John's new book, Experience Jesus. Really., is available today! Order your copy here.“Turn to God with all your heart,” wrote Thomas à Kempis, “and Christ will come to you.” First thing every morning, I pray something like this before I do anything else:I run to you this morning, Father.

I run into your refuge, Lord.And it happens; it takes place in the hidden realm.As you learn to be an ordinary mystic, ask the Holy Spirit for his

In Grief and Glory

2025/03/03

John's new book, Experience Jesus. Really., is releasing March 4th! Order your copy today!One of my favorite Gospel stories takes place on Easter morning; it centers around Mary Magdalene. Heartbroken, devastated, Mary has gone to the tomb of Jesus to grieve, but his body is no longer there. Most of you have experienced grief; it is concussive, debilitating. Mary can hardly breathe, and her eyes are so drenched with tears she mistakes the risen Christ for the gardener:Now Mary stood outside

John's new book, Experience Jesus. Really., is releasing March 4th! Order your copy today!David was a hunted man. He often had to hide in severe wilderness conditions from his pursuers, who would kill him in an instant if they found him, just like many persecuted people groups today.Harriet Tubman had to hide from her enemies as she guided slaves to freedom along the Underground Railroad during the American Civil War. Her stories sound a lot like David’s; she, too, was a mystic because she

Sheltered in the Father's Heart

John's new book, Experience Jesus. Really., is releasing March 4th! Pre-order your copy today!When the author of Psalm 91 invites us to take refuge in the shelter of the Most High, where does he have in mind? What actual place in the actual universe are we invited to?The word for “shelter” in the opening verse (“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High”) can be translated as a “hidden place” or “secret place”—the very experience children are searching for when building forts: “This is

John's new book, Experience Jesus. Really., is releasing March 4th! Pre-order your copy today!Twice, the refuge of God is described in terms of rescue, or deliverance:“I will rescue those who love me.I will protect those who trust in my name.When they call on me, I will answer;I will be with them in trouble.I will rescue and honor them.” (Psalm 91:14–15 NLT)When we think about God as our strong tower, I think we assume something fixed and immovable, like a castle or those round towers in

John's new book, Experience Jesus. Really., is releasing March 4th! Pre-order your copy today!Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him. –Psalm 91:1–2I will tip my hand—the refuge described here is not merely a state of mind, an assurance for the heart. It is an ontological experience—palpable, enjoyable, an encounter with God. Our being

John's new book, Experience Jesus. Really., is releasing March 4th! Pre-order your copy today!For every beautiful being God created, he has provided a habitat in which to flourish. Brook trout thrive happily in cold mountain streams. If you were to put them in the warm waters of the Caribbean, they would die. Stingrays, however, love that warm salt water; transfer them to a mountain stream and they will not survive a day.Cloud forests cannot abide desert conditions. Coral reefs cannot

Jesus is Our Refuge

John's new book, Experience Jesus. Really., is releasing March 4th! Pre-order your copy today!When our boys were young, they would gather blankets, pillows, and cushions in the basement and build elaborate forts. This was their most-played game, a weekly if not daily affair. Once constructed and made secure, blankets tucked into sofas, cushions piled up as barriers, they would take refuge inside. Sometimes to read by flashight or share candy treasures, other times for imaginary games. But

Where We are Meant to Live

John's new book, Experience Jesus. Really., is releasing March 4th! Pre-order your copy today!In the dawn of our childhood, we lived with God in a garden paradise. We walked with our Abba Father in the cool of the day, in conversational intimacy. We were ordinary mystics, drinking in the rich company of God and the fullness of his Kingdom. Eden was our home; we flourished in the shelter of a paradise where heaven and earth met.But we lost that home, and we have been seeking refuge ever

As a friend said, “It’s not that we’ve done something wrong; something wrong has been done to us.”Discipleship to the Internet has shaped your soul to expect immediate answers to your questions; given you a deep

