Ask John Anything - Part 1

July 29, 2024 • John Eldredge, Allen Arnold

Ever wish you could ask John a question about a Wild at Heart podcast or for advice as a spiritual father? We created an email for listeners and viewers to do just that...and the response has been overwhelming! Allen chose some of the most intriguing questions to ask John in this first half of the series—including why we don't see miracles today like in Jesus' time, whether it's normal for believers to be exhausted, if we should ask angels directly for help, and how to recover the lost intimacy we once had with God.

Awakening Your Creativity

July 15, 2024 • John Eldredge, Allen Arnold

St. Irenaeus said, "The glory of God is man fully alive." One of the significant ways we express the glory of God is through our creativity. Because to reflect the image of God is to be wildly creative. In the first half of this series, John and Allen share why pursuing what we love to do with God is essential to our wholeness—and how shame tries to derail this heart-awakening. Show Notes: The book referenced is The Soul of Shame by Curt Thompson.

Reclaiming Masculine Sexuality

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.

What You Need This Summer

May 20, 2024

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, and leave margin for the unexpected this summer. _______________________________________________ There is more.
