0:00.0	Welcome to the Wild at Heart podcast. I'm John Eldridge. And as we always do, before we jump
0:14.2	into content and story and things that we hope will strengthen your heart, we pause. We
0:23.2	pause to release the day, release the week, whatever, whatever has been clamoring for your soul,
0:32.1	we take a moment at the start to let that go and to allow the presence of God to come more clearly
0:40.7	to us. So let's do that now. And what we pray is Jesus, I give everyone and everything to you.
0:56.2	Everyone, Lord, everything, I release right now to you in order to find you and to find my own heart.
1:09.6	And we pray that our union would be restored with you. Restore our union, Lord Jesus,
1:29.2	restore our oneness, use this podcast to deepen our union and to speak and move and come to me

2:31.6	start to think it's all war or we feel the heaviness most of our days, I think we do start to lose
2:37.6	heart. We do start to forget what it is we even when we have to battle what we're battling for. Yeah.
2:45.0	Yeah, exactly. So let's come back to the love story and we are we're going to start a conversation
2:50.2	through several weeks and some dialogue and some some fun old actually we're going to go back and
2:57.8	grab some old conference material on the sacred romance that we think you are going to love.
3:05.2	But I'd like to begin with a quote from chapter one, the inner life, the story of our heart
3:17.4	is the life of the deep places within us, our passions and dreams, our fears and our deepest wounds.
3:26.7	It is the unseen life, the mystery within what Beakner called our shimmering self.
