There's humility. There's awe. There's the way things work that's essential for every man, his version of it." 22:36 - "So often, it's actually the condition of the orphan that's blocking the radical love of the Father, the pursuit of the Father, the ongoing efforts of the Father to intervene."   Conversation Links   Website: Become Good Soil Book: Becoming a King: The Path To Restoring The Heart Of A Man Podcast: Become Good Soil    Links from dadAWESOME   https://dadawesome.org/life/ Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team Receive weekly encouragement by texting "dad" to 651-370-8618

They assume, and often, this is subconscious because it's so plays to our DNA, our design as men, they get a desire and then they run with it. We run with it, I run with it and we don't pass because we don't have the miles of knowing the consequence of it going bad... desire is intended to be the fuel for doing the hard work, the brutal, slow process of becoming the kind of man that can fulfill that desire." 12:57 - "That actually when we rush the process, what we do is just hijack the thing that God's doing and so it comes back again because our Father is generous and reluctant, the Holy Spirit is faithful to guide and redeem, everything for good. So, even if it goes completely sideways, not all is lost... as we grow in kingdom, authority and kingdom just reality of what and who were entrusted with, the consequences are much higher."   Conversation Links   Website: Become Good Soil Book: Becoming a King: The Path To Restoring The Heart Of A Man Podcast: Become Good Soil   Links from dadAWESOME   https://dadawesome.org/life/ Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team Receive weekly encouragement by texting "dad" to 651-370-8618

"God is very interested and motivated in the initiation of our children. It's what makes Him come alive. He has their best interests in mind. And when I put down my agenda, I got curious. I got responsive. The path that my children have chosen and the God has chosen for them is not what I would have chosen in so many ways, but being a student and being attentive and participating has changed everything."   dadAWESOME   We're on a mission to add LIFE to the dad life.

Lewis said, ‘I believe in Christianity like I believe in the sunrise.I believe in it because I see it every day, but it's by the sun I see all things.' ...To become a son is my sunrise. I believe it because I've experienced it to be true. To unlearn God as Father the way I've learned it wrong and to open my heart to receive him as the true Father he intends to be. It's by that I see all things.” 4:28 - Growing up in a home without God - winning the “game” of life - having success in many areas, but losing his soul. 5:26 - giving his life to God 6:24 - "God became my father, my pastor, my guide,  I entered into a slow and steady process of being initiated as a man and fathered as a son. And so where I find myself now is ...in process of over two decades of making my life about becoming the kind of man in whom God is glad to entrust more and more of the care of his kingdom, becoming more and more honest about what's not yet, about what is under construction. But that used to feel like a weight and now feels like a promise because there's so much hope.” 7:28  - His wife is the Chief Life Officer. 9:58 - His wife shared in counseling, “I feel like a bird locked in a cage. And I can't fly"…. That wasn't my heart's intention at all. I dreamed about being a loving husband, but the fruit was I was a broken man, an unhealed boy inside a man that was still driving to get his question answered by achieving. I am loved when I come through. I am loved when I achieve. And now it's just in the name of God, it's just in the name of being a husband. And all the while my strength wasn't actually rescuing the beauty, it wasn't actually fighting for her, it was actually diminishing the glory of her life.” 11:29 - “I believe one of the greatest sacred trusts given to me is to champion her calling and allow her to thrive as the Chief Life Officer.” 11:47 - Finding the way to the center of your daughter's heart. 12:16 - A birth experience gone wrong 13:27 - “God I agree with your story for my son, and I want to participate with what you have planned for him. I want to participate in initiation and I'll participate in the birth story you have.” 13:47 - "God is very interested and motivated in the initiation of our children. It's what makes Him come alive. He has their best interests in mind. And when I put down my agenda, I got curious. I got responsive. The path that my children have chosen and the God has chosen for them is not what I would have chosen in so many ways, but being a student and being attentive and participating has changed everything." 15:00 - Talking about his daughter - "I approach her with a question of ‘Holy Spirit would you show me her heart? Who did you make [her] to be? And how do I bring my delight to her and communicate consistently - [you] are loved. And there is nothing you can do or not do and say or not say  that will cause me to withdraw my delight. And if I can get that right, then everything else becomes secondary.” 18:13 - How do I initiate my son? 19:00 - "Fundamentally, when we can pull back from the trees and see the forest, we offer the sum total of who we've become, we will apprentice our kids for good or for ill into the person we've become.” 19:17 - Technology and growing up as an adolescent girl in our current culture. 20:16 - we try to offer what we haven't received and offer what we haven't become….. 21:52 - whole-hearted parenting and growing in union with God 22:00 - "We can only fake it for so long and until we come to an understanding that excavation is simply non-negotiable bc when we build on a shoddy foundation, we don't know until the storm comes but the storm will come. We are in a culture of uncertainty and in a time of shaking." 23:32 - Immaturity vs. sin 25:31 - "Reality is what we bump into when we're wrong." - Dallas Willard 26:10 - Look to the older men in your life and ask where did they get taken out or hijacked. 26:23 - "I have a choice. I either have to settle for engineering a small life, ... where life becomes mostly about comfort, security and arranging for a life that I can control, or at least have the illusion that I can control and it doesn't require me to change. And that's what most men become. Or I can take those exclamation points and I can start asking questions." 27:03 - "We really only have two choices, either humility or humiliation." 27:17 - "I realized the questions are the core to apprenticeship and it's the questions that led me back to the path of life." 30:21 - "Someone with my best interests in mind is at work. What I recovered was an upside down kingdom. Where most men build, the invitation was to stop building and allow God to excavate so that he can build your character - not just morality but whole-heartedness." 32:02 - "Actually it's the good soil, cultivated over time, that yields the supernatural harvest." 34:54 - PODCAST EPISODE ABOUT MARGIN 35:28 - How does a fish know that it's water is polluted? 36:45 - We are in an age of exponential change and we all, as a culture, carry more load than our limits. 37:15 - So if we come to terms that we are in an aggressive culture that wants to destroy our margin, the gap between our load and our limits, then we understand we have to fight to protect that space. 37:32 - "The great frontier in our age is our attention and our affection, and its in margin, its in the space between the load and limits, that we can recover our attention and our affection which was actually meant to be the epicenter of where we grow with intimacy with God." 39:00 - "Identify your load. Identify your healthy, sustainable limits. And if your load exceeds your limits, then that's a frontier in which you need to be curious with about God."   Conversation Links:   Become Good Soil Book - Becoming A King: The Path To Restoring The Heart Of A Man - Morgan Snyder's Becoming a King speaks unabashedly to men, teaching them the life-changing truth about the power that God intends for them to responsibly step into for his Kingdom, while also giving women an honest peek behind the curtain into the lives and hearts of the men they know and love.

