To Woo Our Hearts 1:51

17h ago1:51

1:51

When the curtain goes up on the story of humanity, we see God in a flurry of breathtaking, dramatic actions that we rather blandly call “creation.” Remember, we’re looking for the motives of his heart. Why is he doing all this? We know he already had the perfect relationship and that he has suffered a betrayal in the heart of heaven simply for the …

There's Got To Be More 48:47

1d ago48:47

48:47

Our hearts long for greater adventure and romance than this world can ever fully satisfy. This can't be it. There's got to be more. Thankfully, there is! In this second of a three-part series, John, Stasi, Allen and guest Mary Ellen Owen talk about how The Sacred Romance pulls the curtain back on this cosmic drama that God's been weaving since befo…

Alive to God 1:35

1d ago1:35

1:35

I am deep in the jungle of the assault, and the only verse I can even remember to hang on to is, “Count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus” (Romans 6:11). I repeat it to myself. Over and over. It gives me strength to fight the distress, contempt, and judgment. The enemy seems to be weakening. I have to remember this: the issue …

He Gives Us Our Freedom 2:15

3d ago2:15

2:15

God begins our courtship with a surprise. Taking the blindfold off, he turns us around and reveals his handmade wedding present. “Here,” he says. “It’s yours. Enjoy yourselves. Do you like it? Take it for a spin.” A lavish gift indeed. What’s he up to? Flowers, chocolates, exotic vacations, dinners at the finest restaurants — any person would feel …

It Will Be Messy 2:00

4d ago2:00

2:00

The family is … like a little kingdom, and, like most other little kingdoms, is generally in a state of something resembling anarchy. Chesterton could have been talking about a little fellowship (our true family, because it is the Family of God). It is a royal mess. I will not whitewash this. It is disruptive. Going to church with hundreds of other…

Gratitude and Awe 1:44

5d ago1:44

1:44

We know a time will come for us to look back with our Lord over the story of our lives. Every hidden thing shall be made known, every word spoken in secret shall be uttered. My soul shrinks back; how will this not be an utter horror? The whole idea of judgment has been terribly twisted by our enemy. One evangelistic tract conveys the popular idea t…

How God Restores Human Beings 1:07

6d ago1:07

1:07

We exercise because we want to grow stronger; we take vitamins in the hope of being healthy; we attend language classes expecting to learn a new language. We travel for adventure; we work in the hope of prospering; we love partly in the hope of being loved. So why Christianity? What is the effect Christianity is intended to have upon a person who b…

Living in Narrative 3:39

7d ago3:39

3:39

Life is not a list of propositions, it is a series of dramatic scenes. As Eugene Peterson said, “We live in narrative, we live in story. Existence has a story shape to it. We have a beginning and an end, we have a plot, we have characters.” Story is the language of the heart. Our souls speak not in the naked facts of mathematics or the abstract pro…

When Things Get Hard 0:58

8d ago0:58

0:58

When things get hard, it can feel like the foundations of your life are giving way. It is good to remember that our foundation is firm, based on the finished work of Jesus Christ for us. There are some things that remain true, at all times and for all of God’s children no matter what. It’s good to let your mind and your heart rest in these truths. …

A Passionate Voice Within 2:18

9d ago2:18

2:18

Some years into our spiritual journey, after the waves of anticipation that mark the beginning of any pilgrimage have begun to ebb into life's middle years of service and busyness, a voice speaks to us in the midst of all we are doing. There is something missing in all of this, it suggests. There is something more. The voice often comes in the midd…

The Story of Your Heart 43:38

9d ago43:38

43:38

The true story of every person is not the story we see, the external story, but the journey of their heart. Tragically, we try to ignore or silence our hearts—whether through busyness, work, hobbies, more church duties, or a colorful fantasy life. It never works, because we were made for more, and we know it. Which makes this the perfect moment to …

