Podcasts about ransomed heart

John Eldredge is an author, counselor, and speaker best known for his book Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man's Soul, which explores biblical masculinity and the deep desires of a man's heart. Born in 1960, Eldredge has dedicated much of his work to spiritual formation, healing, and calling men and women to a more intimate relationship with God. He is the founder of Wild at Heart Ministries (formerly Ransomed Heart), which offers resources, retreats, and teachings on the restoration of the soul. His writing blends storytelling, theology, and personal experience, often drawing from literature, adventure, and nature to illustrate spiritual truths.  

Many are familiar with Wild at Heart but few know how the ministry, originally named Ransomed Heart, came to be. It's a story of countless miracles from God, intense spiritual warfare, and amazing breakthroughs. In the first half of the series, John and Stasi share about the early, hard days of their marriage, their shared desire for a ministry of the heart, the initial plans to build a retreat center, how The Sacred Romance was almost never written, the unfathomable tragedy at the first men's event, the beautiful, messy start to the women's gatherings, and other significant milestones from the beginning chapters of the Wild at Heart story._______________________________________________There is more.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

So embrace a grateful mindset and heartset, focusing on what you have. Experience the mysterious magnetism that increasingly attracts what is good and aligns with God's purpose in your life. To whom or what are we grateful? Can we be abstract or vague about gratitude? I believe that as we are first grateful to our Creator, then we condition and position ourselves to be authentically grateful to others … in whatever context we relate to them: family, friendship, business/work, our place in the larger world, and so on. Gratitude is like PRIMING a PUMP. Surprisingly, as we decide to be thankful, it releases a spring of gratitude, a flow of thankfulness.

In this episode I wanted to talk about contemplative prayer and how that equates to mindfulness in Christ. Contemplative prayer is an ancient practice from our church forefathers. Contemplative prayer and being mindful in Christ in prayer has changed my life drastically. I want you to know that it is a safe practice that will absolutely change your life and your relationship with God. The One Minute Pause app by Ransomed Heart is a super good starting point for Christian meditation. You can also look up Spindle City Vineyard on Facebook and listen to the live contemplative prayer sessions lead by me. Don't forget to join my Facebook group called Contemplation And Disability. I really want to create a safe community.

When you think of becoming a king what comes to your mind? For most it's likely going to be a slightly different perspective than what nationally acclaimed writer Morgan Snyder has put forth in his new book, "Becoming a King". The EYFPodcast had the opportunity to sit down with Morgan this week and in doing so we dived right into the idea of restoring what God has given us to do. We learned that we all have a "kingdom" that God has put us in charge of and we explored the relationship of father to son and what it means to have a heavenly Father. This is a time to savor so find a quiet place and sit back and enjoy listening. You'll walk away a better son, and daughter of the Most High.Morgan can be found at www.becomegoodsoil.com and you can purchase his book at www.becomingaking.com. Morgan is partners with John Eldredge at Ransomed Heart ministries and we at EYF highly recommend you join forces with Ransomed Heart as part of their subscription services.

Everyone's lives have been changed because of COVID-19. Almost overnight we experienced a huge amount of change all at once that has been traumatizing for many people.  This is a very timely episode and we really encourage you to sit with this one, slow down and really take it in.  On today's episode, Alan sits down with author, teacher, counselor, and president of Ransomed Heart, John Eldredge.  This is a very real and raw conversation about John's book Get Your Life Back: Everyday Practices for a World Gone Mad. John shares his burnout process and how he got through it. About John John Eldredge is an author (you probably figured that out), a counselor, and a teacher. He is also president of Ransomed Heart, a ministry devoted to helping people discover the heart of God, recover their own hearts in God's love, and learn to live in God's Kingdom. John grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles (which he hated), and spent his boyhood summers on his grandfather's cattle ranch in eastern Oregon (which he loved). John met his wife, Stasi, in high school (in drama class). But their romance did not begin until they each came to faith in Christ, after high school. John earned his undergraduate degree in Theater at Cal Poly, and directed a theater company in Los Angeles for several years before moving to Colorado with Focus on the Family, where he taught at the Focus on the Family Institute. John earned his master's degree in Counseling from Colorado Christian University, under the direction of Larry Crabb and Dan Allender. He worked as a counselor in private practice before launching Ransomed Heart in 2000. John and Stasi live in Colorado Springs with their three sons (Samuel, Blaine, and Luke), their golden retriever (Oban), and two horses (Whistle and Kokolo). While all of this is factually true, it somehow misses describing an actual person. He loves the outdoors passionately, and all beauty, Shakespeare, bow hunting, a good cigar, anything having to do with adventure, poetry, March Madness, working in the shop, fly fishing, classic rock, the Tetons, fish tacos, George MacDonald, green tea, buffalo steaks, dark chocolate, wild and open places, horses running, and too much more to name. He also uses the expression "far out" way too much.   Connect with John   Books Ransomed Heart One Minute Pause App   Belay Solutions Resources Tricia Sciortiono Podcast   Partner with us Storehouse

