Listen, and I will tell you the story of the Melik Ganadon, the earthen king, who ruled in the garden

when the world was young.

Those were the green days, when dawn grew like the grass and the voices of archangels far

off and beautiful the silver horns blown in the east remained in the skies of the world. The universe was cooling then upon the rack. In Canaan,

no tomb was cut. Oh, friends, we have a treat for you this week. I'm John Eldridge. Welcome back to the

Wild at Heart Podcast here in the week of October 23rd. And before I let you in to what we're about to do,

we are going to do what we always do, which is to pause and release the chaos, release the

pressures, release the fears, release everything that is shouting for your soul's attention already this week.

Whether you are at home or out for a walk or in your car.

Let's take a moment and let it all go.

Let it all go.

Just release everyone and everything to Jesus so that you can be present to him and

what he has for us here in this week's podcast. And then we always pray, Lord, as I release everything, restore my union with you.

Restore our union. And meet me here this week.

Speak to us in your name.

Well, the dramatic reading, I don't know if you recognize the voice. If you were an

Anson's podcast follower, you recognize Blaine Eldridge. Hey, Blaine.

Hey, Dad. Thanks for having me out. It's great to be here.

Oh, great to have you back, Alan also in the studio.

Yes, and Blaine, it is so fun to have you here today and can't wait to let people know why you're here.

Yeah, something about seeing you makes me want Mexican food.

I don't know what that is.
