07a - Loving Men with Lori McConnell
Session 7a: Loving Men with Lori McConnell – Every woman has men in her life – a father, husband, brother, son, or even co-workers. Often, problems enter into these relationships simply from not understanding their hearts, thoughts and desires. In this session, Lori McConnell shares how to love men from a feminine perspective (with her husband Craig responding). Through personal and candid stories, women will discover how to care for the hearts of men by reflecting the heart of God.
Part 1
Part 1 – Our culture is one of fierce independence. Yet God's kingdom is not a democracy. In his kingdom, we are all followers first. This is why Jesus invites his disciples to… "follow me". In this extended conversation, John Eldredge and Craig McConnell share what it means to follow—and to lead—well. They reveal our desperate need for true Spiritual Fathers and Mothers who can help us navigate this world of self-appointed leaders. Each of us has a realm under our authority. Discover the high calling, costs and rewards of being a spiritual leader.
Part 4: The Life and Love of Jesus
What kind of man is Jesus—really? In the final episode of The Life of Jesus, John Eldredge continues through the Gospel of John, revealing the compelling, disruptive, and profoundly beautiful character of Jesus. From walking on water to raising Lazarus from the dead, from his profound grief in Gethsemane to his playful breakfast on the beach after the resurrection, Jesus’ actions continue to challenge our assumptions and stir our hearts.You’ll encounter Jesus’ kindness, humility, grief, outrage, and joy—as well as his unmatched ability to love even in agony. But it doesn’t end there. John unpacks how the same life that animated Jesus is now made available to us. This isn’t about admiring a distant Savior or striving to imitate him on our own strength. It’s about learning to live his life from within—by abiding in him, drawing life from the vine, and discovering the secret to the easy yoke.To grow in intimacy with Jesus and recover your heart, visit wildatheart.org and explore the Wild at Heart Experience or dive into other free resources from John Eldredge and the team.
Part 6
Part 6 – The Scriptures talk a lot about prayer, but we’re left wondering what to do with it or, more importantly, how to do it. At least, how to do it in a way that works – meaning, that it actually brings about change. But that’s what prayer is supposed to do! When Jesus teaches us to pray “Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done,” he means precisely that – that our prayers can enable the Kingdom of God to come for his will to be done “on earth as it is in heaven” – here and now. In The Hope of Prayer 8-part series, John Eldredge teaches us how to pray with hope and confidence. There are few thoughts as hopeful as the thought that things can be different. And so the disciples said, “Teach us to pray.”

Part 1
In the course of our days, we hope for so many things. But how often do we place our hope in the coming Kingdom? Doing so…changes everything. Hope is for our soul as breathing is to our body—we cannot live without it. Hope is how we thrive. Paul even says that our faith and love spring from the hope we have in the coming Kingdom of God (Colossians 1:5). And yet, very few people actually think about the promised life that is coming to us. Our thoughts about "heaven" are so bland and boring, no wonder we aren't bursting with hope! In this powerful five session series, John and Stasi Eldredge explore the beauty of the Kingdom of God that will soon be ours. Your heart will be filled with renewed hope and your spirit will soar at the sheer joy of it! But be warned. This isn't a series for passive listening…it's one you'll want to keep a journal handy and actively enter into. Through the sessions, John and Stasi invite you into times of prayer and introspection that will fill your heart with awe and anchor your hopes in the coming Kingdom.

Part 1: The Story Written on the Heart
In this opening session, John Eldredge invites us into a deeper understanding of desire—not as something to suppress, but as a map to the life God intended. Desire is not the problem; it is the wellspring of life (Proverbs 4:23). John challenges the false narrative that Christianity is a list of chores and invites us into a much bigger story—one filled with intimacy, beauty, adventure, and danger.He weaves together scripture, story, and film to reawaken what has been forgotten: we were made for intimacy with God. Our longings are not obstacles but signposts—pointing us toward a life of freedom and fullness. If this resonates with your heart, dive deeper by reading The Sacred Romance or reflecting with the A Sacred Romance Daily Reading. You can also explore these themes in the Wild at Heart podcast episode, Less-Wild Lovers, which unpacks how we settle for less than the life God promises.This session is more than an introduction—it’s an invitation to recover your heart and begin the journey of desire.

05b – The Beloved with Julie Golter
Session 5: The Beloved with Julie Golter – Does God really delight in you? In this special teaching, Julie Golter offers unique, personal experiences about what it means to be God’s beloved. For many women, it is difficult to imagine being a beloved daughter of the King. But you must take your questions – and your heart – to God. It’s time to ask your True Father, “am I lovely? Do you delight in me? Am I a captivating woman?” God wants you to know how much he delights in you. Far from being a fairy tale, this is the deepest reality of all. You are his beloved.
03a – Fallen Eve with Lori McConnell
Session 3a: Fallen Eve with Lori McConnell – Eve wasn’t created as an afterthought but as the pinnacle of all creation. Tragically, she chose to disobey God and distrust his heart. And still today, this deep distrust of God plays out in our lives. Women tend to express their “fallenness” on a spectrum varying between controlling and desolate. Lori McConnell shares personal stories to reveal the path from fallenness to redemption so you can become the woman God fully intends you to be.
