Part 1: The Disruptive Goodness of Jesus
What you believe about Jesus shapes everything—your understanding of God, yourself, and what it means to live a holy life. In this first episode of The Life of Jesus, John Eldredge unpacks why getting to know Jesus personally is not just theology—it’s transformational. From his unexpected humility at his baptism to his integrity in resisting temptation, we see a man who leads with love, truth, and astonishing kindness. John shares compelling stories—from personal experiences to the calling of the disciples—that highlight Jesus’ humanity, his authority, and his generosity. Along the way, we explore how Jesus defies cultural expectations by including others in his mission, disrupting false beliefs, and embodying the fierce love of God. This episode invites you to see Jesus not as a distant religious figure, but as the most remarkable person you’ve ever met.

Part 5
Part 5 – 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
Part 1 – Raising Girls takes us into a world of twirling skirts, pretty shoes and tea parties. This conversation explores the heart of a little girl from personal stories and from the perspective of parenting—what a girl needs, what she wants, and what makes her heart come alive as she asks the questions, “Do you see me? Am I lovely?” The stories shared in this two-part conversation are of brokenness and redemption, heartache and delight, and the beauty that emerges when the feminine heart knows she is truly and deeply loved.
78 | Simple Practices for Soul Care
Books and seminars and conferences and counselors and lifetimes are spent on this subject, and rightly so. But the truth is, knowing that we need to care for our souls, to seek stillness, and to be active about our healing is one thing, actually doing something about it is quite another. Sam and Blaine offer a few simple practices that they use to care for their souls, intentionally, because the alternative is a lifetime of neglect.
Part 4
Part 4 – When we discover what the salvation of Jesus Christ means for our own restoration, we'll find that holiness is an expression of the healing of our humanity. What a relief it would be to be set free from all that plagues us: the inner struggle with anger or contempt, the struggle with habitual sins. There is good news! 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. You will be relieved. Utterly.
05a – The Beloved with Lori McConnell
Session 5: The Beloved with Lori McConnell – Does God really delight in you? In this special teaching, Lori McConnell 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.

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.

77 | Quit Learning, Start Learning
We roped in And Sons strategist Jon Dale to riff on a growing concern. It’s education. Problem is, when most folks think of education, they think of mining textbooks for answers other people already know, taking multiple choice tests and reading dusty books, all because they have to. In short, we think of the system designed to make industrial workers for a world that doesn’t want industrial workers any more. In this episode, we discuss the alternative: how to love problem solving, how to fail, and how to love of the unknown. If you grew up (like we did) in a public education system that, however well-intentioned, remains rife with problems, it’s not too late to start learning.
A Holy Defiance
Joy is not happiness on steroids; it's the unyielding belief that sorrow and loss do not have the final say. In this second of four podcasts, Stasi Eldredge reads Chapter 1 from her new book, Defiant Joy.
76 | Choose Difficult Things
When it comes to our daily rhythms, we tend to drift into paths with less resistance and difficulty than others. Life is hard enough as it is, so why wouldn't we choose to ease off where we can? The problem is that that posture can bleed into every aspect of our lives, until we avoid anything that seems too difficult or like too much work. Sam and Blaine share about places they are choosing difficult things for the sake of life, their families, and God.

Strategy is an abused word for a vital concept. In this episode, we sat down with our friend and longtime pro-strategist Anthony Ashley to get to the root of the discipline: what is strategy, what’s it made of, and how do we use strategy as a paradigm to structure our world.
