Summary
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.