Show Us How It’s Done 0:58

10d ago0:58

0:58

Paul speaks of different glories — the glory of the sun, as compared to the glory of the moon. There are different humilities as well. You have the humility of setting aside an office — the king takes off his crown to become a pauper in the street. But there is the greater humility of setting aside the power — the Son of God lays down his glory to …

A Gentle Whisper 1:39

11d ago1:39

1:39

When we first think of being in a relationship with God, we probably picture him as somewhat flashy, even as many of us tried to be (at least us guys) when we were dating. He gave Jacob visions of angels descending and ascending to heaven; he parted the Red Sea for Moses and made the sun stand still for a day so the Israelites could win a battle. H…

Evil Judged and Destroyed. Forever. 2:58

12d ago2:58

2:58

Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devo…

A Sacred Romance 1:43

13d ago1:43

1:43

In all of our hearts lies a longing for a Sacred Romance. It will not go away in spite of our efforts over the years to anesthetize or ignore its song, or attach it to a single person or endeavor. It is a Romance couched in mystery and set deeply within us. It cannot be categorized into propositional truths or fully known any more than studying the…

God's Presence Within Us 2:47

14d ago2:47

2:47

We are looking to find the presence of God in our inmost being, to experience him and commune with him there. By tapping into his actual presence within us, we are able to receive the strength that prevails. It begins with simply giving him your attention. As Theophan the Recluse instructed, “One must descend with the mind into the heart, and there…

It's All For You 2:40

15d ago2:40

2:40

Start with something you love. The laughter of your child. Sunlight on the ocean. Your beloved dog. A favorite song, music itself. Perhaps a photo, like my caribou. A favorite spot — your garden, the cliffs at the sea, the family cabin. Someone dear to you. We begin with the things we love; this is the way back, the path home. For we don’t always d…

How Have You Learned the Father? 2:19

16d ago2:19

2:19

Today’s Daily Reading is an excerpt from Morgan Snyder's book “Becoming a King” George MacDonald posed this question in his brilliant book Unspoken Sermons: “How have you learned the Father?” If we were to be honest and dive into our own inner world (and that of most men), we would discover that the story of fatherlessness is not the exception but …

A Birth Announcement 1:01:35

John and Stasi are joined by Morgan and Cherie for a big announcement—the upcoming birth of a new ministry. It takes courage to say yes and follow wherever God leads. In today's podcast, Morgan and Cherie talk about the process of being open to God's calling—from their decades with Wild at Heart to the exciting adventure that's next. It's a tender,…

Love is Central 2:04

17d ago2:04

2:04

This is, after all, a love story. Why else would love be the deepest yearning of our hearts? Isn’t love the greatest joy of human existence? And the loss of love our greatest sorrow? Do not the two great commands confirm this? “Love the Lord your God with all your heart ... and your neighbor as yourself” (Luke 10:27). Love, for this is your destiny…

Ready? 1:32

18d ago1:32

1:32

A curious warning is given to us in Peter's first epistle. There he tells us to be ready to give the reason for the hope that lies within us to everyone who asks (3:15). Now, what's strange about that passage is this: no one ever asks. When was the last time someone stopped you to inquire about the reason for the hope that lies within you? You're a…

Staying True to God 1:29

19d ago1:29

1:29

The mighty victory is staying true to God. It is maintaining a mature perspective — where God means everything to you — through glorious breakthrough and in the midst of terrible affliction. If you do not hold fast to this, you will be shaken when your prayers do not seem to prevail; you will fall prey to feelings of failure or despair. Or, you wil…

Lover? Or Consumer? 2:17

20d ago2:17

2:17

The awakening of his heart is essential if a man would truly love a woman. Look at things from her point of view. What does she long for in a man? Every little girl dreams of the day her prince will come. Look at the movies women love — the hero is a romancer. He pursues her, wins her heart, takes her into a great adventure and love story. And noti…

