Podcasts about sacred romance

This week, Jake and Bob are joined by John Eldredge, president of Wild at Heart, to discuss what authentic discipleship looks like in a distracted digital age. They explore the subtle ways constant connectivity and information overload can erode our spiritual focus, hinder intimacy with God, and ultimately fragment our souls. John also shares stories and insights from his own journey, highlights how unchecked busyness can mask deeper wounds or spiritual emptiness, and encourages listeners, with practical advice, to seek genuine communion with Jesus for true restoration.   Key Points: A true disciple is someone who has fallen in love with Jesus. This love sustains their commitment to following His commands The internet conditions people against intimacy with God. While the internet is not always be, it is important to recognize its impact on your spiritual life Intimacy with God requires intentionality and focus, especially when it comes to our phones and computers Mystery and wonder have been twisted into something negative. In reality, mystery and wonder are a beautiful part of spiritual life Jesus actively seeks to heal each fragmented part of yourself and continually invites you deeper into relationship with Him   Resources: Wild at Heart Website Wild at Heart by John Eldredge Experience Jesus.

Our hearts long for greater adventure and romance than this world can ever fully satisfy. This can't be it. There's got to be more. Thankfully, there is! In this second of a three-part series, John, Stasi, Allen and guest Mary Ellen Owen talk about how The Sacred Romance pulls the curtain back on this cosmic drama that God's been weaving since before time began. Like a lost message from Eden, it reveals a story big enough to satisfy your yearning for intimacy, beauty, and adventure in this world of danger, risk, and chaos.New editions of The Sacred Romance book, audio, and workbook are available at the links below and wherever books are sold.The Sacred Romance BookAnd the Workbook_______________________________________________There is more.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

The true story of every person is not the story we see, the external story, but the journey of their heart. Tragically, we try to ignore or silence our hearts—whether through busyness, work, hobbies, more church duties, or a colorful fantasy life. It never works, because we were made for more, and we know it. Which makes this the perfect moment to relaunch John Eldredge and Brent Curtis' book, The Sacred Romance. In the first of this three-part series, discover the origin story of this breathtaking message and hear John read the first chapter from the updated edition of this transformative book.The Sacred Romance book, audio, and workbook are available at the links below and wherever books are sold.The Sacred Romance BookAnd the Workbook_______________________________________________There is more.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

Worldview. What is it, and why is it important? As Christians, we want to see reality as God sees it. In this compilation of the Kingdom Worldview series, we revisit a Kingdom theology, how to be a Kingdom people, and the three pillars of Sacred Romance, Sovereign Lordship, and Spiritual Warfare. Understanding that God is love, God is sovereign, and this world is at war are three fundamental pillars to understanding reality through the lens of the Kingdom of God. This week's compilation covers Season 1, Episodes 17-22. Helpful Links:Deeper Walk YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@deeperwalkinternational Deeper Walk Online Bookstore: https://bookstore.deeperwalk.com   Deeper Walk Newsletter: https://tinyurl.com/DWINewsletter  Deeper Walk Trailblazers: https://deeperwalk.com/trailblazers/ Podcast Mailbox: https://tinyurl.com/OTTMailbox 

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?

As I sat in the heart of Anchorage, Alaska, surrounded by the whisper of trees and the embrace of the open sky, I found myself pondering the beauty that bridges our world with the divine. This episode brings you along on a spiritual odyssey, one that begins with an anecdote of a two-day women's retreat that I led, nestled amidst nature's grandeur. The narrative unfolds with a memory from high school, a moment that transcends mere physical attraction, leading to a revelation about the sacredness of human beauty. Through this story I invite you to consider how the 'small b beauty' of creation can open our eyes to the 'big B Beauty'—the presence of God in our lives.There's an aching within each of us, a yearning for something more, something profound. We explore this universal longing for truth, goodness, and beauty, embracing these desires as intrinsic to our design. For Further Reading: Fill These Hearts by Christopher West and The Sacred Romance by Brent Curtis and John Eldredge."The future of humanity passes by way of the family"--John Paul II.Please send donations to support our work to:John Paul II Renewal Center902 S Randall RoadSTE C #296St. Charles, IL. 60174Support the show     Don't forget to sign up for our Newsletter!!  JPll Renewal Center email listFor more information please go to our website: jp2renew.orgSupport the show

It's easy to read about someone else's knotted up life but it's hard to uncover the knots in our own lives.  Will Chenault understands the power of our stories and why they matter in light of God's larger story. You will appreciate Will's practical insight and wisdom as he leads us down a road that isn't as scary as we thought.   If we don't tell our stories, our stories tell us.  But we can't name what we don't know. We have to identify where the harm happened so the healing can begin.  God wants to take those broken, shattered pieces and make something more beautiful than it was before.  We are so excited to share this episode with you.   "God is working.  He's restoring.  He's bringing hope.  I wouldn't do this work if I didn't deeply believe that.  But we have to do the hard work. It's a holy calling, entering into the stories of others with a view towards redemption." "If we don't do the work, a lot of Christians walk around with giant heads and shriveled hearts. We can know doctrine but not know how it impacts our relationships." "We cannot be spiriually mature unless we are emotionally mature." Peter Scazzero, author of The Emotionally Healthy Church. "I don't know where to cauterize the wound unless I know where you are bleeding." Will is now affectionately known as "Mr. Amanda" (listen to Amanda Chenault's Rambling Episode 74) Will is also the Soul Care Pastor at Fellowship Bible Church, entering into the lives of many people and helping them process things in their life at a point of need.  Learm more about Soul Care & Story Groups and Will's counseling practice at The Pratt Clinic.   The Sacred Romance by John Eldredge (one of Will's top 5 books that was monumental in discovering his life's calling) Learn more about Dr. Larry Crabb (the father of Chrisitan Psychology) and Dr. Dan Allender (a pioneer in training people to listen and work through narratives of harm–both their own stories and the stories of others–to foster truth, goodness, and beauty in all of their relationships).

