Out of the millions of men I’ve worked with over the last 10 years, I’ve heard everything from a deep disdain and animosity towards God and Jesus to a rich and abiding love for His word. For me, I fall somewhere in the middle as I wrestle with my own relationship with Him and towards my faith and spirituality.
And, that’s the reason I really wanted to talk with a huge influence in my life, John Eldredge. Today, John and I cover what faith and spirituality really look like, how the distraction era has hampered our ability to draw close to Christ, whether or not Church is necessary on the path of spirituality, why finding truth is challenging but worth the struggle, how the “Doctrine of Popular Culture” gets it all wrong and how, maybe for the first time ever, you can experience Jesus.
John Eldredge is a bestselling author, counselor, and the founder of Wild at Heart, a ministry dedicated to helping people experience faith. Known for his groundbreaking book Wild at Heart, which redefined Christian masculinity, Eldredge has spent decades guiding men toward deeper spiritual transformation. His passion for storytelling and adventure shines through in his writing, blending biblical truth with real-world wisdom to help believers cultivate a closer relationship with God.In his latest book, Experience Jesus. Really., Eldredge challenges the modern struggle with distraction and disconnection, inviting men to encounter Jesus in everyday life—deeply and personally. Packed with fresh insights, practical steps, and a call to reclaim childlike faith, this book is a powerful guide to hearing God's voice and feeling His presence.
