    E868 | Crushing Chaos - with Manny Arango

    Is it possible to calm our storms, order our lives, and find true peace in this anxious, traumatized, chaotic world? To answer that, John and Allen invite Manny Arango—pastor, self-proclaimed Bible nerd, and author of Crushing Chaos—into a conversation about Manny’s chaotic family environment and his dramatic rescue from it, his first encounter with the Wild at Heart message, the downfall of pursuing peace over order, and how to see the Genesis creation story—as well as our own purpose—with new eyes. Show Notes: Crushing Chaos and Brain Washed by Manny Arango and Chaos Can’t by Allen Arnold are available wherever books are sold.

    E867 | Lies That Sabotage Our Lives - with Jennie Allen

    Many of us have been living inside a lie so long it feels like the truth. It has quietly shaped our identity, our relationships, and even how we see God. But there is a way to be free. Jennie Allen—bestselling author, speaker, and founder and visionary of IF:Gathering—joins John to share her passion for God and heart for the lost, the growing worldwide revival among young adults, and how her new book, The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe, reveals the three core lies everyone believes—so you can name the one running your life and dismantle it with the spiritual authority you already have in Christ. Show Notes: You can find out more about IF:Gathering at ifgathering.com. The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe by Jennie Allen is available wherever you buy books.  Keywords: Christian, Baptism, Prayer, Jennie Allen_______________________________________________ There is more.

    E866 | Your Questions Answered

    Several times a year, John and Allen reserve the podcast to answer as many viewer questions as possible. It’s important we learn how to partner with Jesus in every aspect of life—including our biggest questions. This week’s topics address how to navigate life with ADHD, whether God wants us to dream about our future in what feels like the end times, what is meant by the term “unholy trinity,” the challenge young adults have when parents or older authority figures dismiss their insights, and what repentance looks like, both personally and collectively.

    E865 | Wild at Heart Stories - T.J. Greaney & Kids Outdoor Zone

    Over 40 percent of the boys in this country don’t have a dad at home. The result has been a dramatic increase in drug use and school drop-out—with some kids averaging up to 70 hours a week in front of a screen yet only 40 minutes outside. Countering that trend is Kids Outdoor Zone (KOZ), an outdoor ministry for boys that trains and equips men to mentor boys through outdoor adventure. In this episode, John talks with KOZ founder and Wild at Heart ally T.J. Greaney about his difficult boyhood, his deep love of nature and adventure, and the inspiring origin and growth of Kids Outdoor Zone. Show Notes: For details on how to start an outdoor ministry for boys at your church, visit KidsOutdoorZone.com. Discover more about Wild at Heart events and Fires at wildatheart.org/events. The book referenced in the podcast is Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder by Richard Louv.

    E864 | Grounded - Part 2

    It’s incredibly orienting to discover that when we say “yes” to Jesus, we are now part of a great campaign—one that’s already in motion—to help overthrow evil, restore the human heart, and fix God’s universe. This wildly beautiful invitation, however, isn’t secondary. It takes priority over our personal plans and priorities. As this series concludes, John, Blaine, and Allen reveal practices for staying grounded in the larger story, ways that God is at work in the world today, and how the unseen realm dramatically impacts our lives.  Keywords: Christian, Podcast, Grounding, Spiritual Warfare_______________________________________________ There is more.

    E863 | Grounded - Part 1

    We love when things go as planned, but it reveals far more about us when they don’t. The exquisite beauty of life with God is that we don’t have to figure everything out. We have an intimate ally in the smartest person in the universe. What does this look like? John, Blaine, and Allen provide a real-time example as they enter the studio unsure of the podcast topic...but sure that God will reveal next steps. This isn’t just a helpful practice. It’s the only way to stay grounded in this shaken world.  Keywords: Wild at Heart, Christian, Listening Prayer, Spiritual Warfare_______________________________________________ There is more.

    E862 | Jesus Our Refuge - with Matt Fradd

    In this restless world, satisfaction is fleeting. Rather than chasing after success and validation, what if we began pursuing meaning and refuge? John invites Matt Fradd, noted author and host of the Pints With Aquinas podcast, to discuss how our lives would radically change if we took Christ seriously, stopped seeking false comforts, and found our true refuge in Jesus. Show Notes: The books referenced are Jesus Our Refuge by Matt Fradd, The Porn Myth by Matt Fradd, Restored by Matt and Cameron Fradd, and The Dumb Ox by G. K. Chesterton. Robert Barron’s video on St. Thomas Aquinas can be found on his website, WordOnFire.org.  Keywords: Wild at Heart, Matt Fradd, Christian, Podcast_______________________________________________ There is more.
