Summary

In this episode, we welcome the great John Eldredge back to the show. He is a Christian author, counselor, and lecturer. He is also the NYT’s Bestselling Author of a large number of books, workbooks, and group studies. He wrote the seminal men’s ministry book, “Wild at Heart”, and has a new book out called “Experience Jesus. Really”. In this interview, we discuss what it actually means to be a “Warrior Poet”, why he is trying to convince people to become “Christian Mystics”, how being “Disciples of the Internet” is impacting how we view the world, why we struggle to find refuge in the Lord, how God can use our trauma to heal us, how Satan de-creates Truth, how the gender revolution is attacking Truth, our essential problem as Christians in modernity, and much more.

1:00.1	All right, guys, we've got a very special return guest to the show, and that is John Eldridge.
1:06.9	So he is a Christian author, counselor, and lecturer, and he is the New York Times best-selling author of a large number of books, work, books, and group studies.
