Episode 421 - RTS Classic Conversation: John Eldredge, “A Thirsty Man Looking for a Well”

This is a classic conversation. Michael traveled to the Ransomed Heart outpost in Colorado Springs and sat down with John Eldredge to talk about restoration: what it is, why the heart is central to it, and what the Christian life is actually supposed to do for a person.

John explains why the pace of modern life traumatizes people —and why the graces available to heal the soul are closer than we think. He and Michael discuss the difference between chasing holiness as a moral standard out there versus discovering it as something that flows naturally from a restored being. They read from John’s 365-day devotional, Restoration Year—a passage that asks one question: What is Christianity supposed to do to a person? John answers not with doctrine, but with a vision of wholeness and holiness through love. The episode ends with John’s final word to anyone who suspects God is less good than advertised: he loves more than you think he does, and most of what you’ve been told about him is dead wrong.
