Healing the Wound
At the core of the Gospel is Jesus' invitation of restoration. In this utterly transforming teaching, John Eldredge helps his listeners unpack the wounds that have shattered their hearts, and also offers a guided prayer—a journey of restoration by the hand of God. Discover the true promise of the Gospel—the healing of our hearts. You have never known love quite like this.After you listen to the Healing the Wound session, we encourage you to take some time to be with God, and reflect on these questions with him:1. Every little boy needs to know that he is deeply and profoundly loved by his father. He needs delight and he needs validation. Every one of us was meant to hear from our father the answer to your question: Do I have what it takes?2. Bring your wounded heart to God and ask him: Father do you love me? Am I your delight?3. Ask Jesus to come and heal your wounded places as a man, to strengthen you, so that you can live as the man you want to be.

Ask Jesus to reveal to you… Lord, what is set against my life right now? What is it that I am battling with that is, in fact, the enemy’s assault on my life?

Part 1
Part 1 – In Epic: The Larger Story, John Eldredge suggests that life, for most of us, feels like a movie we've arrived to forty minutes late. We find ourselves in the middle of a story that is sometimes wonderful, sometimes awful, but usually a confusing mixture of both. And, we haven't a clue how to make sense of it all. No wonder we keep losing heart. We need to know the rest of the story. Ours is a great story that began before the dawn of time. A story of adventure, risk, loss, heroism, and betrayal. This audio teaching is the Gospel like you've never heard it before. There is a Larger Story. And you have an irreplaceable role to play.
