  • Many are familiar with Wild at Heart but few know how the ministry, originally named Ransomed Heart, came to be. It's a story of countless miracles from God, intense spiritual warfare, and amazing breakthroughs. In the first half of the series, John and Stasi share about the early, hard days of their marriage, their shared desire for a ministry of the heart, the initial plans to build a retreat center, how The Sacred Romance was almost never written, the unfathomable tragedy at the first men's event, the beautiful, messy start to the women's gatherings, and other significant milestones from the beginning chapters of the Wild at Heart story.

    God transformed my life through your ministry. Thank you so much for the work that you’ve done. Although I’m a woman, I’ve read all your books, including your men’s books! You were able to shift my mindset and re-introduce me to Christ and for that I am forever grateful for the work he has done through you. Thank you for surrendering and submitting to his will.

    That was a great set of stories:- anything worth doing is going to involve suffering, uncertainty and God's continual rescue before the sun comes out again ! Keep going .

    So good! I deeply appreciate your ministry. I’ve been following WAH for over 20 years. It’s been life changing.

    John and Stasi trust God. In difficult circumstances, but also when they might be able to rely upon their own instincts. They stop and ask, seek God's leading and direction. It is the way I want to live, but its not easy. It is learned over a lifetime, through repeated practice. I love supporting this ministry, and all they offer. There is no other ministry like this.

    I read The Sacred Romance in 2000 and heard John speak the same year. It changed my life and changed me. I’ve followed this ministry since then. Grateful for your years and years of work and dedication.

    I believe I first read Sacred Romance. My husband and I went to the Regal Theater in Lexington, Ky. to see the family motorcycle trip movie. We live in central Kentucky. I remember when Captivating came out and I bought that book. I have several John Eldredge books. ❤️Love Wild At Heart. I remember Ransomed Heart. Think on that 🤔 God ransoms hearts. 💞 It is so about the heart. I have several John Eldridge books. Glad you made this video and I want to hear more. Today we went to our local theater to see InsideOut 2 on emotions. We saw the first one too.

    That was awesome. I thought to myself while watching this, “She’s got his back.” Y’all have become a real picture of the original design for Adam and his Ezer Kenegdo.

    Glory to God! I LOVED hearing how God led you up until now! Not easy, either! Wow! Thank you so much, I just love & respect each of you so much; your ministry has been such a life-raft to me for decades! ❤

    John your passion and commitment to fight for the masculine heart utterly transformed my life after reading and re-reading W@❤ over 10 years ago. As someone who acknowledges how ensconced I was in the "Peter Pan" syndrome . . . today I boast in God in slaying passivity, pursuing the mysteries of my wife's feminine heart and fiercely tending to my son's young warrior heart. I will always be grateful for your ministry and team. Today and going forward I pray I can be a blessing to so many others as you have to be me and countless others. God. Bless. You. Guys!

    During the pause today, I saw my hands holding the reins of an old backboard wagon, and knew I had to release them. That's a new image for me, but I knew immediately that I needed to simply drop them, and let God move freely.

    Had the joy of hearing John speak in 2001 - after reading The Sacred Romance. Thanks for fighting on.
