Fueled by God 2:03

10h ago2:03

2:03

Guys are unanimously embarrassed by their emptiness and woundedness; it is for most of us a tremendous source of shame, as I've said. But it need not be. From the very beginning, back before the Fall and the assault, ours was meant to be a desperately dependent existence. It's like a tree and its branches, explains Christ. You are the branches, I a…

Everyday Experiences with Jesus - Q2 Recap 50:11

11h ago50:11

50:11

What were the top moments from the last twelve Wild at Heart podcasts? In the first half of our second quarter recap, John and Allen talk about the big ideas and disruptive concepts from our recent Ordinary Mystics series. Clips pulled from these episodes: ⁠April 8th - Disciples of the Internet⁠ ⁠April 15th - Weary, Skeptical Pragmatists⁠ ⁠April 22…

Hard-pressed 2:52

10h ago2:52

2:52

Now Peter was sitting out in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him. “You also were with Jesus of Galilee,” she said. But he denied it before them all. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said. Then he went out to the gateway, where another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This fellow was with Jesus of Nazareth.” …

His Plans Are Good 1:38

1d ago1:38

1:38

God interferes with us a lot. He interferes with our inner diatribes; He interferes with our style of relating; He blocks the paths we wrongly think will lead to life. He interferes to bring us up short so that we might see where we are taking the wrong turn. He wants us to truly know Him and enjoy Him. He wants us to live lives that will lead us m…

Denial 1:20

2d ago1:20

1:20

Denial is a favorite method of coping for many Christians. But not with Jesus. He wants truth in the inmost being, and to get it there he's got to take us into our inmost being. One way he'll do this is by bringing up an old memory. You'll be driving down the road and suddenly remember something from your childhood. Or maybe you'll have a dream abo…

Trap for Desire 1:50

3d ago1:50

1:50

The Evil One has basically two ploys. If he cannot get us to kill our hearts and bury our desire, then he is delighted to seduce our desire into a trap. Once we give over our desire for life to any object other than God, we become ensnared. Think of the phrase "She's a slave to fashion." We become slaves to any number of things, which at the outset…

God is Out There 1:56

4d ago1:56

1:56

We are looking for more of God. You’re far more likely to find him in a walk through an orchard or a sit by a pond than you are in a subway terminal. Of course God is with us and for us wherever we are, but in terms of refreshment, renewal, restoration, in terms of finding God in ways we can drink deeply of his wonderful being, you’d do better to l…

Surrender Self-Determination 1:54

5d ago1:54

1:54

Love Jesus. Let him be himself with you. Allow his life to fill yours. Every day, give him your life to be filled with his. This is part of what I now pray, every morning: Lord Jesus, I give my life to you today, to live your life. Of course, this assumes that you are willing to surrender your self-determination. You’ll find it hard to receive his …

Chase Our Dreams 2:07

6d ago2:07

2:07

The book “Killing Lions” is a conversation between John and Sam Eldredge about the trials young men face. [Sam] Obviously we’ve been told to chase our dreams. Over and over again every high school and college graduation speech challenged us to reach for the stars (as though they had just stumbled upon an original metaphor). But all the while we wer…

The Future of Wild at Heart 49:40

6d ago49:40

49:40

In the second half of the series, John and Stasi talk about the deep spiritual ties Wild at Heart has to Iona, Celtic Christianity, and a gospel that is free from the religious spirit. They share about the wild early days of our podcast that's now aired close to 800 weekly episodes. But more than reminiscing about the past, John and Stasi share abo…

In the Crosshairs 1:51

7d ago1:51

1:51

The question is not, Are we spiritually oppressed, but Where and How? Think of it — why does every story have a villain? Little Red Riding Hood is attacked by a wolf. Dorothy must face and bring down the Wicked Witch of the West. Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi go hand to hand against Darth Maul. To release the captives of the Matrix, Neo battles t…

Is He Safe? 2:18

8d ago2:18

2:18

In C. S. Lewis's novel The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, of The Chronicles of Narnia series, four children, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, pass through the wardrobe's portal to find the kingdom of Narnia imprisoned under the spell of the White Witch. Aslan the lion, who is the king of Narnia, is nowhere to be found. Although rumor has it "He …

