What if the distance you feel from God isn’t a problem to solve, but an invitation to go deeper? In this episode, I sit down with bestselling author Stasi Eldredge to talk about her new book, The Ladder of Love, and how our wounds, shame, and experiences can shape the way we see God—and how Jesus meets us there with healing and truth. If you’ve ever known about God but longed to truly know Him, this conversation will encourage you to move beyond striving and into a deeper, more honest intimacy with Jesus.

I LOVED getting to sit down with Stasi Eldredge because it just feels like she's a mentor to all of us. She knows Jesus intimately and wants us to know Him on that level and know the power we have to push back against the enemy, too. Her new book, Ladder of Love, includes a masterclass on spiritual warfare - and as we've been talking about the way the enemy's stolen, killed, or destroyed our dreams, Stasi's equipping us to fight back. Head's up - we talk about her story which includes some really heavy and sensitive topics, so you may want to listen to this before my miniBFFs. We continue the conversation with us over on SpirituallyStronger.com. It's my favorite place to write, and we love reading your comments there. . . . .

Get ready for a wild conversation on the adventure of masculine initiation, spiritual formation, and life as a beloved son with Morgan Snyder. You'll hear what it truly means to be fathered by God, how unhealed emasculation ("castration") can leave parts of a man's soul dormant, and why true strength is cultivated through total dependence on God rather than self-reliance.Morgan Snyder is a grateful husband of twenty-five years to his wife, Cherie, and a proud father of two remarkable children. He serves as a spiritual director, strategist, teacher, writer, and speaker devoted to the formation of wholehearted leaders.Morgan is the President and Founder of Become Good Soil, established in 2010 as a global fellowship and training ground for leaders who have consented to organize their entire lives around apprenticeship to God and His Kingdom. His passion is to apprentice men, women, and marriages into wholeheartedness, freedom, and maturity for the sake of faithfully carrying responsibility in the Kingdom of God. For more than twenty-five years, Morgan served alongside John and Stasi Eldredge at Wild at Heart, including as Vice President. Throughout those decades, he helped initiate men and participate in the spiritual formation of leaders around the globe, guiding sold-out events and leadership initiatives across the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Australia, and beyond.Morgan now shares a mission with Cherie, a clinical counselor and co-host of the Become Good Soil Podcast, as they intentionally transition into becoming second-half-of-life leaders. Together, they are devoted to serving the next two generations of leaders while helping their peers become sages for the generations that follow.After turning fifty, Morgan and Cherie made the intentional decision to serve as full-time volunteers within their vocational space, offering their lives, experience, and leadership in wholehearted response to the invitation of God. Their work now centers on masculine and feminine initiation, resilient marriages, and Kingdom-hearted leadership for fully flourishing lives and communities. Whenever possible, Morgan still goes off the grid—whether bowhunting in the Colorado wilderness or pursuing the adventurous life with the people he treasures most.Buy Morgan's book:Becoming a King: The Path to Restoring the Heart of a ManListen to Morgan's podcast:Become Good SoilLearn more at becomegoodsoil.comSend us Fan MailTake the Husband Material Journey...Step 1: Listen to this podcast or watch on YouTubeStep 2: Join the private Husband Material CommunityStep 3: Take the free mini-course: How To Outgrow PornStep 4: Try the all-in-one program: Husband Material AcademyThanks for listening!

What if the ache within us is not something to push through alone, but an invitation toward healing? Stasi welcomes her son, counselor Sam Eldredge, for a tender conversation about loneliness, vulnerability, relationships, and the courage to face our stories honestly. Wherever we feel stuck or alone, Jesus is near—gently inviting us to open our hearts, receive the care we need, and follow him into freedom, restoration, and more life than we imagined possible.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Revelation 1:18 (NIV) – I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.Genesis 2:18 (NIV) – The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”Proverbs 27:17 (NIV) – As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. 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.…..SAM ELDREDGEWebsite: https://www.nobleworkshops.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nobleworkshopsSAM'S BIOSam Eldredge has spent his career in the space where psychology and faith meet. Trained in the modalities that form the backbone of Noble's work such as Internal Family Systems, experiential therapy, somatic practice, attachment theory, and EMDR-informed movement, he has spent over two decades watching what happens when people are given the right conditions to do the work they have been carrying.Noble Workshops grew out of that watching.Sam grew up immersed in the world of the heart. His formation was shaped deeply by the work of Wild at Heart, an organization that has spent decades helping people recover their inner lives and understand the story they are living. That foundation shaped his understanding of what people are actually hungering for: genuine movement, not just information. The freedom that comes when something long stuck finally begins to shift.Noble was Sam's response to a gap he kept seeing: people who had done meaningful work, who had language for their pain and faith in the possibility of change, and who still couldn't find a structure that allowed that change to actually take root. Weekly therapy sessions, however skilled the guide, have limits. Immersion changes what is possible.He founded Noble to offer something different. A week held with clinical rigor and genuine care, set apart from ordinary life, where the work can finally build on itself rather than reset on longer timelines.…..ADDITIONAL RESOURCESPainting: The Harrowing of HadesAndSons Podcast Archives: https://wildatheart.org/podcasts/and-sons…..Don't Miss Out on the Next Episode—Subscribe for FreeSubscribe using your favorite podcast app:YouTube – https://wahe.art/4h8DelLSpotify Podcasts – https://wahe.art/496zdfnApple Podcasts – https://apple.co/42E0oZ1 Amazon Music & Audible – https://amzn.to/3M9u6hJ

How do we cope when the unthinkable happens and we are stretched beyond our capacity or ability? Where is a safe space to take our unanswered questions, fears, and doubts? The only place of true peace is one we tend to miss in our rush for answers: simply sitting with Jesus.

Today's episode is a special guided encounter, where Stasi gently leads us beyond learning about Jesus and into experiencing His presence within us. Through prayer, breath, Scripture, and sacred imagination, we are invited to settle our souls, release our burdens, and meet with the living Christ in the deep places of our hearts.

Today we pause to celebrate 100 episodes—100 conversations centered on Jesus and his goodness, gentleness, and relentless pursuit of our hearts. Stasi and producer Stacey Burton reflect on the story behind the podcast and its sacred journey. What began as a divine invitation has become a space to encounter Jesus again and again. Through stories of surrender, prayer, and sharing of what we love most about Jesus, this episode is more than a celebration—it's a continued invitation to deeper union with the One who is endlessly kind and always near.…..SHOW NOTES:…..VERSES: Psalm 150:1–6 (NIV) – Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.”1 John 4:19 (NIV) – We love because he first loved us.Galatians 6:4 (NIV) – Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else.…..RESOURCESExplore the Pause App – Includes the One Minute Pause, 30 Days to Resilience, and the Experience Jesus 20-day program.