Conversation Notes 5:57 - Most recent book: Get your Life Back by John Eldredge - 6:30 -  “I had no idea how fast I was running and how little margin I had in my life.” 6:56 - There has been a war for our attention that has kept us from giving our attention to our loved ones. 8:00 - “I was noticing assault on us by the world was robbing us of the ability to be present... to anything.” 8:54 - Coaching tips for moving into the lifestyle of learning to nourish our souls. 9:37 - The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains by Nicholas Carr 11:44 - One Minute Pause App by John Eldredge - A simple mindfulness app (www.pauseapp.com) 13:00 - 1 Peter 5:7 - Cast all your cares upon him because he cares for you. 13:15 - “Human beings were not meant to live in isolation and we weren't meant to live in a constant unknown. Learning to let it go (benevolent detachment)... is step one.” 15:15 - Steps to the App:  1) Release. Let it go. 2) Heal our union with God. Our soul is meant to be united with God. It's been assaulted by fear and chaos. 3) Fill me with you, God. 17:27 - Prov 4:23 - Above everything guard your heart because out of your heart flows the wellspring of life. ….. “How your heart's doing affects everything else in your life. If your heart's not doing well, you don't love very well, if your heart's not doing well you don't have a lot of dreams. It is the epicenter.” 18:38 - “We are reaping the fruit of a lot of human brokenness generationally….Many kids are growing up either without a dad present, or without a present dad. He might be taken home, but he's so taken out himself.” 18:58 - Carl Jung - “The greatest psychological impact of a parent on a child is the unlived life of the parent…..

Not only mine but everybody else's.” 20:15 - Fathered by God by John Eldredge 20:42 - Gender identity is bestowed by the father. 21:09 - Both the little boy and little girl look to the father to answer their core questions. Boys - Do I have what it takes? Girls - Do you delight in me? Will anyone fight for me? 21: 30 - “God steps in to say, ‘Look, I can still Father you. I can take you on the journey of maturation. You need to know you're a beloved son, you need to know that you're a delighted daughter first.'” 22:45 - God takes us through stages to the place where he can entrust us with kingdoms and influence (a family, education, money, etc). Guys blow up their world because inside they stay in adolescence. 23:48 - John Eldredge podcast -  Ransomed heart podcast 25:20 - Listening prayer - asking God to Father us in the live moments - “what do I do with this? Help me.” 25:53 - A story of a painful moment in parenting. Maintain communication - don't sever lines of communication.