God as the Epicenter 3:17

9d ago3:17

3:17

The mistake folks are making in this rough hour is trying to figure out how to fit a little more of God into their crowded lives. We need to do the opposite. Start with God, center your life on him, and work outward from there. Our spirituality moves from something that is part of our life to the epicenter of our life — from which all other things …

Leaving What Is Familiar 1:56

10d ago1:56

1:56

The history of a man's relationship with God is the story of how God calls him out, takes him on a journey, and gives him his true name. Most of us have thought it was the story of how God sits on his throne waiting to whack a man broadside when he steps out of line. Not so. He created Adam for adventure, battle, and beauty; he created us for a uni…

Take the Risk 1:28

11d ago1:28

1:28

We aren't meant to figure life out on our own. God wants to father us. The truth is, he has been fathering us for a long time — we just haven't had the eyes to see it. He wants to father us much more intimately, but we have to be in a posture to receive it. What that involves is a new way of seeing, a fundamental reorientation of how we look at lif…

The Root of Fatherlessness 1:43

12d ago1:43

1:43

Today’s Daily Reading is an excerpt from Morgan Snyder's book “Becoming a King” Years ago I came across a very revealing story recounted by Gordon Dalbey. He told of a nun who worked in a men’s prison. One year she brought some Mother’s Day cards to distribute to any prisoners who were interested in sending cards to their moms. Word spread, and req…

Moments of Immense Consequence 0:53

13d ago0:53

0:53

Scripture tells us that we might at any time entertain an angel simply by welcoming a stranger. The serpent in the garden is really the Prince of Darkness. The carpenter from Nazareth — there is more to him than meets the eye as well. Things are not what they seem, and so if we would understand our lives — and especially our marriages — we must lis…

How Wild at Heart Began 49:15

13d ago49:15

49:15

Many are familiar with Wild at Heart but few know how the ministry, originally named Ransomed Heart, came to be. It's a story of countless miracles from God, intense spiritual warfare, and amazing breakthroughs. In the first half of the series, John and Stasi share about the early, hard days of their marriage, their shared desire for a ministry of …

We Need a Guide 2:48

14d ago2:48

2:48

Whatever the details might be, when a man speaks of the greatest gift his father gave him — if his father gave him anything at all worth remembering — it is always the passing on of masculinity. This is essential, for life will test you. Like a ship at sea, you will be tested, and the storms will reveal the weak places in you as a man. They already…

Is Jesus in It? 2:11

15d ago2:11

2:11

We’ve got to remember, folks, that no matter how promising an idea sounds, if God’s not in it, you don’t want to be in it either. This is true of a relationship, career change, buying or selling a house, even something as simple as a vacation. We only want what Jesus is in; we only want what our Father is giving. The key test for this moment is not…

A Vital Act 1:25

16d ago1:25

1:25

In our eagerness to see good happen, Christians often jump straight into praying, without first pausing and aligning ourselves with Jesus —l ike a trombone player who simply starts playing her part without waiting for the conductor; or an athlete who skips all his normal stretches and warm-ups and tries to hurl himself into the game from a cold sta…

Fully Integrated 2:07

17d ago2:07

2:07

The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners. (Isaiah 61:1) The Hebrew for “brokenhearted” is a conjunction of two words: leb, which is the heart, and shabar,…

Imitation of Christ 1:20

18d ago1:20

1:20

I don’t recall a worship song with the word cunning in it. “Thou Art Cunning,” or “Cunning, Cunning, Cunning.” Do we interpret his actions in our lives as perhaps part of some cunning plan? That delayed answer to prayer — is there something brilliant about the timing? Would it help us to rest if we thought so? When he answers our prayers with “No,”…

The Last Adam, the Second Man 1:43

19d ago1:43

1:43

Jesus of Nazareth is given many names in Scripture. He is called the Lion of Judah. The Bright and Morning Star. The Wonderful Counselor. The Prince of Peace. The Lamb of God. There are many, many more — each one a window into all that he truly is, all that he has done, all that he will do. But one name seems to have escaped our attention, and that…

Resignation 2:08

20d ago2:08

2:08

Resignation is not just the sigh that groans with something gone wrong. Such a sigh can be redemptive if it does not let go of the Haunting we have all experienced of something presently lost. Resignation is the acceptance of the loss as final. It is the condition in which we choose to see good as no longer startling in its beauty and boldness, but…

