New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge reveals the path of the "ordinary mystic," and invites readers into the refuge of experiencing deep, lasting, real communion with Jesus. In this present age we are all becoming disciples of the Internet. We are addicted to distraction. We idolize our instant access to a never-ending avalanche of information. We think we're finally holding the keys to a better life. But if that's true, why are we wrestling with ever-increasing levels of anxiety, dissatisfaction, and despair? The fact is, we live in a world of weary, skeptical pragmatism--and it's keeping us from experiencing the God we are dying without. John Eldredge presents a powerful alternative to the soulless, disenchanted world we find ourselves living in today: the path of the ordinary mystic.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Tim Dornseif join us in the studio! This moment feels especially meaningful, almost full circle, as just a year ago, Tim listened to a testimony on this very podcast that radically changed his life. You'll have to tune in to hear how God used that story to begin a powerful transformation in his heart. Tim shares his journey with honesty and vulnerability. Raised in Indiana, his family occasionally attended a Lutheran church. He grew up with his mom and stepdad, not meeting his biological father until he was 25. The absence of a strong, present father figure left a deep wound, one that would later surface in painful and self-destructive ways. In his late teens, Tim had a sweet “meet-cute” with his now wife, Tay, while they were both working at Kroger—he in the meat department, she in the bakery. Though painfully shy, a coworker helped make the introduction, and sparks quickly flew. Not long after, they were married, expecting their first son, and relocating to Arizona. Tim began nursing school, and though life was moving forward, the mounting pressure brought old struggles back to the surface. One of those struggles was with pornography, a battle that lingered for years. Though Tim made efforts to be open with Tay and others, he often felt trapped and burdened by secrecy, convinced he couldn't be fully known or accepted. After experiencing deep hurt at a church they had attended for six years, Tim and Tay found themselves at Desert Springs. There, Tim met Bradley Chaddick (his story is linked below) during a VBS event, and that connection became a turning point. For the first time, faith felt real. He no longer felt imprisoned by his sin but instead empowered to take steps toward healing. Through this new season, Tim encountered the Father's love and grace in a way he never had before. Today, he walks in true community with God, with his wife, and with other men, experiencing a freedom and restoration that only Christ can bring.Bradley Chaddick's testimony, Episode 120Kyle Moore's testimony, Episode 123Tuesday night Men's Connect Group at Desert SpringsFathered by God by John Eldredge"Holy Heat" with Seth Tramp + Tim DornseifIf you find yourself struggling with a sexual addiction you are not alone.

You'll discover the path back to healing, peace, and joy—through union with Christ.

We live in a world that has become disciples of the internet. We're addicted to distraction, consumed by endless notifications, and we idolize our instant access to a never-ending avalanche of information. But if all this connectivity is supposed to make life better, why are we more anxious, dissatisfied, and weary than ever? New York Times bestselling author and counselor John Eldredge joins me today to offer a way out of the digital overwhelm.  He introduces a path to experiencing real, deep communion with Jesus by making room for Him daily. Together, John and I will unpack why our souls are starved for intimacy with God, how to disconnect and break free from distraction, and simple practices to restore our childlike faith and wonder. Plus, be sure to listen to the very end because I'm sharing a beautiful song from Michael O'Brien that features a Scripture reading by Alistair Begg. It's the perfect way to seal this life-giving message. SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/347  Read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.