Know that you can (hear his voice). John 10 - My sheep hear my voice. Heb 3 - Today if you hear his voice Rev 3 - Behold I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears my voice….  28:15 - Don't try to hear the voice of God for the first time when it's high drama. Start with really small questions when your heart is quiet.  30:00 - If your inner life is locked up, and shut down in fear and hurt, it is harder to hear. God is super merciful and he'll speak anyways, but the [it will be more clear the] more that we can cultivate the care of the heart and healing of things that need healing in us. 30:54 -  “If your soul is dried out like the desert, God is trying to give you himself, he's trying to pour out the love, the mercy, the words, but when the rain storms come in the desert, it can't receive the rain because it's just so baked.”  31:49 - “As you begin to unplug from technology and as you begin to recover an actual human life back, you will find it easier to hear from God.” 32:34 - “One of the keys to life is this: The way you treat your own heart is the way you will end up treating everyone else's.” 32:55 - “If you are a perfectionist, your kids will feel the pressure to be perfect. If you are a person who wrestles with shame, they are going to experience that shame.” 33:31 - A dad fail. 35:30 - What you would tell your younger self - “You boys need to know you love them, and make that your top priority. You're going to mess it up, everybody does...but love heals…...If your kids know “My dad adores me” then a lot of the failure stuff kind of bounces off. It really does.” 37:15 - Prayer for our families - dadAWESOME Episode 102 37:36 - John Eldredge final prayer over fathers. 40:10 - DA Daily Text (text "dad" to 33222) Links Get Your Life Back book John's website John's podcast One Minute Pause App Instagram Twitter Facebook

Highlights 05:50 Where the ministry began 9:30 It isn't enough for a man to be kind or nice 11:30 Every boy is asking, "Do I have what it takes?" and when they don't get an answer, they are still searching as an adult 13:20 The mood of the room is set by the leader, and you lead by vulnerability and by inviting them to an adventure: boredom is what is killing men in church 16:00 Group retreats take men into their own hearts and back into their own stories to where they lost heart 19:00 Unplugging and getting away from the distraction is important to getting more out of the program 21:35 Writing his most recent book, Get Your Life Back: Everyday Practices for a World Gone Mad—the pace of life was becoming too much for him so he began to look for ways to get away from the chaos in the midst of living 24:05 Are you giving more of your attention to what's happening in the world than you are to God?

It is, unfortunately, a common experience: you enter a room, and everyone else seems to belong there. But not you - you're the outsider. And then comes the impulse to get out, check out, hide. In this episode, Blaine and Sam sit down with Allen Arnold, a regular voice on the Ransomed Heart podcast, to unpack the urge to hide: where does it come from, how do you get to its root in your story, and what do you do to engage anyway. From generational norms to the silence of Adam, distrusting people to the reliability of Jesus, this is a podcast on how to take hold of God's interpretation of your story. And then you can relate through it.

This week, we had the pleasure of talking with bestselling author, counselor, and teacher John Eldredge. We discuss everything from what it means to be human, to the power of beauty in healing trauma. You'll even hear a few of John's best practices for being present in each given moment.

Jesus just changes everything. He especially changed our relationship with God. In Jesus, we are to live in full union with God. Unity. Jesus is in the Father. We are in Jesus. Jesus is in us. We are one.That changes everything in the world.

Why did Jesus come? Like he said, he came to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and sight for the blind. To set the oppressed free! Jesus came to bring restoration to all things.

As we look toward a new year, we have real hope for the future. Not wishful thinking, but promises from the living God. Promises that he keeps. We have hope!

Some of the Ransomed Heart team gather to offer Christmas prayers and blessings for you this holy week.

One of the great stories about Jesus is about his birth. Born in a manager because there was no room at the inn.The birth was announced to some shepherds who nice society did not have any room for. But God had room for both Jesus and the shepherds. And it was a glorious announcement.

In an effort to fight the creeping, medicating, overextended presence of our smartphones, the And Sons team and four Ransomed Heart team members gave up their smartphones for a month to see what would happen. The goal was to see if technology is really the enemy, or if we use other forms of medication in its place. It's an And Sons experiment.

As we continuing telling stories about Jesus, we find many stories about restoration. Jesus restores things. And at the same time, we see in these stories that Jesus was limited to the form of a human, and as a result, his life was at risk. God intervened in a dream and told Joseph to run to Egypt. Joseph heard and obeyed. The life of Jesus was spared...

Telling stories is a great way to get to know someone. Telling stories about Jesus is so revealing. Jesus is the best! Jesus is so much fun.

You've never met anyone like JesusIn this story we see ways that Jesus is so gracious to us. Here, he fed the people with 2 loaves and a few fish, that did not even belong to him. And they picked up more leftovers than they started with.