In this episode with Morgan Snyder from Ransomed Heart Ministries, we cover everything from whatever "the new normal" means, to God being "gender full"... all that, and a few delightfully "own your awkward" moments of vulnerability thrown in for good measure. Yeah. It's a great conversation.

Morgan Snyder works at Ransomed Heart Ministries and he talks about becoming a stronger man for our loved ones and defining ourselves by who we're becoming rather than what we're doing. Morgan talks... Scott Herrold is known for his interviews. He does a daily radio show on SOS Radio. This postcast is conversations about worldview, faith and culture with famous personalities.

Are you ready to take the long road and forgo the shortcuts to becoming a Radically Generous Entrepreneur? If so, you may want the help of a deep dive into what that looks like, and you can find it in the newest book by my guest, Morgan Snyder of Ransomed Heart Ministries. Morgan joins us from Colorado Springs, where his book “Becoming a King” becomes available on Amazon May 26th of 2020. In it, Morgan shares the deep, enriching substance of over 20 years’ sojourn as an apprentice to God and older men in the Kingdom. He personifies and digs deep into a principle that dovetails with Chapter 6 of Influencer Networking Secrets – The Curator. We will become defined by the people who surround us – and we reap in the next decade what we sow in this one! Morgan serves on the executive leadership team of Ransomed Heart, where he has led retreats and events for men for two decades. He is the architect and steward of Become Good Soil, a sub-set of Ransomed Heart’s outreach aimed specifically at men in their thirties, who are busy becoming the kings of tomorrow. Morgan lives in the suburbs of Colorado Springs with his wife, Cherie, and their two children. Every chance he gets, you can find him in the wilderness. “Find like-hearted kings living in the same direction. Sign treaties. When one kingdom is at war, both are at war.” – Dan Allender In this episode: The question every man brings to the world – and how we answer it presents us with a choice between humility and humiliation The vanity of setting out to “make a name for yourself” – how the work you bring to the world is never truly offered with the wrong motives! The deep interconnectedness that eludes so many people – and the profound, eternal riches you can access by getting OUT of the rat race How curating your tribe begins with PAIN, not profit – and why you can’t curate them unless you have more QUESTIONS than answers   Resources Get Morgan’s new book “Becoming a King” HERE:

In this episode, I get to share some excellent time on the excavation of a man's soul with Morgan Snyder. We talk about devoting ourselves to the hard, deep work of recovering our hearts and becoming the kind of men that God is happy to entrust with his kingdom. This was one of my favorite interviews of all time, and I think you'll agree and really enjoy it.

In this interview with John Eldredge of Ransomed Heart Ministries (ransomedheart.com) and author of Wild at Heart, we discuss what life is like in the midst of the pandemic and how we can use this as a gospel moment and be part of spiritual revival.

As sons we should always have questions. Best-selling author, president of Ransomed Heart Ministries, speaker, counselor and father John Eldredge has been walking in his identity as a son long enough and well enough to provide some very insightful answers to our questions.  What's the Kingdom perspective on the world today? Gender confusion? Mental health? God's primary revealed identity as Father? How do we maintain and even grow in connection with God in a world going mad. And along the way John shares some of the story of how God rescued him and began fathering him before he even knew that's what was happening. This is a very insightful and engaging conversation with a man God is using to father men around the globe. Be curious with us.

A few years ago, a friend of ours found himself in a season where he started to notice something wasn’t quite right with his soul. Overwhelmed, empty, and depleted, he decided to do something about it. Today he shares with us, the practices he learned to get his soul, and his life back. On today’s episode we’re very thrilled to welcome back to the show, for the third time, our good friend, the one and only Mr. John Eldredge! If you’re not familiar with John, he’s the founder of Ransomed Heart Ministries in Colorado Springs, well known Christian Speaker, and best selling author of books such as Wild at Heart, Waking the Dead, and his latest book, Get Your Life Back. Conversations with John are always so rich, full of wisdom, and leave us longing or more of God, and today is no exception. John unpacks the power of simple practices such as getting outside, seeking beauty in our everyday lives, taking a daily one minute pause, and remembering who we love. This conversation is one to listen to again and again. May these practices help us create more space in our souls for more of life and more of God. Listen in.     For more episodes featuring John Eldredge, make sure to check out: Ep. 45 | Make Space for Your Soul Ep. 30 | Living a Life of Adventure   A few favorite quotes from today’s episode: “If you can get into nature as a soulful practice, it is enormously healing.” “Your soul is wonderfully small, and to be kind is to admit the limits of the capacity of your soul.” “Your soul is the vessel that God fills. Your soul is the means by which you experience God, and when your soul is baked like a desert, you can’t receive the water He’s trying to bring.” “There were things that you used to do that brought you life. . . go do them again. Make room for them, make them a priority again. Go get them back!” “More of life is more of God.” “God is in the things that you love.” "We must empty ourselves of all that currently fills us so that we can be filled with God.” St. Augustine   Music featured in this episode: Casey Darnell, Moments Connect with us: https://letsliveitwell.com https://www.instagram.com/chrisgraebe/ https://www.instagram.com/jennigraebe/ https://www.instagram.com/letsliveitwell/

Catch this conversation I had with my amazing wife about working to be more present in the day-to-day! In November of 2019 we had the opportunity to attend a conference with Ransomed Heart Ministries that challenged us to cut down on technology and be more present with our family. Here are some of the things we have learned and applied since then! 

In part two of the discussion, Paul McDonald and Allen Arnold talk about digging deeper into the words from God.  Once you receive your word, what do you do with it? How do you use it to grow deeper in your union with God?  That leads to a conversation about the definition of success, one that isn't dependent on reaction from others, but on whether or not you did it with God.   Allen Arnold is the the Director of Content & Resources for Ransomed Heart Ministries and the author of The Story of With: A Better Way to Live, Love, and Create.

On this episode, Paul McDonald and Allen Arnold talk about the practice of advance words, seeking guidance from God for the upcoming year.  Allen recommends starting early to remove the pressure.  It's also important to go into the process without an agenda.  Avoid the "yep" in response to the guidance God gives--don't assume you know everything about it.  Spend time with the word, savor it.  Finally, write it down.  Remember it. Don't let it slip away.  The entire process is meant to lead to a conversation with God, to a deeper intimacy and relationship with Him.   Allen Arnold is the the Director of Content & Resources for Ransomed Heart Ministries and the author of The Story of With: A Better Way to Live, Love, and Create.

