The Ancient Way Forward — A Conversation with John Eldredge

Hey friends,

What if your soul isn’t tired because you’re doing too much… but because you’ve forgotten how to be?

That’s the question I sat with during my latest conversation on Good / True / & Beautiful — and this time, I had the immense honor of exploring it with one of the great sages of our time: John Eldredge.

You may know him from Wild at Heart or Get Your Life Back, but in this episode, John and I dive into something deeper — the mystery. The unseen. The ancient rhythms of communion with the Divine.

We talk desert fathers, forgotten practices, and the unhurried wisdom of those who knew God not as a concept, but as a living Presence.

This isn’t some esoteric, monk-on-a-mountain thing. This is about you — making your coffee in the morning, sitting in the carpool line, staring at your inbox — and learning to linger. To be nourished. To remember the vine-branch relationship that never left you, even in the madness of our modern day.

You’ll walk away with two daily practices that just might restore your soul. And maybe, for the first time in a long time, you’ll feel grounded. Centered. Quietly alive.

Because we weren’t made for chaos. We were made for rhythm, love, and a Presence that meets us in the stillness.