Fitting Beautifully Together 3:16

21d ago3:16

3:16

Every man wants a battle to fight. It's the whole thing with boys and weapons. And look at the movies men love — Braveheart, Gladiator, Top Gun, High Noon, Saving Private Ryan. Men are made for battle. (And ladies, don't you love the heroes of those movies? You might not want to fight in a war, but don't you long for a man who will fight for you? T…

Life at Last 2:46

22d ago2:46

2:46

Life is the offer, friends. Let us not forget that. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16) The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (John 10:10) This is the way to have eter…

Deep and Lasting Change 3:05

23d ago3:05

3:05

You do know what God is after in your own life, don’t you? Maybe that’s why we stay so busy — to avoid knowing, so we can avoid dealing with it. And you do know that the “quick fix” doesn’t ever work. Simply telling myself, “You are too busy, John. You’ve got to slow down,” is about as effective as telling an addict to quit. (Has it worked for you?…

Waves of Betrayal: An Interview with Sam Ainslie 49:12

23d ago49:12

49:12

Incredibly successful in the eyes of the world's elite, Sam was good at keeping up appearances. But he had more lifestyle than life. Internally, he was afraid to trust others due to a series of immense betrayals. In this intimate conversation with John and Allen, this quiet man from the Big Island of Hawaii puts language to his journey from depress…

Ezer Kenegdo 2:18

24d ago2:18

2:18

Eve is given to Adam as his ezer kenegdo — or as many translations have it, his "help meet" or "helper." Doesn't sound like much, does it? It makes me think of Hamburger Helper. But Robert Alter says this is "a notoriously difficult word to translate." It means something far more powerful than just "helper"; it means "lifesaver." The phrase is only…

Cooperating with the Process 2:06

25d ago2:06

2:06

We’ve lived in Colorado now for more than twenty years, but I’ve never really learned to snowboard. I mean, I’ve tried. But it was always a messy, hazardous, hesitant affair. Like a dog on roller skates. There wasn’t a lot of joy in it for me. I was tense, apprehensive. My basic problem was this: I couldn’t get myself to commit, to lean into it. Yo…

The Temple of Your Heart 4:57

26d ago4:57

4:57

Have we forgotten that God relocated the temple? In a stunning shift of geography, God changed the playing field. He moved the temple from a physical building to the hearts of his people: Don’t you know you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? (1 Corinthians 3:16) God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that …

The story of Cinderella turns upon an invitation. Up until the moment that the courier from the palace arrives at her door, Cinderella’s life seems set in stone. She will always be a washerwoman, a cellar girl. Her enemies will forever have the upper hand. She will live a life of enduring disappointments, though she will suffer them nobly. No other…

I Will Go Before You 2:11

28d ago2:11

2:11

I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name. (Isa. 45:2-3) God's imagery of going before us lets us know that he desires…

Knowing Your Moment 4:16

29d ago4:16

4:16

Of course we are nearing the end of the age. Jesus seemed pretty frustrated at his contemporaries’ refusal to understand their times. “Fools,” he called them. Because knowing your moment matters. Knowing where you are in the story is critical for your survival. Every moment is not like another. Living at the beginning of the Lord of the Rings is di…

Awakening of Our Hearts 1:23

30d ago1:23

1:23

We must open our hearts to all the other ways God is bringing beauty into our lives. The beauty of a flower garden or moonlight on water, the beauty of music or a written word. Our souls crave Beauty, and if we do not find it we will be famished. We must take in Beauty, often, or we will be taken out by beauty. Learning to be loved, and learning to…

Leo is a successful basketball coach from Texas, but growing up, he grappled with one unanswered question: "Why did my dad leave me?" His father was a famous heavyweight prizefighter but had no idea how to fight for his son's heart. Leo joins John and Allen to talk about the long road to healing—including a devastating sports injury, facing the lon…

Journey or Homestead? 1:53

Every great story involves a quest. In J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins ran from the door at a quarter till eleven without even so much as a pocket handkerchief and launched on an adventure that would change his life forever. Alice stepped through the looking glass into Wonderland; Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter stumbled through the war…

