Part 3
Part 3 – There is far more to the Christian life than just forgiveness, and there's far more to the work of Christ than the Cross. Yes, Jesus came to die for us—an act of love unparalleled in the history of the world. But, Jesus also rose from the dead. And the power of His resurrection is what most people are missing in their lives. The power of real Life, restoration and healing. The power to live as we were meant to live. And there is more...Christ also ascended to the throne. All authority in heaven and earth is His, and He has shared it with us. That's how we triumph over the Enemy. Come and discover the power of the full work of Christ. The power to restore you, as a woman or a man whose life is filled with the radiance of God.

Part 5: Guarding Your Heart in the War Against Desire
Every great story involves conflict—and that’s because we’re living in one. In this eye-opening session, Gary Barkalow unpacks the spiritual battle surrounding our God-given desires. Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and powerful film scenes, he explores how the enemy of our hearts attempts to deaden, accuse, and intimidate us into resignation.Desire isn’t the problem—it’s the prize. Satan will do everything in his power to disconnect us from the desires that reveal our calling. But when we guard our hearts and learn to recognize the enemy’s voice, we reclaim the freedom to pursue the life God created us to live. This is a crucial teaching for anyone feeling stuck, ashamed of their passions, or unsure how to move forward in faith. The war is real, and so is the rescue.

Part 3: What Jesus Is Really Like
How would your view of life shift if you truly knew Jesus as he is? In part three of The Life of Jesus, John Eldredge explores Jesus’ personality, actions, and humanity through the Gospel of John—starting with his role as Creator and moving through rich, layered stories: his first miracle at the wedding in Cana, his disruptive passion in the temple, his nighttime conversation with Nicodemus, and his kindness to the Samaritan woman at the well. You’ll also encounter the playfulness of Jesus, his disruptive honesty, and his winsome capacity to see and call out what is true in people. John reflects on how Jesus’ humanity—his fatigue, compassion, humor, and fierce love—opens our eyes to what life with God can actually look like.This session invites us to shed distorted or stale ideas about Jesus and encounter the man himself—true, passionate, engaging, and beautiful. Jesus isn’t aloof or overly spiritual—he’s deeply present, winsomely disruptive, and eager for real relationship.To go deeper, explore The Wild at Heart Experience and browse other free resources from John Eldredge and the Wild at Heart team.

We can be set free through the healing work of Christ in our lives and be made more whole. In this four-part series, John Eldredge explores the beauty of the genuine goodness available to us in Jesus Christ and guides us through the process whereby God makes us whole and holy by his love.

Part 1: Understanding Suffering and Breakthrough
In Part 1 of Major & Minor Themes, John Eldredge, Craig McConnell, Bart Hansen, and Gary Barkalow engage in a raw and personal conversation about suffering, disappointment, and how to interpret the struggles we face as followers of Christ.The team explores the concept of two central themes in the Christian life—what Francis Schaeffer termed the major and minor themes. The major theme represents the hope, triumph, and restoration promised to us through Jesus. The minor theme confronts the harsh realities of living in a broken world: loss, unanswered prayers, grief, and disappointment.This episode is deeply vulnerable, as the men share personal stories of grief, including John’s reflection on the loss of Brent Curtis, co-author of The Sacred Romance. They discuss how suffering, while never God’s preferred tool, can become redemptive when surrendered to Him. However, the invitation is always to move through suffering—not to dwell there.If you’ve found yourself resigned to the belief that “this is just how life is,” this conversation offers a different perspective: a compelling invitation to remember the promises of healing, breakthrough, and the resurrection life of Christ.
