LIFE is complex, and the frustrating issues never seem to stop. BUSINESS is hard, with no easy answers and difficult progress. Living a life of FAITH can feel complicated, leaving you feeling uninspired and lonely when your relationship with God feels broken. It’s discouraging when MOVEMENT in your life, business, or faith has stopped.
This podcast is here to change that by focusing on the incredible power of stories. Listening to the experiences of others can provide positive, encouraging, and inspiring insights. Hearing how ordinary people navigate similar challenges can help you find solutions and feel less alone. Be inspired by real-life stories that reignite your passion for life and business.

The StoryField #108: Wild at Heart and the Crisis of the Masculine Soul with John Eldredge
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
John Eldredge joins us for a wide-ranging and deeply practical conversation about what it means to become the man God created you to be. We dig into the legacy of Wild at Heart, the themes that have resonated with millions of men, and why the journey toward healing, courage, and purpose matters so much in today’s world.
John shares pieces of his own story — growing up in chaos, finding refuge in his grandfather’s ranch, coming to faith during the Jesus movement, and realizing that beneath outward success there was still a deeper work of healing to be done. From there, we explore the core ideas that have shaped his teaching for decades: the masculine soul, the need for initiation, the warrior heart, the call to adventure, and the importance of learning to fight for what matters most.
We also talk about the wounds many men carry quietly for years: the need for love, validation, and fathering; the dangers of ignoring pain; and how anger, addiction, or passivity can often be symptoms of something deeper. John explains why healing is not just about behavior change, but about recovering the heart itself — and why it’s never too late to begin that journey.
If you’re a man trying to make sense of your story, a father hoping to lead your sons well, or someone who wants a more grounded and biblical view of masculine formation, this conversation will challenge and encourage you. We also touch on brotherhood, spiritual growth, the stages of masculine development, and how to build a life that is marked by courage, tenderness, and purpose.
Join us for a real conversation about the wound every man carries and the God who is committed to healing it.
