E867 | Lies That Sabotage Our Lives - with Jennie Allen

Mar 16th, 2026 6:00 AM

Many of us have been living inside a lie so long it feels like the truth. It has quietly shaped our identity, our relationships, and even how we see God. But there is a way to be free. Jennie Allen—bestselling author, speaker, and founder and visionary of IF:Gathering—joins John to share her passion for God and heart for the lost, the growing worldwide revival among young adults, and how her new book, The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe, reveals the three core lies everyone believes—so you can name the one running your life and dismantle it with the spiritual authority you already have in Christ.Show Notes: You can find out more about IF:Gathering at ifgathering.com.

E866 | Your Questions Answered

Mar 9th, 2026 6:00 AM

Several times a year, John and Allen reserve the podcast to answer as many viewer questions as possible. It’s important we learn how to partner with Jesus in every aspect of life—including our biggest questions. This week’s topics address how to navigate life with ADHD, whether God wants us to dream about our future in what feels like the end times, what is meant by the term “unholy trinity,” the challenge young adults have when parents or older authority figures dismiss their insights, and what repentance looks like, both personally and collectively.Show Notes: Discover the Wild at Heart guided prayers in our app or on our website.

E865 | Wild at Heart Stories - T.J. Greaney & Kids Outdoor Zone

Mar 2nd, 2026 7:00 AM

Over 40 percent of the boys in this country don’t have a dad at home. The result has been a dramatic increase in drug use and school drop-out—with some kids averaging up to 70 hours a week in front of a screen yet only 40 minutes outside. Countering that trend is Kids Outdoor Zone (KOZ), an outdoor ministry for boys that trains and equips men to mentor boys through outdoor adventure. In this episode, John talks with KOZ founder and Wild at Heart ally T.J. Greaney about his difficult boyhood, his deep love of nature and adventure, and the inspiring origin and growth of Kids Outdoor Zone.Show Notes: For details on how to start an outdoor ministry for boys at your church, visit KidsOutdoorZone.com.

The book referenced in the podcast is Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder by Richard Louv.

E864 | Grounded - Part 2

Feb 23rd, 2026 7:00 AM

It’s incredibly orienting to discover that when we say “yes” to Jesus, we are now part of a great campaign—one that’s already in motion—to help overthrow evil, restore the human heart, and fix God’s universe. This wildly beautiful invitation, however, isn’t secondary. It takes priority over our personal plans and priorities. As this series concludes, John, Blaine, and Allen reveal practices for staying grounded in the larger story, ways that God is at work in the world today, and how the unseen realm dramatically impacts our lives. Keywords: Christian, Podcast, Grounding, Spiritual Warfare_______________________________________________There is more.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?
