About the Embodied Holiness Podcast

Jesus taught that holiness is meant to be lived in the ordinary moments of our lives. But what does that look like on a chaotic Tuesday morning or in the middle of stress, hurry, and hard conversations? The Embodied Holiness Podcast explores how we can embody the characteristics of Christ in our everyday lives. Through honest stories, trusted resources, and conversations with special guests, you'll receive encouragement for your own journey of faith as you strive to walk in step with the Spirit. If you’re longing to let the life of Christ be lived out in your everyday life, you’re in the right place. Welcome to the conversation!

Today is Holy Saturday.

The day when your followers were terrified.

The day Jerusalem was going through the motions of worship and celebration after rejecting you, abandoning you, murdering you.

The day some felt ashamed, afraid, and devastated while others felt pride and satisfaction over silencing you and removing you from the equation.

On Saturday, you were silent.
On Saturday, you were asleep.
On Saturday you were “gone forever.”
On Saturday you were in the past — no longer with us.

Or so they thought.

It feels like Saturday right now.

Our world seems increasingly satisfied with silencing you.

Increasingly satisfied with removing you from the equation.

Increasingly satisfied with going through the motions of worship and celebration — of preserving our way and our wills over your way and your will.

Today is Saturday in so many ways.

And I will let it be Saturday so I don’t ignore the painful reality of brokenness and rebellion and the shocking truth that — while we were still very much sinners — you died for us.

Thank you, Jesus.

I don’t know how you did it, but thank you for doing it. ❤️

Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.

Susan is joined by original co-hosts Lyerly Christensen and Lindsey Lewis for a rich and meaningful conversation about how life has changed over the past four years. Along the way, they dive into topics that hit close to home: navigating compassion fatigue in a nonstop news cycle, finding your voice when it feels risky to speak, and learning to own your faith instead of living to please others. It’s an honest, encouraging conversation for anyone trying to live faithfully in a complex world.

Grammy-nominated jazz musician and Hattiesburg native Steve Wiest joins Susan for a wide-ranging conversation about faith, creativity, mentorship, and making the most of the one life we’ve been given.

Steve reflects on his formative years in the church, the mentors who “saved his life” during a difficult season, and how those roots shaped both his faith and his wildly creative career. This episode is honest, eclectic, and full of hope — a reminder of the power of people who pour into us and the importance of living fully, right now.