In today's episode—Part 2 of Dreaming with God—Stasi reminds us of the three core desires we as women share: the longing to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role, and to unveil beauty. These desires reflect God's own heart. Desires are clues to the dreams God has planted in our hearts, and though we share core desires, there are many that are particular to us as well. Though wounds may dim them, Jesus can restore them. Jesus is inviting you to dream with him again and step into your unique, irreplaceable role in his story. Join Stasi as she shares the truth that we are seen, pursued, and free to embrace the desires of our hearts through dreaming with God again.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Proverbs 4:23 (NIV) – Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.Isaiah 61:1  (NIV) – The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) – For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.1 Corinthians 12:12-26 (NIV) – (here, v12–14) Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.Psalm 27:4 (NIV) – One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.…..RESOURCESCaptivated E92 | Dreaming with God: Becoming Who You're Meant to Be – Part 1  ⁠https://wahe.art/41FY4BF⁠The Journey of Desire by John Eldredge – ⁠https://wahe.art/46qgloe⁠Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul by John and Stasi Eldredge ⁠https://wahe.art/3L9tLMc⁠The Ablaze Study: Setting our Hearts on Fire For Jesus – sessions available at ⁠https://wildatheart.org/ablaze⁠…..Don't Miss Out on the Next Episode – Subscribe for FreeSubscribe using your favorite podcast app:YouTube: ⁠https://wahe.art/4jFlAXu⁠Spotify Podcasts – ⁠https://spoti.fi/42SsOip⁠Apple Podcasts – ⁠https://apple.co/42E0oZ1⁠ Google Podcasts – ⁠http://wahe.art/3M81kxL⁠Amazon Music & Audible – ⁠https://amzn.to/3M9u6hJ⁠

We have an incredible guest for episode 130, author John Eldredge. John wrote Wild at Heart which gave Jennifer the courage to follow her husband to Mexico. His Pause App has been a huge part of teaching us to slow down, listen and learn to commune with Jesus in the deep intimacy that we are created to live in. Over the years of homeschooling, growing as individuals, and a family, we have been so blessed by John's work. We hope that this episode blesses you, gives you the courage to remove distractions from your life so you can press into the quiet place and encounter Christ's healing and his comfort. We pray that you are inspired to seek greater rest, and enjoy more intimacy, and build the habits to make Christ your first port of call in the daily stress, anxiety and fear that so often overwhelms us as mom's in the grind and travails of daily life.  Episode sponsored by the Peaceful Press!

What does it really mean to be a man—and why are so many of us afraid to find out?In this powerful episode, Jon & Will sit down with John Eldredge, author of Wild at Heart, to explore the core desires and wounds that shape every man's life. From the boyhood questions “Do you love me?” and “Do I have what it takes?” to the deep need for adventure, battle, mission, and love—John reveals how these longings define our masculine identity. We discuss how unaddressed childhood wounds and false selves hold men back, and how embracing vulnerability, purpose, and connection can lead to a more authentic and fulfilling life.

The overall theme of his journey is that anything can be redeemed.Support Shema through Kickstarter here through April 3rd.More about ShemaShema trailerFor more information on Shema, visit refocuscreative.com/shemaMore ways to follow: Shema socials (IG, TikTok)Black & White Reviews: Spotify, AppleAbout LeeI'm a father, a son, a worshipper, musician and a podcaster. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not..God changed my life 10 years ago and is continuing to transform my, and my family's, heart. My love for film and music has been a great way to strike up conversations with non-believers and to express a new perspective of how God can speak to us through entertainment mediums that may not have been intentional by the creators.

When you set aside your programmed pragmatism and rediscover wonder, life with Jesus takes on a whole new depth. In this episode, John Eldredge shares how technology and the internet constantly fight for your attention and how you can push back by embracing ordinary, mystical moments to connect with God. You'll also hear why prayer, lingering, and turning your heart toward God are essential for your Christian walk.    Key Takeaway   The hyper-rational, left-brain approach to life isn't good for your soul. You were designed to experience beauty, wonder, and connection with God.  There's a battle for your attention and affection, and the world is constantly trying to pull your union with God apart. Turning your heart toward God often comes before intellectual understanding. Learning to linger in God's presence is essential for healing, connection, and repairing your soul in a world programmed for distraction.   John Eldredge   John Eldredge is an author, counselor, teacher, and the president of Wild at Heart. He and his wife, Stasi, have three sons and are proud grandparents. John loves all things beauty, nature, adventure, and more.    Key Quotes   10:35 - " Psalm 91, he who dwells in the shelter of the most high will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. And I think that idea of rest, let your anxiety come down, let the cortisol come down, let the fight or flightcome down a little bit. I think this is a brilliant gospel moment to be able to show people, you know what, you can actually be safe in the love of God, you can actually feel safe in His care and in His protection. If we can get people, back to your thing, if we can get the wonder back. If you can get the cynical adult pragmatism to just put the gun down for a minute and just go, you know what, you can actually take refuge in the presence of God. You will find it to be that lovely fort experience of, I feel good." 38:54 - "You sit with another human being and look eye to eye and listen to one another, it literally heals the human brain. It is a healing experience to your physiology to listen with compassion and to be listened to with compassion. That's just basic human connection."   Links from Today's Conversation   Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome Apply to join the next DadAwesome Accelerator Cohort: Email awesome@dadawesome.org   Subscribe to DadAwesome Messages: Text the word “Dad” to (651) 370-8618 Experience Jesus.

