Reminder: show up and do the thing. Confidence will be your result and your reward.

Those people who truly accept themselves do not require the acceptance and affirmation of approval. As heart-centred leaders we are called to love ourselves and our neighbour, building a greater capacity to accept others as we no longer reject ourselves. Let this be our heartprint.

On episode 248 I am joined by John Eldredge. John is an author, a counsellor, and a teacher. He is also president of Wild at Heart, a ministry devoted to helping people discover the heart of God, recover their own hearts in God's love, and learn to live in God's Kingdom.   John grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles (which he hated), and spent his boyhood summers on his grandfather’s cattle ranch in eastern Oregon (which he loved). John met his wife, Stasi, in high school (in drama class). But their romance did not begin until they each came to faith in Christ, after high school.   John earned his undergraduate degree in Theatre at Cal Poly, and directed a theatre company in Los Angeles for several years before moving to Colorado with Focus on the Family, where he taught at the Focus on the Family Institute.   John earned his master’s degree in Counselling from Colorado Christian University, under the direction of Larry Crabb and Dan Allender. He worked as a counsellor in private practice before launching Wild at Heart in 2000. John and Stasi live in Colorado Springs with their three sons (Samuel, Blaine, and Luke), their golden retriever (Oban), and two horses (Whistle and Kokolo).   While all of this is factually true, it somehow misses describing an actual person. He loves the outdoors passionately, and all beauty, Shakespeare, bow hunting, a good cigar, anything having to do with adventure, poetry, March Madness, working in the shop, fly fishing, classic rock, the Tetons, fish tacos, George MacDonald, green tea, buffalo steaks, dark chocolate, wild and open places, horses running, and too much more to name.   In this episode you will hear: 00:00 intro 02:58 why don’t need another men’s book04:48 the stages of the masculine journey - the boy, cowboy, warrior, lover, king, and sage08:08 the two fundamental needs of little boys10:08 it is important to discover for yourself that you have got what it takes14:08 a cry for a father's engagement18:38 Ryan’s testimony23:08 why can’t we trust men?26:58 the cure for the narcissistic life28:48 Christ the Warrior32:38 the tools of the enemy38:58 you need to tell each other your story42:08 getting hooked up to the one who knows you best and loves you most45:38 God heals trauma50:18 John’s Heartprint   Those with ears, let them hear.   Always love Ryan     Connect with John Website: https://wildatheart.org/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/wildatheart/ Podcast: https://wildatheart.org/podcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/LoveGodLiveFree Books: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Books-John-Eldredge/s?rh=n%3A266239%2Cp_27%3AJohn+Eldredge    Connect with Always Better than Yesterday Website: https://abty.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alwaysbetterthanyesterdayuk/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/abty/ Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/weareabty Join our mail list here for exclusive content here: https://abty.co.uk/contact     Sign up for our coaching here: https://abty.co.uk/coaching Thank you to our sponsors MattMedia Online Marketing and Exhale Healthy Coffee.   Matt Media are an independent agency who specialise in content marketing helping business owners get their message seen by the right audience.   If you want to get your business seen through the power of social media, head to https://mattmedia.online/     Exhale is the first coffee to be sourced, roasted and lab tested specifically to maximise its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potency.   An independent lab test showed one cup of Exhale coffee has the same antioxidant power as 1.8kg of blueberries or 55 oranges!   Get £10 off your first bag when you visit https://exhalecoffee.com/abty   Please email your questions and comments to podcast@abty.co.uk   #JohnEldredge #WildatHeart #Masculinity #JesusChrist  

Note to my younger self... the hierarchy isn't the problem. The spirit of the leader is the problem. Let's be the types of leader who uses our power to protect people rather use our power over people.

As heart-centred leaders, it is not defeat that should concern us, but success. Defeat is an inward opportunity to grow. Success is an inward opportunity to ground.
