The episode you're about to listen to was released back when the mere Christians podcast was called the call to mastery

Now if you love mere Christians, you're still going to love these older episodes because the majority of each

conversation focuses on how the gospel influences the work of our guests. With that disclaimer out of the way, please enjoy the episode. Hey everybody welcome to the call to mastery. I'm Jordan Rayner. This is a

podcast for Christians who want to do their most exceptional work for the glory of God and the good of others.

Each week I host a conversation with a Christian who's pursuing world-class

mastery of their vocations.

We talk about their paths to mastery. of their

mastery,

daily habits and how their faith influences their work.

Today's guest needs no introduction, but I'm going to give him one.

Anyways, we're talking with John Eldridge today.

He's the New York Times best-selling author of Mammoth Books, like Get Your Life Back, Captivating, and of course. of mammoth books like get your life back

captivating and of course wild at heart

as I'm sure you guys have figured out by now I try to find three-ish

things to talk about that we talked about in the episode. I've got like 20

things that I wanted to mention here but I'll limit myself. So John and I said that we talked about

his work as a janitor for four years. Early in his career, I've been looking for a janitor to talk to about how their faith influences their work, and I found one. In John Eldridge. We talked about why the humility of emulation is so crucial when it comes to mastering your craft.

And we talked about the unique resources that Christ followers have that enable us to take wild risks, to take big swings at work and in life. This is a gem of an episode with my new friend John Eldridge. Hey John, thanks for being here.

You're welcome.

Glad to be on the show.

So I write in your bio, you're a big George McDonald fan, which I love.
