Summary
John Eldredge is an author, counselor and teacher. His books have sold over 16 million worldwide. Wild at Heart as a ministry has exploded in impact, but I love how John has followed God’s instruction to keep the organisation small and give it all away. Staying humble, rooted in community, and listening to God’s voice have been the keys to longevity in fruitful ministry through the decades where many others have been taken out. Who indeed would have guessed that this former drug-fueled delinquent raised by alcoholics, kicked out of school, and with a criminal record, would be transformed into a healing voice used to lead many people across the globe back to a healthy relationship with their heavenly Father? Only God! There’s lots of gold in this great conversation!