Breaking Free From the Practical

John's new book, Experience Jesus. Really., is releasing March 4th! Pre-order your copy today!The Internet has taught its disciples that there shall be no mystery to anything. We can get to the bottom of any question, lay open the bare facts to any secret. In fact, if there is mystery, we’ve been thoroughly discipled to question it. Mystery equals some probable deception or scandal. Facts are safe; nothing else is.The eradication of mystery would also be shocking to our spiritual forebears

A Pilgrim of the Heart

2025/02/12

First, our lives are not a random series of events; they tell a Story that has meaning. We aren’t in a movie we’ve arrived at twenty minutes late; we are in a Sacred Romance. There really is something wonderful that draws our heart; we are being wooed.But there is also something fearful. We face an enemy with vile intentions. Is anyone in charge? Someone strong and kind who notices us? At some point we have all answered that question “no” and gone on to live in a smaller story. But the

Precious, lifesaving, but fragile, in the way a coral reef is fragile, or a fawn in the woods. It is something to be protected.Your

The Meadowlark

Daily Readings by Wild at Heart ·

2024/05/31

The meadowlark has long been my favorite songbird. I love its song because it evokes so many summer days out in the fields and streams of the West. Its song means summer, hay meadows, long lazy days, fly-fishing. More than anything else, it has become for me a symbol of hope. The meadowlark returns to Colorado in the early spring, and as I’ve mentioned, that typically means it arrives about the same time our major snowstorms hit. What courage; if it were me, I’d wait until June when the

Hedging Our Bets

So long as we imagine it is we who have to look for God, we must often lose heart. But it is the other way about – He is looking for us. —Simon TugwellCan it possibly get any more uncertain than this? We so long for life to be better than it is. We wish the beauty and love and adventure would stay and that someone strong and kind would show us how to make the Arrows go away. We hope that God will be our hero. Of all the people in the universe, he could stop the Arrows and arrange for just

Do You Want to Get Well?

2024/05/29

The shriveled figure lay in the sun like a pile of rags dumped there by accident. It hardly appeared to be human. But those who used the gate to go in and out of Jerusalem recognized him. He was disabled, dropped off there every morning by someone in his family, and picked up again at the end of the day. A rumor was going around that sometimes (no one really knew when) an angel would stir the waters, and the first one in would be healed. Sort of a lottery, if you will. And as with every

Ought Is Not Enough

Daily Readings by Wild at Heart ·

2024/05/28

When the going gets rough, we're going nowhere without desire. And the going will get rough. The world, the minions of darkness, and your own double-mindedness are all set against you. Just try coming alive, try living from your heart for the Sacred Romance and watch how the world responds. They will hate you for it and will do everything in their power to get you to fall back into the comfort of the way things were. Your passion will disrupt them, because it sides with their own heart

Praying the Cross of Christ

Daily Readings by Wild at Heart ·

2024/05/27

“May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world” (Gal. 6:14).The Greek word here for “the world” we are crucified to is kosmos. It is quite an encompassing term, including all the inhabitants of the earth; mankind; the human race. It also refers to the ungodly; the mass of mankind alienated from God. You are crucified to that controlling mother, or angry boss; you are crucified to that church holding to

The Promise Fulfilled

Daily Readings by Wild at Heart ·

2024/05/26

It's undeniable: the new covenant, accomplished through the work of Christ, means that we have new hearts. Our hearts are good. Or God's a liar. Until we embrace that stunning truth, we will find it really hard to make decisions, because we can't trust what our hearts are saying. We'll have to be motivated by external pressure since we can't be motivated by our hearts. In fact, we won't find our calling, our place in God's kingdom, because that is written on our hearts' desires. We'll have

Fueling Your Hope

Daily Readings by Wild at Heart ·

2024/05/25

Where has Jesus come through for you? Really. Take a moment and remember. And then write it down. Remembering fertilizes our hope. It makes our faith burgeon and bloom. It strengthens our belief in the promises of God that He is good and He is for us. Remembering fuels our joy even when surrounded by thieves who want to steal it. Sometimes being a joyful person amid this crazy world seems impossible. Well then, let the impossible commence. Because one of the secrets to being defiantly
