The Spiritual Work of Becoming Fully Alive with Bekah Stewart

Season 2 · Episode 21

Tuesday, October 28, 2025 • Duration 38:55

In this episode, Sarah sits down with Bekah Stewart, spiritual director and author of "Permission to Matter: The Invitation to Wake Up, Stand Up, and Come Out of Hiding". Together they explore what it means for women to reclaim their spiritual agency and embrace a faith that honors their whole selves.

Bekah shares how traditional models of spiritual formation (often shaped by male perspectives) tend to focus on overcoming pride. But for many women, the deeper struggle is self-erasure: shrinking or hiding before ever being seen. She invites listeners to imagine a spiritual life rooted in awakening to our God-given worth and calling.

They discuss the difference between self-sacrifice and self-abandonment, the four modes of knowing that shape our faith, and what it means to embody the authority of the Holy Spirit.
