Over two decades ago through his book Wild at Heart, John Eldredge offered men the central thing they were missing: permission.

Masculine initiation has as much to do with unlearning as it does with learning. As much to do with powerlessness as it does with power.

Liturgy was intended to be a grace and essential stream to draw near to God and access the full breadth and depth of his Kingdom.

What is the path of inner transformation and becoming like Christ? Is such transformation even possible? Dallas Willard assures us it is readily available. 

Experiential therapy has been a profound conduit of the River of Life for me and for many; it is one of the great modalities of therapy and healing to consider in our toolbox for the restoration of the masculine soul. 

We turn to part two of a conversation Cherie and I hosted with our mentor, counselor, and dear friend, Gary Unruh.

May the action of our Coming King in you and through you refresh your heart and enliven your hope as you prepare and anticipate his Coming Again.

After being Gary's counseling clients for years, Cherie and I had a chance to host him on the Become Good Soil podcast.

It’s my joy to lean into the years of trauma-informed story work that my wife, Cherie, has explored for two decades. May this conversation be one more step for all of us toward the wholeness that Jesus offers in the marvel and promise of our embodied life.

It’s my joy to invite you into part two of the Become Good Soil podcast series on The Inquisitive Christ with our winsome, American-born, Irish-bred lady of the questions, Cara Murphy.