The Great Falling Away 4:45

1M ago4:45

4:45

Giving up has always been a struggle for frail humanity. But when Jesus urges us to ask for strength to escape, he has something particular in mind, something he sees coming: “At that time many will turn away from the faith” (Matthew 24:10). Saint Paul was deeply troubled by this as he wrote his friends living in Thessalonica: “Let no one deceive y…

The Essence of Healing 1:40

As we explore the many beautiful and intimate ways Jesus comes to heal our inner being, keep in mind that whatever the damage may be, in any realm of your inner being, the essence of healing prayer is always to facilitate the presence of Jesus into the specific places of damage. Whatever else might be involved, it always begins with, “Jesus, come i…

What God Sees in You 2:00

1M ago2:00

Your sin has been dealt with. Your Father has removed it from you "as far as the east is from the west" (Ps. 103:12). Your sins have been washed away (1 Cor. 6:11). When God looks at you he does not see your sin. He has not one condemning thought toward you (Rom. 8:1). But that's not all. You have a new heart. That's the promise of the new covenant…

Breaking the Stronghold 1:03

1M ago1:03

1:03

The Ephesians passage warns about spiritual strongholds created in our lives when we let “the sun go down” on something. Note that in this case that something isn’t necessarily sin. Paul says, “in your anger do not sin,” so anger does not equal sin. Anger can be a very appropriate reaction to life’s injustices. Nonetheless, failure to deal with tha…

First Things First 1:35

1M ago1:35

Doing things for God is not the same thing as loving God. Jesus loves the poor — so, movements have arisen that make service to the poor the main thing. Even though Jesus never said that being poor was more noble or even spiritual. The latest craze is justice — so we rush off to the corners of the globe to fight for justice and leave Jesus behind. …

Giving God Your Attention 2:39

Down through the ages, followers of Christ have believed that to be able to give God our attention as a regular practice was a very important thing. After vividly recounting the many challenges of faith and character before us, the author of Hebrews says, Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping [fixing] our e…

Early in his marriage, Pablo made a choice that caused him to lose the most important person in his life—his wife, Juanita. But God wasn't finished with his story or their marriage. John and Allen talk with Pablo and Juanita about their rough childhood years in Colombia, what blew up their marriage, and the miraculous redemption that followed as Pa…

Love Is Chosen 2:50

1M ago2:50

2:50

Any parent or lover knows this: love is chosen. You cannot, in the end, force anyone to love you. So if you are writing a story where love is the meaning, where love is the highest and best of all, where love is the point, then you have to allow each person a choice. You have to allow freedom. You cannot force love. God gives us the dignity of free…

Our Longing for Love 2:07

1M ago2:07

I know I’m not alone in having a hard time believing in the love of God for me (we think he loves everyone else), or receiving the love of God, or letting it catch my heart up into life and joy, or, maybe especially, staying there for any reasonable period of time. An hour or two would be amazing. A day would be a triumph. And I’m thinking that may…

An Invasion 1:03

1M ago1:03

1:03

What we call “Christianity” is an invasion. The Kingdom of God is advancing into the kingdom of darkness, a campaign to ransom people and the earth God intended us to rule. For the Son of Man came to seek and save what was lost. All that was lost. If Christianity seems to you to be having rather less than a remarkable impact on the earth, it is bec…

Let Hope Rise 2:32

Our hope is meant to be the anchor of our souls, to keep us steady in the middle of the storms of life. It is set firmly within the truth that Jesus is trustworthy. He has promised us that He is returning and that, when He does, He will make all things right, all things well, and all things new. He will bring us home, to the true home our hearts lo…

Earth's Healing 2:29

God heals the earth, and he heals us. We are restored to one another. The earth waits for our healing, and we wait for the earth’s healing. I believe our healing brings about something of the healing of the earth, and I’m certain the healed earth helps to usher in our healing. Our Enemy is the Great Divider. His most poisonous work takes place at t…

The book “Killing Lions” is a conversation between John and Sam Eldredge about the trials young men face.
