The Devoted Podcast

It’s tempting to compartmentalise our soul, spirit, and body as completely separate from one another—it feels easier to handle. But the truth is that God created us as integrated beings. That means that our bodies are just as wondrous, valuable, and holy in Christ as the unseen parts of us. So why do we often treat our bodies as unimportant—or worse, as an enemy? Join Aimée and guest Rebekah Fedrowitz as they discuss how our bodies come into worship and what it looks like to honour and take responsibility for the bodies and the health that we have while also submitting to and trusting in God. Connect with Rebekah at www.rebekahfedrowitz.com.

Intimate relationship with God is built on authenticity and honesty—yet so many of us are uncomfortable expressing or even acknowledging our feelings to Him. How can we commit to loving God with all that we are if we leave out one of the most powerful drivers in our lives: our emotions? Join Aimée and guest Carina Alanson as they explore the role of emotions in faith and how they can become powerful allies, helping us grow in discernment and deepening our relationship with the Lord.

None of us are strangers to grief; we have all felt its sting. And while grief can upend us, it can also be an opportunity to encounter firsthand "the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort." Join Aimée and guest Ann Marie Ferry for this special conversation about navigating grief and loss (including pregnancy loss and stillbirth), the power of honest lament, and how very close God is to us in those times. Find Ann-Marie's pregnancy loss resources at https://www.annmarieferry.com/ and connect with her @ann_marieferry.

One of the ways that Jesus specifically asks us to love Him is with our minds. But how do we do this when it feels like our minds are broken and dark? How do we pursue devotion when we're struggling with mental illness? Join Aimée and guests Ellie Di Julio and Adelaide Mitchell on the podcast as they share their personal experiences with navigating the intersection of faith and mental health. Follow Ellie @elliedijulio and Adelaide @thestoneandtheoak.

At some point, we all find ourselves in the waiting rooms of life. These places have both the potential to become places of destruction where our faith is derailed, or, places of encounter as we learn to draw near and trust in the Lord's timing. We all want them to be the latter, but how do we steward times of delay well? Join Aimée and guest Penny Patterson as they reflect on what God has taught them as they've waited for the 'proper time' for the desires of their hearts to be fulfilled.

The Devoted Podcast is kicking off with a conversation about something that can stop us from living devoted lives: comparison. Comparison can trip us up and prevent us from running the race God has marked out for us--or worse still, it can mean we never even get over the start line. Join host Aimée Walker and guest, Becs Green, as we consider how we can overcome comparison and get our eyes back where they belong--on Jesus.

Next week we are kicking off the very first season of The Devoted Podcast, and we could not be more excited to be bringing you these conversations about loving God with all that we are right where we are. We have lined up 12 amazing women to share their stories about what it’s looked like for them to love God well no matter what season they have found themselves in. We believe that as you listen to these conversations, that not only are you going to be encouraged and equipped, but you'll also be empowered to overcome some of the obstacles in your own life and heart to wholehearted devotion. Listen in to find out more about the upcoming season.
