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...2025-01-1356 minWild at HeartWild at HeartHow Is God Calling Us to Mature?We're in an extremely momentous and highly unstable time where civilization seems to be on the brink of a massive freefall. To make sense of it, we must accept Jesus' view of reality over all other voices. John, Blaine, and Allen begin this timely series by naming three major trends that are creating the perfect storm. Maturity is no longer an option if we want to partner with God in the larger story that he is telling.Show Notes: Follow Blaine's writings at https://blaineeldredge.substack.com._______________________________________________There is more.2025-01-0651 minCaptivatedCaptivatedRadical Discipleship: Encounter and EmbodimentIn the final episode of our Radical Discipleship series, we explore the transformative practice of encountering and embodying the Trinity. Stasi shares how intimately knowing God—through creation, our senses, and stillness—allows us to rest in His goodness and be saturated by His love. This awareness leads to trust, worship, and ultimately embodying Christ. Through the Holy Spirit, we are invited to be filled with Jesus and live out His love. Stasi closes with a powerful time of prayer to help us encounter our King. Friends, we hope this series has inspired you to discover the many ways we c...2024-10-0233 minDaily Readings by Wild at HeartDaily Readings by Wild at HeartHonor WoundsYou will be wounded. Just because this battle is spiritual doesn't mean it's not real; it is, and the wounds a man can take are in some ways more ugly than those that come in a firefight. To lose a leg is nothing compared to losing heart; to be crippled by shrapnel need not destroy your soul, but to be crippled by shame and guilt may. You will be wounded by the Enemy. He knows the wounds of your past, and he will try to wound you again in the same place. But these wounds are different; these are...2024-09-2602 minWild at HeartWild at HeartThe Trend of Deep DiscipleshipIn the series conclusion, John, Blaine, and Allen offer stories and insights on how God strengthens his people in times of crisis. One key trend is the growth in deep discipleship. Rather than try to fit a little bit of God into our busy schedules, we must take our life with Jesus seriously by seeking his Kingdom first—and then seeing what else there is room for. That's the only way to remain strong, love well, and stay in union with God as this world grows more chaotic.Show Notes:1) Follow Blaine's Substack writings at https://bl...2024-09-1648 minWild at HeartWild at HeartReturn of a Meaningful UniverseIn Part 3 of our series, John, Blaine, and Allen bring two streams together: 1) how followers of Jesus handle crisis, and 2) observable, accelerating trends of God.

In Part 2 of this series, John, Blaine, and Allen look at how the followers of Jesus responded to crises over the ages. It's a needed reminder because the pace of life and technology have left us weakened and weary rather than ready for whatever's coming next. Rather than grow more disenchanted, discover how Christianity provides a way to view the reenchantment of the world. With Jesus, we can experience calm, unshakable hope in the face of growing chaos—but only by wholeheartedly focusing on God and his purposes over co...2024-09-0250 minWild at HeartWild at HeartWhen Am I Not Okay?In this new four-part series, Blaine Eldredge joins John and Allen to talk about how moments of crisis reveal who we are—as well as our priorities.
