Wholistic Hearts- A Journey from the Head to the Heart, Encounters with Jesus

In this episode, I invite you into a beautiful part of the Passover tradition called Dayenu—a song of overwhelming gratitude that declares "it would have been enough." As we approach Easter and Passover, I share how this tradition can transform the way we remember God's faithfulness, not just in the big Red Sea moments, but in the everyday manna moments too.Key PointsDayenu is a Passover song meaning "it would have been enough"—an expression of overwhelming gratitudeJesus sang these hymns at the Last Supper, connecting Passover to His sacrifice as the spotless LambThe wine represents Jesus's blood; the bread (matzah) represents His body broken for usGratitude and worship don't just lift our spirits—they help regulate our nervous systemGod provides both Red Sea moments (the big breakthroughs) and everyday manna moments (daily provision)What Is Your Dayenu?If you sat at a table with loved ones, what would your list be?The Practice: "If You had only ________, it would have been enough. But then You also ________."Examples:If God had only paid my bills that month, dayenu—it would have been enoughIf God had only given me healing, dayenu—it would have been enoughIf God had only showed up in that moment, dayenu—it would have been enoughThis Week's InvitationChoose one of these practices to remind yourself of God's faithfulness:Journal Method: Write out your own Dayenu list—all the ways you've witnessed God's goodness firsthandPost-It Note Method: Write 3 things God has done on sticky notes and place them on your bathroom mirror, coffee pot, or car dashboardSpoken Gratitude: Say out loud throughout your day: "If You had only ________, it would have been sufficient"Practice recognizing both the big Red Sea moments AND the everyday manna moments where God provides.Reflection QuestionsWhat are three specific moments where you've seen God's faithfulness with your own eyes?Where do you need to be reminded of God's character, glory, and beauty right now?What everyday manna moments (small, daily provisions) can you thank God for today?Journal PromptsComplete this sentence 5-10 times: "If You had only ________, it would have been enough. But then You also ________."What Red Sea moments (big breakthroughs) has God brought you through?What manna moments (daily provision) are you overlooking that deserve gratitude?Music provided by SoundStripe“Our Memories” by AeroplaneLet's connect:📸 Podcast Instagram: @wholisticheartspodcast📸 Personal Instagram: @kristinfieldschadwick🌐 wholisticheartspodcast.com🌐 kristinfieldschadwick.com☕ Support the Podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/kchadwickSHARE THIS EPISODEKnow someone who needs to remember God's faithfulness?

The beginning of the Gospel according to Luke starts with these penned words…“Since many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word, it seemed fitting to me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in an orderly sequence, most excellent Theophilus; so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.”‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬https://bible.com/bible/2692/luk.1.1-4.NASB2020Earlier on in the Old Testament Joshua was told to stack stones after crossing the Jordan River on dry ground as a symbol of God's faithfulness towards His children. What if we sat down and wrote a letter about what God has done in our lives? What if we sat for a moment and meditated on the "rocks of remembrance" in our lives? What are the testimonies of God we would share? Take time to sit down and ask the Holy Spirit to help you visualize what your rocks are? Use your imagination to picture the words, the testimonies you have been witness to.

In the previous episode, we talked about God as our refuge and our God of justice from Psalm 9. Today, we're moving from head knowledge to heart experience - we're going to encounter Him as our refuge. This is a guided meditation where you'll bring your burdens, your injustices, your heavy feelings to Jesus and experience Him as your high shelter and perfect hiding place. Find a quiet space, close your eyes, and let the Holy Spirit meet you right where you are. You are not forgotten. There is hope.Psalm 9:9-10 (TPT): "All who are oppressed may come to Yahweh as a high shelter in the time of trouble. A perfect hiding place.

Oh Lord, you will never, no, never neglect those who come to you."HOW TO USE THIS EPISODE:Find a Quiet Space:This is not an episode to listen to while driving or multitaskingSet aside 10-15 minutes of uninterrupted timeGet comfortable, close your eyesBring Something Specific:An injustice you're facingA burden from the news or social mediaA situation where you feel overlooked or forgottenWhatever feels heavy right nowLet the Holy Spirit Lead:There are moments of silence - don't skip themNotice what Jesus wants to say or show youPicture Him as your High shelter, your Hiding PlaceHand over what you're carryingWrite It Down:After the encounter, journal what you sensedWhat did the Holy Spirit press upon your imagination?What did you see, hear, or feel?We remember what we take time to write downMusic Provided by Soundstripe:"Folded Silence" by Moments"What We Must" by FallsYou are seen.

