  • I 1st heard of John Eldridge in March 2025 when a short clip about marriage popped up on my mobile. Then I looked for the longer interview with Matt Fradd. A few weeks later, I found the wild at heart podcasts, app and the pause app. I love all of them. I have enjoyed all 844 recordings. I have even repeated some of them and still got through all of them in 6 months. I know that was possibly too fast so I will be happy to repeat some of them.
