Wild at HeartThe Outbreak of the SpiritualFrom YouTube to anime to technology, the spiritual is increasingly breaking into our world. While this may seem like a good thing, it's a mixed bag. The unseen realm is filled with both good and evil, and the forces of darkness often present themselves as angels of light. Believers are ill-equipped to navigate this world as long as they engage it with more fascination than maturity in Christ. In Part 2 of the series, John, Blaine, and Allen discuss how to see what's really going on, get free from spiritual oppression, and embrace what God's up to in these unprecedented...

2020-09-0740 minAnd Sons160 | Wendell Moss: Race, Trauma, and MasculinityA few reminders.
The gospel transcends every human identity and tells you a few important things about the world. Like, the fact that the human heart is fallen. It’s the original problem. It is the well from which all injustice and violence pours. And there’s Satan, God’s sworn enemy, who stokes human sin. But, thanks to the work of Jesus, we have a new heart. We have power over Satan and his kingdom. We offer the restoration of all things in real time into the world.
This conversation between therapist Wendell Moss and Sam Eldredge is an onramp...

2020-04-2142 minAnd Sons152 | Celebration Is EssentialThe celebration of key events happens regularly in childhood. But then we get older and they stop. We hit a milestone dead zone where important things go unacknowledged - whether the start of a job, the birth of a child, or the loss of a dream. In fact, right now, COVID-19 has caused a full-on celebration moratorium. And the cost is real. Without celebrations, we quit trying. We feel unseen or alone as new chapters come and go with no recognition. Luke Eldredge joins Sam and Blaine for this conversation on the appeal of rituals and need for shared experiences.

2020-03-0237 minBecoming Men018 | Initiation & The Young Man's Soul w/ Blaine and Sam Eldredge"Like most of the young men I know, I want to be self-sufficient. I want to struggle for my own direction and step out in pursuit of my dreams. I want to know it all and never ask for help. This is how most of the guys I know approach young manhood— on their own, never asking for help, wandering through these years, and pretending they are doing better than they really are" (Killing Lions).
If any of that resonates with any of you then you have to tune in to this week's episode. wh...

Whether you are a mother, had a great mother of your own, or missed everything that was intended, there is mercy for you.
