Part 7: The Restoration of All Things
Session 7 dives into one of the most stunning promises of the gospel—the restoration of all things. John Eldredge explores how the story doesn’t end with our death or some distant heaven in the clouds, but with a renewed you and a renewed earth. Drawing from Romans 8, Revelation 21–22, and the life of Jesus, we discover that our deepest desires for beauty, intimacy, and adventure are not only valid—they’re prophetic. They point to the life that is coming.This session also unpacks the critical importance of hope in the journey of desire. Without hope, faith becomes mechanical and love too risky to offer. But through exercises and reflection questions, listeners are invited to rekindle hope, dream again, and begin to see how God is preparing them to reign with Him—not sing forever in the clouds, but truly live and create in His eternal Kingdom. Everything you’ve ever longed for finds its fulfillment in the restoration Jesus promises.
Part 2
Part 2 – 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 5
Part 5 – 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 3: Come All Who Are Thirsty
The journey of desire begins with the recovery of your lost heart. In this session, John Eldredge invites men and women to reconnect with their God-given longings—to fight a battle, to live an adventure, to rescue and be rescued, to be captivating and courageous. Drawing on films like Braveheart and The Last of the Mohicans, this teaching reveals how desire is not optional—it is the essence of the human soul. John reminds us that Jesus didn’t come to give us more to do, but to offer life to the full. When we bury our longings, they don’t disappear—they go underground and resurface in less holy places. This session calls us back to the thirst that leads us home.For a deeper dive into recovering your desires, read A Sacred Romance.
Part 2
Part 2 – In 2 Corinthians 4:1, Paul says "Therefore, we do not lose heart". But, how do we keep from losing heart? How do we live with disappointment and still find real joy? In this conversation, John Eldredge, Craig McConnell, and Bart Hansen talk openly about the things they face that tempt them to lose heart and how God is helping them to discover what Paul knew – how not to lose heart. More than that, how to live with a heart that is alive and free.

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.

02 – Warfare (Spiritual Warfare)
Part 2: Warfare (Spiritual Warfare) — If you look at the ways in which Christ engages others, you’ll notice he offers his life in the areas covered in this 4-part teaching on the Four Streams: Discipleship (Walking with God), Warfare (Spiritual Warfare), Counseling (Receiving God’s Intimate Counsel), and Healing (Deep Restoration). Christ wants to do more for us than simply forgive. He wants to restore us. Look at the miracles He did: The blind saw, the lame walked, the dead were raised to life. Through these miraculous stories, Christ was trying to show us something. Look! This is what I want to do for you! I want to restore you. Listen to this life-changing message as John teaches on each stream, as well as providing practical application.

Part 1
Part 1 – We are created for intimacy with God. It’s what our hearts long for. And that intimacy includes a conversational relationship with him. All of those wonderful stories we read about in Scripture, where “The Lord said to Moses” and “Moses said to the Lord,” where King David “inquired of the Lord” – are examples of what an intimate relationship with God looks like. God longs to speak, and it is our privilege to hear his voice. For as Jesus said: “his sheep will follow him because they know his voice... I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep, and my sheep know me... They too will listen to my voice.” (John 10: 4, 14, 16)In this unrehearsed conversation, John Eldredge and Craig McConnell discuss why and how we are invited into this closest of fellowships with God and how to develop a conversational intimacy with him. They share the centrality of the Word of God, but also how to learn to listen to discern the voice of the Lord when he speaks to us personally. Both are essential for the Christian life. Both are vital as we navigate through this dangerous world. Developing a conversational relationship with God will revolutionize your life!
Part 8: Desire, Endurance, and the Long Journey Home
Session 8 brings the Journey of Desire series to a powerful close with a focus on perseverance, character, and the long road between awakening and fulfillment. Drawing from Oswald Chambers, James 1:4, Philippians 2, and the parable of the soils, Gary Barkalow and John Eldredge explore why God so often develops us in hidden, difficult places—not to thwart our desires, but to prepare us for them.Through deeply personal stories and cinematic moments from Rudy, this session names the reality that our journey includes trials, testing, and pruning. Yet it also offers deep encouragement: your calling is real, your heart matters to God, and you were never meant to walk this road alone. The path to your truest desires requires firmness of purpose, trusted allies, and a willingness to let God do His deep work in you—even in seasons that feel like silence or failure.The session ends not with a tidy resolution, but an invitation: to trust God with the next step. That’s all that’s ever asked. And in doing so, you begin to live as if your heart truly is the treasure of the Kingdom.

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.
