Part 2: The Secret of Passion and Desire

In this session, John Eldredge unpacks the deep connection between desire and spiritual freedom. Using the story of Eric Liddell in Chariots of Fire, he contrasts a life lived from duty with a life fueled by delight. Jesus, too, lived from a passionate heart—not out of obligation, but out of profound desire. John explores the fierce love of Christ, His pursuit of us, and the permission we need to truly come alive. We are not God’s projects or chores—we are the object of His desire. And when we grasp that, everything begins to change.

Part 6: Intimacy Over Formula

Many Christians unknowingly live in the Old Covenant—believing their hearts are untrustworthy, their desires suspect, and that God primarily offers guidance through rigid formulas. But in this session, John Eldredge invites us into something far more beautiful: life in the New Covenant, where the human heart has been made good and intimacy with God is the center of the journey.Using the epic story of "Les Misérables", the life of King David, and the unpredictable ways of Jesus himself, John draws a clear contrast between life by formula and life by relationship. God is a person, not a machine, and He desires to lead you personally and intimately through your desires. The journey of desire is filled with mystery—not because God is distant, but because He wants to walk with you step by step. Whether your heart stirs with sorrow, fear, hope, or resistance, this session encourages you to bring it all to God.

01 – Discipleship (Walking with God)

Part 1: Discipleship (Walking with God) — 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 – With Lori McConnell

Every woman has men in her life—a father, husband, brother, son or even co-workers. And often, problems enter into these relationships simply from not understanding their hearts, thoughts and desires.

Through personal stories and candid discussion, women will discover how to care for the hearts of men by reflecting the heart of God.

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.

07 – Loving Jesus

Session 7: Loving Jesus – In this session, recorded live at Wild at Heart Advanced, John shares on the importance of Loving Jesus through every part of our life. Contains mature themes and language.

Part 3

Part 3 – 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 2: Unflinching Love and Intentionality

What kind of man is this? As Part 2 of The Life of Jesus unfolds, John Eldredge explores a string of extraordinary stories from Matthew 8–17 that reveal Jesus’ calm authority, intentional love, and surprising playfulness. From calming storms and casting out demons to navigating heartbreak after John the Baptist’s death, we see a man of deep capacity—able to engage enemies with restraint, speak hard truths with clarity, and still retreat for solitude when grief overwhelms. With unmatched kindness, Jesus extends healing to the blind, raises the dead, welcomes the weary, and even provides a temple tax coin through the mouth of a fish—all without losing his center. His actions consistently model a fierce love and unshakable maturity that defy religious expectation and cultural pressure. If you’ve ever longed to know Jesus more personally—as someone you could laugh with, trust in crisis, and follow with confidence—this episode invites you deeper into that journey.

Part 2

Part 2 – 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!
