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. In this live session from a recent Wild at Heart gathering in Colorado Springs, Stasi Eldredge explains what it means to come near to Jesus in this way—and then ushers us into an experience of actually doing so.

What are Ignatian Practices—and how can they usher us into greater intimacy with Jesus? During the 16th century, Ignatius discovered a way to experience Jesus more deeply as he prayed through the gospel stories. In this live session from a recent Wild at Heart gathering, Blaine Eldredge explains the three parts of the Ignatian Practice—preparation, prayer, and reflection—and then leads the gathering (and you) through one. Discover how this ancient practice can enrich your prayer life with Jesus.

In this live session from a recent Wild at Heart gathering, John Eldredge names what we wish wasn't true: We live in the wilderness, not Eden. This life in the desert wears us down over time, resulting in resignation, cynicism, and isolation. Our hearts cry out, But what about me, God? as we seek relief by arranging for our own personal Eden. It will never work—because the primary purpose of the wilderness is our transformation, which is only possible through God's presence and resources.

Encountering Jesus is a supernatural grace that replenishes our souls, yet many have never experienced it. How does one actually encounter Jesus? In this live session from a recent Wild at Heart gathering, Stasi Eldredge reveals our need for greater intimacy with Jesus and then gently ushers them (and us) into a personal encounter. Heads up—to engage in the encounter, you'll want to find a place free from distractions where you can be still and present to Jesus.

Wild at Heart recently held a gathering in Colorado for 2,000 friends and allies. Replenish: A Homecoming Event focused on the return of Eden—and what that means for us today as well as in the coming Kingdom. This podcast series includes six sessions from the gathering, beginning with John's opening talk on why our hearts matter, how the life of the heart is central, what comes against it, and the maturity required to protect and navigate our hearts in these times.

We've all experienced times when we're thinking of someone, and they suddenly call or text us...because they were also thinking of us. Or situations where we keep replaying a conversation with another person in our minds—long after it's over. These instances are examples of possible soul ties. John and Allen reveal how to know when this spiritual bonding is happening, why soul ties are unhealthy, how to break current or past ties (even if you're not the one making them), and why sometimes forgiveness is the necessary first step.

In the One Minute Pause and Daily Prayer, we're encouraged to "give everyone and everything" to God. That sounds simple enough, but why is this practice so essential? In this illuminating conversation, John and Allen share what happens when we pray these words, why it's good to release everyone—including those we love, and what can get in the way.

In Part 2 of this series, John, Bart, Alex, and Allen share stunning stories of the impact the book Wild at Heart has had over the past 25 years in America, Nicaragua, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, and practically everywhere else in the world. Early on, John and the team decided to "stay small and give it away"—a decision that has empowered men who have been transformed by this message, as you'll hear in their video testimonies, to then share it with others in breathtaking ways.
