E842 | What Is God Up To in Your Life? - Part 1

Sep 22nd, 2025 6:00 AM

This three-part series kicks off with John and Blaine Eldredge talking about the lost art of noticing what God is up to in our lives—not just today but over time. While clarity is essential, the ultimate goal is to come into alignment with what God is doing. How do we do that? In Part 1, John and Blaine lay a solid foundation by revealing three specific suppositions for discerning God’s work in our lives so we can join him there.Show Notes: The books referenced are The Horse and His Boy by C. S. Lewis, Now and Then by Frederick Buechner, and The Inner Chamber and the Inner Life by Andrew Murray. The “3 Presuppositions for Discerning God’s Work in Your Life” are: 1) God is speaking to all people at all times.2) Most people don’t learn to discern God’s work in isolation.3) God is interested in intimacy—and that means conversation, not observation._______________________________________________There is more.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

E839 | Having Difficult Conversations - Part 2

Sep 1st, 2025 6:00 AM

What do you do when someone you care about has a major blind spot that's self-destructive or hurtful to you and others? In the second half of this series, the team makes it practical as John asks Stasi, Allen, and Stacey how they'd react to several "what if" scenarios. Their responses may surprise you. Hard conversations aren't easy, but they also aren't to be feared—once you ask God if and when to engage, what to say, and how to say it.Show Notes: You can sign up for Wild at Heart's Friday video emails at https://wildatheart.org/media/johns-weekly-video-update/. The verse John references is John 12:49 (NLT): "I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it."_______________________________________________There is more.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

E838 | Having Difficult Conversations - Part 1

Aug 25th, 2025 6:00 AM

What does mature love look like when it comes to having hard conversation? We can't just say what we see. Nor can we ignore someone's blind spot (or our own) indefinitely. John, Stasi, Allen, and Stacey share how they tend to handle difficult conversations on a spectrum of avoidance to delay to immediate confrontation. Loving well in these situations isn't simple or easy...but it is possible.Show Note: Sign up for Wild at Heart's Friday video emails at https://wildatheart.org/media/johns-weekly-video-update/_______________________________________________There is more.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?
