In the Christmas rush, it’s hard to slow down and savor the season. The pace of things makes experiencing any sort of spiritual depth a struggle, but there’s a deeper, often hidden, obstacle more likely to steal your joy. John and Allen offer a powerful question to help you see what’s in the way of this Advent season.
Show Notes: Find the Wild at Heart Gift Guide here. The book John reads from is On the Incarnation, by Athanasius.

We’re receiving such good questions from viewers and listeners of the podcast...and doing our best to answer as many as possible! This week, Allen asks John his thoughts on a wide range of topics, including these: How do we pray for unbelieving adult children? When does a daily routine become an idol? What is stolen grief? When things change or look like they’re coming to an end, how do we know whether to fight for them or let them go?
Show Notes: The podcast referenced with Mary Ellen Owen is “How Can You Survive Without...? - Part 2” (October 20, 2025). Keep the questions coming! Send them to us at: [email protected].

In the series conclusion, Jon Tyson joins John Eldredge to respond to the statement: “I don’t understand how people can survive without...” His simple yet profound answer leads to a wide-ranging conversation on the hopeful and alarming developments regarding the body of Christ, how to restructure our lives around the priorities of God, and what will sustain us during the increasing global chaos.
Show Notes: The books referenced are 1) Great by Choice by Jim Collins, and 2) The Inner Chamber and the Inner Life by Andrew Murray. Jon Tyson’s weekly podcast—Church of the City Podcast—is available wherever you get your podcasts.
