The Story You're Telling Yourself Dec 09, 2024

Show notes

Story is how we make sense of life, but when the narrative is shaped by loss, loneliness, or disappointment, it can keep us stuck in an echo chamber of old assumptions. As we begin the holiday season, John and Allen ask what story we're telling ourselves about this Christmas before it even happens. Jesus stands ready to reframe our narrative if we'll choose to embrace the story he's telling for us—and with us.

Less-Wild Lovers Dec 02, 2024

This three-part series concludes with John and Allen talking about the lure of "less-wild lovers" and how they seek to seduce us through false promises of comfort, control, and safety.

There's Got To Be More Nov 25, 2024

Show notes

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 before time began. Like a lost message from Eden, it reveals a story big enough to satisfy your yearning for intimacy, beauty, and adventure in this world of danger, risk, and chaos.

The Story of Your Heart Nov 18, 2024

Show notes

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 relaunch John Eldredge and Brent Curtis' book, The Sacred Romance. In the first of this three-part series, discover the origin story of this breathtaking message and hear John read the first chapter from the updated edition of this transformative book.

Waves of Betrayal: An Interview with Sam Ainslie Nov 04, 2024
