John and Allen conclude the First Quarter recap by focusing on what we believe will be our two most important podcasts this year. Together, they provide orientation to this moment in time. What does it mean to pursue the "All-In" Life—and why is that the only safe place in the world? John expands on a Narnia phrase to reveal that there's actually a second wardrobe door we must go through to experience the full Kingdom life. From there, John passionately shares why union with God must be at the epicenter of everything we are and do. The highlight segments are from our February 26, 2024, podcast (The "All-In" Life) https://youtu.be/sqNl2ojxBoY and the March 4, 2024, episode (Don't Miss the Main Thing) https://youtu.be/DTqYcd13mss.

We're twelve podcasts into the year. How many of those conversations are still top of mind? Probably not many—and that's not your fault. This world constantly overloads us with never-ending information and content that causes us to forget what matters most. This two-part series counters that, with John and Allen offering a highlight reel of the main moments from the first quarter. Part 1 focuses on tools for spiritual warfare and ways to defy the artificial. You can watch The AI Dilemma https://youtu.be/xoVJKj8lcNQ?si=v8_6c1hUzNiW0hCA&t=1 mentioned in the show here https://youtu.be/xoVJKj8lcNQ?si=v8_6c1hUzNiW0hCA&t=1.

We all need shelter, love, and safety, yet many go through life never having these universal longings met. John and Allen look at how Psalm 91 reveals that God alone is our refuge, rescuer, and protector—and what life can be when we embrace these powerful promises.

John Eldredge invites singer and songwriter Josh Garrels into the podcast studio this week to discuss his new song, "Watchman." It's a fascinating conversation about Josh's walk with Jesus, the power of music, and why John believes "Watchman" is the anthem for this moment in time. Show Notes: "Watchman" is used with permission and is available wherever you get music. The lyrics can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/a6jieso8z9o2t3pibp2ik/Watchman-Lyrics-and-Credits.pdf?rlkey=6f6ihgc4t11tx9sts5gsdcfx5&dl=0 The other song John referenced—"Faith, Hope & Love"—is from Josh's album Chrysaline.

In this week's podcast, John shares his most important message of the year. He reveals how too many believers have missed the essence of Christianity. We were created for deep intimacy with God. That alone is the epicenter of the Christian life—not spiritual disciplines, social justice, ancient theology, or community, as good as those things may be. The central invitation is to know God rather than simply know a lot about him or do a lot for him. The recovery of this daily relational intimacy was never meant to be optional. It is the essence of everything. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/DTqYcd13mss
There is no way to partially follow Jesus. In this week's podcast, John and Allen reveal the danger of divided affections, or what they call the "Jesus And" life. This approach never works— because we were created for Jesus alone to be at the center of every part of our lives. Discover why many settle for less than God intended—and how we can experience more by going through the "second wardrobe door". The "All-In" life isn't just the safest place in the world, it's actually the only safe place in the world.

In this second half of this podcast series, John and Allen dive even deeper into the clash between the real and the artificial, explaining how it is intensifying and why no one can remain neutral in this world of competing realities. They offer practical ways to navigate the chaos and choices before us by sharing the Five Tenets of the Real and Five Lies of the Artificial from Allen's new book, Risk the Real: How to Defy the Rise of the Artificial. In The Matrix, Morpheus states, "There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path." That's even more true here. Our goal isn't just greater awareness—but to actively step into the story God has created us for at this moment in time. Only then can we risk well for what matters most as we defy the artificial and pursue the real. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/6cl-xgzdWiE Allen's new book, Risk the Real, is available now on Amazon. https://a.co/d/inwdAP1
Every aspect of our lives is being invaded by the artificial. Yet we miss what’s at stake if we assume it's inevitable, neutral, or simply limited to AI. John and Allen reveal how the artificial actually has roots that go all the way back to Eden, when the serpent seduced Adam and Eve with a counterfeit narrative. These ancient roots entangle us in more ways than we realize. The more we embrace the artificial, the more we find ourselves in a "Partificial Daze"—a haze of anxiety, exhaustion, and addiction that numbs us to what matters most. Allen's new book, Risk the Real: How to Defy the Rise of the Artificial, offers a reality reorientation. Because there is only one antidote to the artificial—a wholehearted pursuit of the real where we embrace God as the Creator of reality and align with his intentions for us.
