Summary

Starting this year, we’ll occasionally offer Wild at Heart Stories—spotlighting allies who are spreading this message within their communities and around the world in unique ways. To kick things off, Jan Janura talks with John about the profound impact reading Wild at Heart had on his life. But the story doesn’t end there. For more than 25 years, Jan has held world-class fly fishing retreats for men—called The Wild Adventure—at an 1,100 acre ranch wilderness preserve on the Madison River in Montana. Get ready for a conversation that’ll stir your heart for greater adventure...and more of God!
Show Notes: For details on how you can register for one of Jan Janura’s Wild Adventure fly-fishing retreats, visit https://twa.us/about.html. The two books referenced are Escape From Reason by Francis Schaeffer and Epic by John Eldredge.