Stories Around a Fire 41:17

20d ago41:17

41:17

Wild at Heart Fires are igniting around the globe. In this week's podcast, John and Morgan share more about these authentic monthly gatherings where men experience God and the restoration of their hearts through the stories of other men, told around a fire. Discover how you can be part of this movement by hosting or attending a Fire in your part of…

A Gospel of Sin Management 1:45

21d ago1:45

1:45

You have your heads in your Bibles constantly because you think you’ll find eternal life there. But you miss the forest for the trees. These Scriptures are all about me! And here I am, standing right before you, and you aren’t willing to receive from me the life you say you want. (John 5:39–40 The Message) The promise of life and the invitation to …

God, I Love You 1:53

22d ago1:53

1:53

This isn’t complicated. We simply start saying, “I love you” as we turn our attention towards him for a moment or two. As I do so I find it helpful to recall some reason I love God: his goodness, the beauty of the world (ninety thousand caribou stacked up for a river crossing), a kindness I recently received. “God is the creator of everything I lov…

Misinterpreting Life 2:23

23d ago2:23

2:23

Most of us have been misinterpreting life and what God is doing for a long time. "I think I'm just trying to get God to make my life work easier," a client of mine confessed, but he could have been speaking for most of us. We're asking the wrong questions. Most of us are asking, "God, why did you let this happen to me?" Or, "God, why won't you just…

All That Effort for One 1:20

24d ago1:20

1:20

There is the story of subduing the storm and immediately after, the encounter with Legion. In all three synoptic Gospels, these two stories are linked—a frightening storm, and then a frightening demoniac. In all three accounts, Jesus — who was sleeping in the stern of the sinking boat — rises to confront the tempest like a drill sergeant: “Quiet! B…

Two Ecosystems 3:28

25d ago3:28

3:28

Christians are designed to live in and enjoy the benefits of two ecosystems, two realities — the physical and the spiritual, the earth and the heavens. Each world offers graces for human flourishing. The natural world is saturated with beauty, and beauty nourishes the human soul. That’s why we vacation in lovely places — when we’re looking to be re…

Relating to Others 1:23

26d ago1:23

1:23

One of the most profound surprises that has come about through walking with God has been with regard to people. People make up a very large part of our lives. We’re surrounded by people. We deal with others every day, from the driver in front of us, to the waitress in the café, to the gal in the next office, to those who share our homes. And they a…

Beautiful Beyond Description 2:10

27d ago2:10

2:10

Is there any doubt that the God John beheld (Rev. 4:3, 6) was beautiful beyond description? But of course. God must be even more glorious than this glorious creation, for it "foretells" or "displays" the glory that is God's. John said God was as radiant as gemstones, richly adorned in golds and reds and greens and blues, shimmering as crystal. Why,…

Reclaiming Masculine Sexuality 1:01:44

27d ago1:01:44

1:01:44

In our sex-saturated world, it might seem surprising that men need more talk about sex. But the reality is that sexuality is one of the most neglected aspects of most men's lives. In this podcast, John invites therapist Sam Jolman into the studio to talk about how to reconnect God-given sexuality with innocence, awe, and joy. Show Notes: Sam Jolman…

Cultivate a Heart of Joy 2:56

28d ago2:56

2:56

Because of Jesus, we have every reason to be known as people of deep hope and joy. But does that mean we are going to be running around singing and dancing and smiling every moment of our lives? Are you able to? Am I? Is that what it means to “rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice”? (Phil. 4:4 esv). I hope by now that you know I don…

Vindication 3:12

29d ago3:12

3:12

But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will te…

The Meadowlark 3:10

1M ago3:10

3:10

The meadowlark has long been my favorite songbird. I love its song because it evokes so many summer days out in the fields and streams of the West. Its song means summer, hay meadows, long lazy days, fly-fishing. More than anything else, it has become for me a symbol of hope. The meadowlark returns to Colorado in the early spring, and as I’ve menti…

Hedging Our Bets 1:37

1M ago1:37

1:37

So long as we imagine it is we who have to look for God, we must often lose heart. But it is the other way about – He is looking for us. —Simon Tugwell Can it possibly get any more uncertain than this? We so long for life to be better than it is. We wish the beauty and love and adventure would stay and that someone strong and kind would show us how…

