it takes you out of the grace of God?

This week I sit down with Stasi Eldredge—New York Times bestselling author, co-founder of Wild at Heart, teacher, speaker, and someone whose books have sold nearly three million copies and changed women’s lives all over the world. Her latest book, The Ladder of Love, is out now and it is such a beautiful invitation: not to do more, not to perform better, but to actually know God.

Stasi is so honest in this conversation and in the book about the things that keep us from receiving what we already possess. Shame. Hurt. Wrong theology absorbed along the way. She shares her own story with vulnerability in such a way to lead others to freedom.

If you have ‘little ears’ around, this may be a conversation best saved for later when you can listen alone.

We talk about:

✨ What the ladder metaphor is and why it starts with the firm foundation of who we are in Christ✨ The difference between knowing facts about God and knowing him by experience✨ Why shame is an enemy and what it does to our relationship with God✨ Stasi’s own story and why she shares the parts of it she’d find easiest to hide✨ Why emotional healing and spiritual growth need to happen together✨ How to get back into alignment with the true father heart of God when your theology has been shaped by wounds✨ The rung on the ladder Stasi was least familiar with — and what it taught her about Jesus

Is there a way of knowing God — a rung on the ladder — that feels far away or out of reach for you right now?