As we continue our series on “The People Who Shape Us,” John Eldredge joins us. He is someone who has shaped how we pray and ultimately how we relate with Jesus ourselves. He's been a mentor and spiritual father to many, and has significantly shaped how we lead even our children to experience Jesus for themselves. In the beautiful, kind words of a spiritual father, John shares stories about how he healed while raising his own kids, and what that healing did for how he started to relate to and experience the love of Abba in his own life. He also describes his own spiritual journey as having walked through what he calls “wardrobe doors,” a nod to C.S. Lewis' pathway into Narnia.  He also shares how to find the people who can shape you in your pursuit and experience of Jesus. The key question John leaves us with is: “What has worked for you?”  Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction to John Eldredge and how he's shaped us6:30 The beginning of John's story to knowing Jesus7:34 The first wardrobe door11:47 John's journey to healing and leading his family at same time16:26 The second wardrobe door23:23 The antidote to “rallying” and “living spent”28:06 The fight for the human soul33:02 The third wardrobe door37:37 The beautiful ways Jesus transforms us and the ways we self-protect57:12 How to find the people who can shape you Show Notes:  Get a copy of John's new book Experience Jesus.

Out of the millions of men I've worked with over the last 10 years, I've heard everything from a deep disdain and animosity towards God and Jesus to a rich and abiding love for His word. For me, I fall somewhere in the middle as I wrestle with my own relationship with Him and towards my faith and spirituality. And, that's the reason I really wanted to talk with a huge influence in my life, John Eldredge. Today, John and I cover what faith and spirituality really look like, how the distraction era has hampered our ability to draw close to Christ, whether or not Church is necessary on the path of spirituality, why finding truth is challenging but worth the struggle, how the “Doctrine of Popular Culture” gets it all wrong and how, maybe for the first time ever, you can experience Jesus.

In such a disconnected and discontent world where anxiety swarms us, things fight for our attention, and real help is needed in the craziest of season, Jesus is the real answer, and is healing and intervention is a real possibility!

What happens to our relationship with God in the midst of suffering? How do we stay connected to Jesus when we are walking through pain?Author John Eldredge has been guiding people through practices that can help keep us in union with Christ, especially when the pain of life threatens to erode our connection. He has seen the ways in which the enemy will attempt to break our spirit and discourage us and how Christ longs to bring hope and healing to our souls. He has taken these lessons from his own life, throughout his counseling career and ministry, and what he sees now as a spiritual father to many and has written a book called Experience Jesus. Really: Finding Refuge, Strength, and Wonder through Everyday Encounters with God. In it, he shares habits and spiritual practices that will offer readers the refuge of experiencing deep, lasting, real communion with Jesus. In this insightful episode, Davey and John talk about how we can begin to let go the weight of our cares and entrust them to God, the ways in which our agreements with the lies of the enemy can prolong our suffering, and why we need daily reminders of truth as we heal. If you struggle to stay connected to Jesus in times of pain and heartache, this conversation will teach you ways that you can reconnect with the one who wants to bring you hope and healing.

Are we too left-brained for our own good? In one of the most powerful conversations ever on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, John Eldredge unpacks how modern life has stripped us of mystery, beauty, and true refuge. We are being discipled—not by faith, but by the internet—trained to expect instant answers while losing our ability to linger, wonder, and believe. Eldredge shares how our screens shape our souls, why beauty is an essential balm for the weary, and the surprising reason why children instinctively build forts. This episode is an invitation to step away from the digital chaos and rediscover what truly restores. ** Get your copy of Experience Jesus Really here Learn more about John and what he has to offer here ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.