Do You Want to Get Well? 2:32

1M ago2:32

2:32

The shriveled figure lay in the sun like a pile of rags dumped there by accident. It hardly appeared to be human. But those who used the gate to go in and out of Jerusalem recognized him. He was disabled, dropped off there every morning by someone in his family, and picked up again at the end of the day. A rumor was going around that sometimes (no …

Ought Is Not Enough 2:36

1M ago2:36

2:36

When the going gets rough, we're going nowhere without desire. And the going will get rough. The world, the minions of darkness, and your own double-mindedness are all set against you. Just try coming alive, try living from your heart for the Sacred Romance and watch how the world responds. They will hate you for it and will do everything in their …

Praying the Cross of Christ 1:58

1M ago1:58

1:58

“May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world” (Gal. 6:14). The Greek word here for “the world” we are crucified to is kosmos. It is quite an encompassing term, including all the inhabitants of the earth; mankind; the human race. It also refers to the ungodly; t…

Summer Soul Care 46:39

In the series conclusion, Johh, Stasi, Stacey, and Allen talk about humorous stories from past summer blunders they've made....while offering counsel for how not to make similar mistakes. The goal isn't to fill your summer with activities or put all your hopes on one vacation, but to ask Jesus, What is the pace that you have for me this summer? Sho…

The Promise Fulfilled 1:25

1M ago1:25

1:25

It's undeniable: the new covenant, accomplished through the work of Christ, means that we have new hearts. Our hearts are good. Or God's a liar. Until we embrace that stunning truth, we will find it really hard to make decisions, because we can't trust what our hearts are saying. We'll have to be motivated by external pressure since we can't be mot…

Fueling Your Hope 2:04

1M ago2:04

2:04

Where has Jesus come through for you? Really. Take a moment and remember. And then write it down. Remembering fertilizes our hope. It makes our faith burgeon and bloom. It strengthens our belief in the promises of God that He is good and He is for us. Remembering fuels our joy even when surrounded by thieves who want to steal it. Sometimes being a …

Swinging at a Piñata 1:12

1M ago1:12

1:12

The book “Killing Lions” is a conversation between John and Sam Eldredge about the trials young men face. [Sam] When we moved into our first place, Susie started having some intense nightmares, something that isn’t common for her. After a couple of nights of this, we figured praying against it couldn’t hurt, so we tried it. I felt like an idiot at …

Our Hunger Deepened 1:44

1M ago1:44

1:44

We cannot know the plans of God for us beyond His promises that He is working for our good at all times. And often we are far from comfortable as we wait. But, just as David wrote in the psalm, we, too, can remember God’s great love and faithfulness and trust that our King is forging something beautiful in us even as we wait. He is making us into a…

Did Jesus Get Dirt on His Robe? 1:25

1M ago1:25

1:25

You might think that keeping Jesus all mysterious and heavenly is the proper thing to do, but consider this: When he came, he came as presented in the Gospels — very much human, a person, a man, with a very distinct personality. This is the primary witness we have of him, recorded for all who would know him. This is how he chooses to make himself k…

Radiant Life 1:06

1M ago1:06

1:06

Most of you have heard of the famous Cross, the assurance of forgiveness (and Lord knows we’ll need buckets of that as we go along). In the Cross God undergoes utter forsakenness so that we will never be forsaken. He understands sorrow, pain, rejection, misunderstanding, and abandonment. But what follows is for some reason, less well-known or at le…

What You Need This Summer 42:16

1M ago42:16

42:16

Summer is the ideal time for evening walks, family vacations, barbecues, and a slower pace of life. But when we forget to ask God what our souls need most, our desire for joy and rest can turn to disappointment and exhaustion. In the first half of this series, John, Stasi, Stacey, and Allen share how to take the pressure off, play the long game, an…

Prayer Isn't Just a Band-Aid 1:02

1M ago1:02

1:02

I never assume I know what the new prayer need before me requires. If someone asks me, “Pray that my mother and my father reconcile,” I don’t simply start praying that. For one thing, I do not know with any sort of certainty that reconciliation is what God is doing in this moment. It may well be the will of God that her parents reconcile, but it ma…
