Welcome to Awaken Delight | The Podcast

 

In this brand-new series centered around Stephanie’s new book, we explore several ways that we lose and can recover our delight in God, rooted in His delight of us. "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." This is God's promise to you in Psalm 37:4. But many believers quietly assume it's just a poetic suggestion, or it doesn't really work here on earth. 

FOR EVERY PODCAST EPISODE, we offer a FREE practical, digital devotional tailored to YOUR need right now:

1- Are you weary and exhausted from trying too hard to be a good Christian? Episode 446 is for you.

2- Are you stuck in trying to please God? Episode 448 is for you!

3- Are you in a season of pain, grief, and/or suffering? Episodes 452 and 454 are for you.

4- Does Jesus feel distant? Or, is your faith seem boring, tasteless, flavorless? Episode 458 is for you.

5- Are you seeking fresh ways to experience Jesus through the classic spiritual disciplines? Episode 460 is for you.

 

In her book, Awaken Delight: Satisfying your soul's longing for God (IVP, 2026), Stephanie Rousselle invites you to rediscover what Scripture actually means by delight in God. It's not emotional hype or religious performance, but a steady satisfaction rooted in who God is.

Through biblical theology and practical rhythms, you'll learn how delighting in God:

  • reshapes suffering
  • quiets restless striving
  • anchors your identity in God's unshakable delight of you

Learning to delight in God is the quiet revolution that reshapes how we endure pain, love others, and understand our own hearts.

Awaken Delight is a theologically grounded spiritual formation book for thoughtful believers who feel spiritually fatigued and are ready to embrace the reality of Psalm 37:4.

"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."―Psalm 37:4

What if you've lost your delight in God? Or you've never really experienced it in the first place? What if a season of suffering has snuffed out your joy, leaving you spiritually discouraged and emotionally numb? Delighting in God changes everything: how you experience your faith, relationships, and circumstances―and even how you see yourself.

You can experience Psalm 37:4 as your daily reality.

In her book Awaken Delight, Stephanie Rousselle connects scriptural and theological truth to your everyday life so you can experience what delighting in God really means. It's not about checking boxes on a spiritual to-do list or mustering a constant state of positive feelings. Rather, delight is about satisfying your soul's deepest longing through a vibrant relationship with the living God. Awaken Delight provides you with a simple-yet-profound theological and practical roadmap to delight in God!