The world feels heavy with injustice right now - human trafficking, war, violence, oppression. Maybe you're not just watching it on the news - maybe you're living it. Where is God in all this suffering? Psalm 9 has an answer for us. God sees every injustice, He cares deeply about the oppressed, and He is our refuge RIGHT NOW - not someday in heaven, but today in the midst of the mess. In this episode, we are going back into our Encountering the Psalms series- Psalm 9, to discover God as our high shelter and perfect hiding place, and how He's inviting us to partner with Him, as well.SCRIPTURES MENTIONED:Psalm 9 (Passion Translation)Psalm 9:9-10 (key verses)Hosea 2:15KEY THEMES:God Sees InjusticeGod Is Our Refuge NOWGod Calls Us to Partner With His JusticeQUOTES:Charles Spurgeon on Psalm 9: "We have here before us most engagingly a triumphal hymn, may it strengthen the faith of the militant believer and stimulate courage of the timid saint."Psalm 9:10 (TPT): "You will never, no, never neglect those who come to you."Journal Prompts:What cause is God calling you to partner with?How can you support organizations fighting injustice?What injustice are you personally facing that you need to bring to God as your refuge?NEXT EPISODE:Episode 249: "Encountering God as Your Refuge" (Psalm 9 Encounter)Join us for a guided encounter where we'll practice bringing our burdens to God and experiencing Him as our shelter.CONNECT WITH KRISTIN📱 Instagram: @kristinfieldschadwick 📘 Facebook: @KristinFieldsChadwick 🌐 Website: www.kristinfieldschadwick.com ☕ Support the Podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/kchadwickYou are seen.

Ep. 247 Five Postures of Encountering God: Lessons from Psalm 27In this teaching episode, I invite you to walk through five powerful Hebrew verbs from Psalm 27:4-5 that reveal how we position ourselves for intimacy with Jesus in the Secret Place. These aren't just nice religious words—they're action words that teach us how to move from knowing about God to truly encountering Him in the land of the living, right here, right now.Key PointsOur word for the year: "Behold" (based on Isaiah 43:18-19 and Psalm 27:4-5)The five distinct postures David uses to encounter God: desire, seek, dwell, behold, inquireHow each Hebrew verb reveals a deeper layer of intimacy with the LordTransformation happens not in the doing, but in the being and beholdingWe can see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living—not someday, but todayThe Five Postures Explained1. Desire (Sha'al) - Holy hunger that starts with Him2. Seek (Baqash) - Active pursuit through worship, prayer, and study3. Dwell (Yashab) - Staying present, making home in His presence4. Behold (Chazah) - Gazing at Jesus with delight, encountering Him5. Inquire (Bakar) - Bringing honest questions and searching for His heartThis Week's InvitationPractice one posture each day:Monday: Desire - Ask God to stir holy hunger in youTuesday: Seek - Actively pursue Him through worship and prayerWednesday: Dwell - Spend extra time just being in His presenceThursday: Behold - Gaze at Jesus and delight in who He isFriday: Inquire - Bring your questions and journal His responsesReflection QuestionsWhich of the five postures comes most naturally to you?Which posture challenges you the most?What would it look like to approach God this week with all five postures instead of rushing through a checklist?Journal PromptsRead through Psalm 27 and write down what the Holy Spirit highlights to youWhat did you see, hear, or feel during the encounter time at the end of this episode?Track what God reveals to you through each posture this weekMusic provided by SoundStripe“Monte Rosa” by Alsever Lake“Hol” by Stephen KeechCONNECT WITH KRISTIN📱 Instagram: @kristinfieldschadwick📘 Facebook: @KristinFieldsChadwick🌐 Website: www.kristinfieldschadwick.com☕ Support the Podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/kchadwickSHARE THIS EPISODEKnow someone who wants to go after the more?