Today's meditation comes from John 4:1-42. Afterword: I didn't include this story in my "Daughters of Zion" biblical retellings (you can find that here: https://www.amazon.com/Daughters-Zion-Biblical-Retellings-Gray-ebook/dp/B08XJLWZG2/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=26DTl&content-id=amzn1.sym.e4bd6ac6-9035-4a04-92a6-fc4ad60e09ad&pf_rd_p=e4bd6ac6-9035-4a04-92a6-fc4ad60e09ad&pf_rd_r=ETX87PBBDTT19TDXZC6Z&pd_rd_wg=WUc3Q&pd_rd_r=3c275bbc-e63d-462c-a711-66ae5d526364&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_atf_m) only because the theme of that book was miracles experienced by women, and not just biblical stories in which a woman was prominently featured. Otherwise, this would have been one of the big ones. The story only appears in the gospel of John, though it makes sense why John specifically would have chosen to include it. The theme of his gospel is love. The Jews of Jesus' day scorned Samaritans, and from a religious standpoint, it would seem that there were good reasons for this. The Samaritans were Jews who had intermarried with pagans of neighboring nations, violating God's commandments to Joshua (Joshua 23:11-13), and falling prey to the doctrine of Balaam (from Numbers 23-24). God specifically told the Jews not to intermarry with those who worshipped other gods, lest they be led into idolatry. But when Assyria captured Samaria (2 Kings 17:5-41), the Assyrian king sent foreigners into the land who worshipped other gods. The Jews there did intermarry with them, and incorporated their pagan practices into their worship of Yahweh as well. Because of this, devout Jews wanted nothing to do with Samaritans, and wouldn't allow them to worship at their temple. The Samaritans had thus erected their own temple for worship instead (John 4:19-20). Even among her fellow Samaritans, though, this woman was an outcast. This is implied by the fact that she went alone to the well in the heat of the day, rather than in the morning when it was cooler, with all the other women. Her story, as Jesus revealed it, indicates the probable reason for this: her immoral behavior presumably caused the respectable women of the town to look down on her. This was probably why she was so shocked when Jesus spoke to her, even humbling himself to the point of asking her for a favor. (I'm sure He really did want a drink, though, as we're told earlier in the story that He was weary from his journey, and it was mid-afternoon so possibly it was hot, John 4:6. The story never mentions that the woman actually gave Him a drink, so as I wrote the retelling, I kept thinking, He's still thirsty...) Jesus' humility in asking the woman for a favor probably lowered her defense mechanisms initially, but I love how Jesus proceeded to dismantle whatever remained of them with just a few sentences. Every "chick flick" or "chick lit" story features an archetypical down-and-out heroine, embittered by the adversities of life. She then surreptitiously encounters a romantic hero who is the very embodiment of perfection. He's not only handsome, confident, and kind, but also several rungs above her on the social ladder to boot--but he's never arrogant about it. He sees through our heroine's prickly defenses to the soft heart she's trying to protect, and he's absolutely taken with her. From that point on, he pursues her relentlessly, refusing to be dissuaded. Try as she might, she can't resist him--because as frightened as she is of letting herself be vulnerable, all she's ever wanted is for someone to look past her faults, see her for who she truly is, and love her anyway. She falls in love with him in spite of herself... and then of course they live happily ever after. That's how I see this story, and I think it's how John saw it too. It's not a romance in the human sense, and yet (as author John Eldredge would put it), it's "The Sacred Romance," writ small and personal--almost in allegory, though this was also a real woman, too. We are not called the Bride of Christ for nothing. I don't think it's a coincidence that this woman was the lowest of the low in that society, either--and yet, despite that, this woman is the first recorded person to whom Jesus overtly declares His identity as the Messiah (John 4:25-26). Of all people, He chose her to be the first to hear the news--just as later, the formerly demon-possessed Mary Magdalene was the first to see the risen Christ. (John is also the only gospel writer to explicitly record this encounter, in John 20:11-18.) If Jesus qualified even these women, then there's hope for all of us.

We are engaged in a definitive battle between the forces of the culture of life and the culture of death. In this battle there will be no grand leader or political force riding in on a great white stallion to rescue humanity. Yet there is a hero in this story, or better, millions of heroes.This is continued from Episodes #285-286Buckle up...In 1976, in a speech given in Philadelphia for our nations bicentennial, John Paul II, then Cardinal Karol Wojtyla, spoke these words. "I do not think that wide circles of American society or wide circles of the Christina community realize this fully. We are now facing the final confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the anti-Gospel."Previously aired podcasts recommended on the show: #182, #186, #189, #192 Book: Man and Woman He Created Them; A Theology of the Body.

In this episode, we talk about the book “The Sacred Romance – Drawing closer to the heart of God.” We have Bob Rosa back on this episode. Bob is currently working through this book with some men, so we thought it would be good to have him on this episode to talk about the book. We talk about how we as humans put up a false self, and how this is damaging to us, our relationship with God and others. We talk about how to become more authentic in a superficial world.