Allen Arnold from Ransomed Heart Ministries is back to kick off a whole new Misfit season, with a thoroughly dee--lightful and quite frankly, vitally important conversation about identity, chaos and creativity... and the beautiful trifecta therein!

On this week’s very special episode, we had the incredible joy of welcoming back to the show, one of our very favorite mentors on planet earth….

(Men, if you have not read this, it is a MUST) He’s also written some of our other very favorite books of all time, Waking the Dead, Journey of Desire, & The Way of the Wild Heart, just to name a few.   We chat with John today about his latest project, the Restoration Year devotional, which has quickly become on of our new favorites. John shares with us how to practice soul care, making space in our lives to hear Gods voice, how to pursue restoration for our souls and how to support that process in our spouse as well.   What you'll experience after spending time with John today is the same thing you'll find when you pick up any of his books: it will make you want to grow closer to Jesus. John is the real deal, and always so good to remind us that loving Jesus really is what living a life of adventure is all about. We were so impacted by this incredible conversation with one of our greatest heroes, and we know you will be too!

The Guys Like Us is joined with John Eldredge who is an author, counselor, teacher, and founder of Ransomed Heart Ministries. John searched for meaning in high school taking interest in the allure of California and the spiritual trends in the widespread. He came to find a new found understanding of treasure and dove in head first. John speaks on recovering gender, and the importance it has at the level of the soul. How can one hear the voice of God? How can we bring back a healthy masculine soul? John discusses the image of Christ, as both an authoritative voice on strength and power, but also on playfulness and tenderness. John takes us through his best-selling book, “Wild at Heart” and his latest book, “All Things New: Heaven, Earth, and the Restoration of Everything You Love.” He explains the necessity of union with Christ. Through Him we are able to address mental health and sexuality. Finally, we see some essential pieces of a romantic and intimate relationship. To get through woundedness of a woman, you need to share your own woundedness. Check out www.ransomedheart.com for more on John and their ministry!

 What Would Your Life Be Like If Porn and Lust Were No Longer an Issue?We all know someone battling sexually compulsive behavior or habitual sexual sin. You may not know it yet, but statistically it’s true. So maybe you’ve met the guy who has read all the purity books and attended all the sexual integrity groups, met with an accountability partner, yet continues to stay stuck in their struggle. With that struggle comes relational pain, crippling shame, and a sense that things can never really change. It doesn’t have to be this way. There is a way to live that leads to freedom. But here's the thing . . .Freedom is all about restoration of our heart.In this conversation, Michael Cusick is interviewed by Blaine and Sam Eldredge of Ransomed Heart Ministries. The conversation runs the gamut about desire, God, longings, addiction and freedom.When you listen you will learn the following:What are the four mistakes to avoid when trying to overcome a struggle with pornography or lust?Three reasons why more Christian effort and performance will not lead to freedom.Why the best approach to overcoming sexual struggles is to "feed the soul and starve the addiction".Two ways our sexuality gives us clues about our own soul and our relationship with God.

Every man lives to have an adventure to live, Beauty to rescue and a battle to fight. John Eldredge is an American author, counselor, and lecturer on Christianity. He is known for his bestselling book Wild at Heart. Eldredge describes himself, "I'm 55. I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. My wife Stasi and I have three sons. My graduate degree is in counseling. Professionally, I'm a writer and a speaker. I don't pastor. I'm not a preacher. I don't have a church that I lead." While living in Los Angeles Eldredge was looking for a "worldview." After exploring other religions, Eastern mysticism, Lao-Tzu, and New Age spirituality, he discovered the writings of Francis Schaeffer, whom he calls one of the best philosophers of the 20th century. Through Schaeffer, Eldredge came to Christ and later to the church. He eventually got a master's degree in counseling and practiced in Colorado Springs before working for Focus on the Family, where he served as Senior Fellow for Christian Worldview. John received his undergraduate degree in theater from California Polytechnic University (Pomona) and his MA in biblical counseling from Colorado Christian Universityunder the direction of Dr. Larry Crabb and Dr. Dan Allender.