What if your vision board about what GOD is doing this year that He's inviting you into?In this episode, I'm walking you through how to create a Kingdom-centered vision board that flows from intimacy with Jesus, honors your current season, and leads to real transformation. This episode will help you approach visioning from a place of listening, surrender, and wholistic alignment with God's purposes for your life.JOURNAL PROMPTS:Recognize where you currently are. What season am I in? What season am I entering into? Where are you feeling discouraged? Hopeless? Hopeful? Ask the Father, what do you see when you look at me? What are some of the promises, prophetic words, etc. you want to remind me in this season? Who are you to me in this season? What part of your personality do you want to reveal to me, God? What do I need to shift in my mindset to become the person you already see me to be in this season?What have you been repeatedly highlighting for me? A verse? A phrase? A song? In this season, what is bringing you joy?What areas do you feel the Lord calling you into an upgrade? Using your sanctified imagination, dream about a day 3 months from now, 6 months, 1 year…what does the day to day look like.

What if Christmas could mean something real again—not just the hustle and tinsel, but something honest that speaks to the chaos we're all feeling?As I lean into creative rest this December, I'm re-airing one of my most beloved Advent interviews with artist and author Scott Erickson about his stunning book Honest Advent. This conversation absolutely changed how I see Christmas.Scott shares how he went from feeling disconnected from Christmas ("elves and reindeer and buy stuff") to discovering the profound vulnerability in the Incarnation story. He invites us into an honest hope—not cheap or shallow, but real hope that can hold the weight of our exhausted, divided world.In this conversation, we explore:Why creativity is a backdoor to what's really happening in our heartsThe "haunting" or invitation we feel toward creating and saying yes to something moreHow Scott transitioned from art teacher to full-time artist and what that cost himWhy paying attention to Mary's embodied experience and vulnerability matters for all of usThe cost of divine revelation How the Incarnation—God becoming fully human—invites us to pay attention to our own humanity and find God in our midstScott's perspective is refreshing, honest, and deeply creative. His book Honest Advent has become one of my go-to resources every December, and I flip through it in the mornings letting his art and essays speak to my heart.If you've ever felt like Christmas has lost its meaning in the midst of a complex, chaotic world—this conversation is for you. Because the offering of Advent is the offering of hope. And an honest Advent leads us to an honest hope.ABOUT SCOTT ERICKSONScott Erickson is a touring painter, performance artist, and creative instigator. His work focuses on the collision of art, spirituality, and meaning-making through meditative art pieces that open backdoors to the heart. He's the author of several books including Honest Advent, Prayer: Forty Days of Practice, and Say Yes: Discover the Surprising Life Beyond the Death of a Dream.RESOURCES MENTIONEDBook: Honest Advent by Scott Erickson Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target, local bookstores, and at HonestAdvent.comFollow Scott's Work: Instagram: @scottthepainter (His daily art posts are absolutely worth following!) Website: scottericksonart.comQUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE"Revelation is a hard gift to receive. You must give up everything else to receive it." - Scott Erickson"I don't want Christmas to feel insignificant in a complex and chaotic world. Can celebrating Christmas mean anything this year? My belief is yes. My hope is yes.""We find a God who's not insulating itself from the human experience, but is fully participating in it. And so then we, in our full human participation, can find God in our midst.""I want an honest Advent because the offering of Advent is the offering of hope. Not a cheap hope, not a shallow hope, but a real honest hope that can deal with the realities of the world we find ourselves in."CREATIVE REST REMINDERAs I mentioned in last week's episode on Sacred Rest, I'm taking creative rest this December. That means I'm re-airing some of my most impactful Advent content and encounters rather than creating brand new episodes from scratch. Rest isn't failure—it's faithfulness. And I'm modeling what I preach.COMING UP NEXTMore Advent encounters to prepare your heart for ChristmasHolistic wellness update for 2026Continuing our journey through the Psalms in the new yearCONNECT WITH KRISTIN📱 Instagram: @kristinfieldschadwick 📘 Facebook: Kristin Fields Chadwick🌐 Website: www.kristinfieldschadwick.com ✉️ Email: [email protected]💚 Want to join the 10K Steps & Vitamin D Challenge?
