Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2571630/fan_mail/new] What remains after the fire? Episode Summary While reading through a series of 6:5 verses on her birthday, Shā was stopped by a command in Leviticus: “The fire on the altar shall be kept burning; it shall not go out.” As she reflected on the responsibility of the priest to tend the fire, the Holy Spirit brought to mind a simple image—what remains after a fire has burned. In this episode of Wilder Whispers, we explore what it means to live as priests before God, to place our lives on the altar as living sacrifices, and to tend the fire through prayer, worship, and obedience. Most importantly, we discover that the fire reveals what truly matters. Because one day the fire will have finished its work—and what remains will matter most.

Saturated | Learning to Live in His Presence

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2571630/fan_mail/new] What if the Presence of God was never meant to be something you visit occasionally… but Someone you walk with continually? Episode Summary In Episode 7 of Wilder Whispers, we explore what it means to live saturated in the Presence of God. After a simple moment of thanksgiving in a public restaurant, Shā reflects on the reality that God’s Presence is not confined to church services, prayer closets, or “spiritual moments.” Through Jesus Christ and the indwelling Holy Spirit, God now dwells within His people—and invites us into a life of continual fellowship with Him. From the Garden of Eden to Moses, the tabernacle, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, Scripture reveals one consistent truth: God has always desired to dwell with His people. This episode explores: * abiding in Christ through John 15 * the difference between observing God and truly drawing near * why abiding requires obedience and surrender * how His Presence transforms us * and how saturated believers become rivers of living water in dry places Because God never intended His Presence to stop with us. Scripture References * Psalm 100:4 * Genesis 3 * Exodus 19–20 * Exodus 33:11 * John 15 * John 7:38 * 1 John 3:6 * Ezekiel 47 * Hebrews 4:16 * Revelation 21:3 Listen closely: When we remain in His Presence long enough, what fills us begins flowing through us.
