  • I 1st heard of John Eldridge in March 2025 when a short clip about marriage popped up on my mobile. Then I looked for the longer interview with Matt Fradd. A few weeks later, I found the wild at heart podcasts, app and the pause app. I love all of them. I have enjoyed all 844 recordings. I have even repeated some of them and still got through all of them in 6 months. I know that was possibly too fast so I will be happy to repeat some of them.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E847 | How Can You Survive Without...? - Part 3
Q: How would you answer, I just don't know how people can survive without...?
The first thing that comes to mind is the presence of God, intimacy with God because where can I go from your presence?
E845 | How Can You Survive Without...? - Part 1
Q: What causes us to have a lack or a scarcity of beauty in our lives?
Beauty has to be intentionally chosen and moved towards; when on autopilot, life focuses on comfort and productivity, neglecting beauty.
E837 | The Familiar Stranger
Q: Can you share about your personal journey and its impact on your faith?
After facing stage 4 cancer, I re-evaluated my priorities and learned about intimacy with God through suffering, which deepened my spiritual life.
E837 | The Familiar Stranger
Q: What made you want to write about the Holy Spirit at this point in time?
I felt a deep need to address the topic of the Holy Spirit due to its significance for the future of the church, especially as it has become a point of division rather than unity among believers.
E828 | Mark Sayers on Living Between Eras
Q: What is a gray zone? And what does that mean in terms of the situation that we find ourselves in?
A gray zone is the transitional space between cultural eras where elements of the old are still present but the new has not fully emerged.
