Hello everyone and welcome to the Graceology with Gwen Smith podcast. I'm Gwen Smith and I'm so glad you

join me today. Around here we have fun, faith-focused, grace-filled conversations, all to help you know

and trust God more. Our discussions are honest, often humorous, and always practical,

and they're going to encourage you in meaningful ways to live out and lean on the grace of Jesus

in the midst of cluttered messy days. You got any of those? I know I do, and I can't wait to get

to today's conversation, which is all about getting your life back.

Does that sound good?

Sounds good to me.

Listen, my guest today is the legendary and very wise John Eldridge.

John's a husband, a father, a counselor, teacher, and president of Ransomed Heart. And he's the New York

Times best-selling author of the book Wild at Heart. And he and I sat down for an incredible

discussion about his brand new book, Get Your Life Back. The average American checks their phone

80 times a day. 70% keep it within reach while they sleep.

In a culture constantly barraged by information at a frantic pace, it is no wonder why people

feel numb and burned out. Do you know what I'm saying? The pace we force our souls to run as a

breakneck speed that is totally outside God's

original design, and it's one that consequently leaves us overwhelmed and feeling weary. Y'all,

it is time to reclaim our lives. And John Eldridge joins me on this Graceology episode to share

some personal, powerful and practical insights

that are going to help you gain some traction with all of this and move your soul

towards the healing and the hope honor it is to have you on the Graceology podcast. Thank you so much for being with me today.

Thanks, Gwen. It is a delight to be with you. Love your heart. Love what you're about.
