Make no mistake, this is for the few.
Every man longs to be powerful. Yet how will we become the kind of men to whom power can be entrusted? How will we become the kind of men we were made to be?
Welcome to Become Good Soil, the comprehensive apprenticeship track for the mission of Wild at Heart. It is a gateway to the quest to recover the path and process of masculine initiation.
We’ve been waiting for you.
You’ve found yourself among a strong-hearted fellowship of brave men thirsty to experience the full portion of Rescue and Restoration on earth as it is in Heaven in their hearts, lives, families, and spheres of influence, and alongside them, a few brave women who are curious about loving the men entrusted to their care.
Curated over two decades and recovered at the feet of over 75 elders, Become Good Soil offers a unique invitation into the journey of receiving sonship, recovering the narrow road, and becoming the kind of man and the kind of king to whom God can gladly entrust the care of his Kingdom.
The invitation is for all, but as history teaches us, only a few choose this way of life. It has always been so. Those who do will become, by day and by decade, the kind of men and the kind of king whose hearts are strong, steadfast, and saturated in the Love and Life of God, and through whom streams of living water flow to their families and the kingdoms entrusted to their care.
To the few, the brave, welcome.
We’re glad you’re here.
For the Kingdom,
Become Good Soil is a nonprofit crowdfunded ministry.
Morgan and Cherie are devoted to supporting others in slow, steady transformation through apprenticeship to Jesus and His Kingdom, focusing on lasting growth, spiritual formation, whole-person integration and community.
Cherie is fascinated by the intersection of human development across the lifespan, relationships, embodiment and spiritual formation. She delights in experiential learning and is pursuing a Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree at Denver Seminary. For close to 30 years, she has sought to respond to the radiant gospel of Jesus and his kingdom in the grace and kindness of the Triune God. Cherie finds joy in connecting, questions, cooking, children, celebration, quietness, prayer, reading, imaginative reflection, long walks, long conversations, and making space for the full range of human emotion and experience.
Morgan invested 25 years alongside John and Stasi Eldredge, building Wild at Heart’s global mission, focusing on strategy, teaching, and leadership. Fourteen years ago, he established BecomeGoodSoil.com to support leaders on the narrow path of becoming people to whom God can entrust the care of His Kingdom. Morgan is pursuing a Spiritual Direction Certificate at Denver Seminary and has led discipleship events globally. His rule of life includes a robust rhythm of engaging with God, which provides the fuel to nourish his passion for marriage, family, redemptive community, and regular immersion into wildness in many forms.
Since meeting in 1996 on their college campus, Morgan and Cherie have shared a relentless curiosity about God and what it is to become a wholehearted human. Their greatest joy has been raising their two children—a deep-hearted, delightful, witty daughter and a joyous, passionate, connective, and energetic son—and supporting them into adulthood.
Become Good Soil, originally built within Wild at Heart, is now an independent 501(c)(3) organization. It offers deep discipleship through embodied practices, communal experiences, and ongoing training, guiding men and women in lifelong apprenticeship to Jesus.
