Survival School - Orientation

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 depression and isolation into a genuine community of love and trust. His story is featured in the final episode of Wild at Heart: The Series.View the trailer to Sam's episode here. Watch Episode 4 (Sam's Story) of Wild at Heart: The Series here.

This month, we launch the biggest initiative in our ministry's history. Inspired by John's bestselling book of the same name, Wild at Heart: The Series is a film series featuring the stories of four broken men becoming really good men. To kick it off, John and Allen bring Daniel, the Director of the series, into the studio to talk about the amazing way God brought this dream to life. They also showcase the series prologue—the story of John growing up in an alcoholic home, his own inner battles, and the path of healing that became a roadmap for millions of men around the world.Watch the trailer to Wild at Heart: The Series here.

We long for more healing but often don't know how to pursue it in a focused, intentional manner. In this week's podcast, John is joined by Sam Eldredge, Stacia Littlefield, and Stacey Burton to discuss wholeheartedness and well-being. As Sam says, "Our wounds come through relationships, so our healing will also come through relationships." He created Noble Workshops as a safe space where those who feel stuck or need care for a wound in their story can go deeper in their healing through a unique process that combines experiential therapy with a holistic view of each person.

In 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://blaineeldredge.substack.com/2) Find more about the Rule of Life Workbook here.3) The Prayer of Descent document is available here._______________________________________________There is more.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

In 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. To remain strong and rooted in the face of growing chaos, we must retrain our souls to see, above all else, how God's activity saturates the various parts of our lives and world events—and how this understanding of reenchantment reveals the return of a meaningful universe.Show Notes: 1) Follow Blaine's writings on Substack at https://blaineeldredge.substack.com/ 2) The ocean photograph, featured in a Patagonia article, is by David Doubilet 3) Songs for a worship playlist include:- City of God by Steffany Gretzinger, kalley - The Narrow Way by Steffany Gretzinger - Holy by Steffany Gretzinger- His Name is Jesus (Live) by Jeremy Riddle- Vision of Your Love - by Mission House, Jess Ray, Taylor Leonhardt- Poor In Spirit (Live) by Eliza King, Brett ShawClick Here for Spotify Playlist4) Read the unedited chapter of John's upcoming book (Experience Jesus.

This moment in time isn't unprecedented, but it is unique. 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 control and self-preservation.Show Notes: 1) Follow Blaine's writings on Substack at ⁠https://blaineeldredge.substack.com/⁠2) Listen to the song Hymn of the Holy Spirit by Pat Barrett here. ⁠Spotify⁠ or ⁠YouTube⁠3) Read an advance (unedited) chapter of John's upcoming book ⁠(Experience Jesus.
