This ministry changed our lives and our marriage. My husband found the book in 2006, shortly after first read he asked me if he could take a weekend away to read it again. That weekend was the beginning of him finding his own heart with God. His journey led me to my journey and now we’re watching our adult kids on their journey. We’re finding our hearts with Jesus and this message you offer has been the bot only the catalyst, but continues to be a blessing. Thank you, we’re excited for this part of the Wild at Heart journey!!!♥️
I’ve been in this message for over 20 years and it has brought freedom I never thought I’d have as an ex addict and true mess of a human! Looking forward to Marc’s story
“We’re in a war. You need allies, you need people that can see you in the places you can't see yourself. I wanna be known, I need allies because if I didn't have them, dark would take over.” From the depths of all that I am, my soul says yes!!! This is next level story telling. Beautiful, raw, messy, bloody, but it’s the authenticity so many of us are searching for!
I just had a revelation two weeks ago about how there is a spiritual war going on. The Enemy not only uses our weaknesses to attack us, he attacks us through our strengths. The Enemy is devious and deceiving, and he will mislead people using their positive characteristics, not just their negative characteristics. He can lead compassionate and empathetic people into sadness and depression and away from God. He can turn healthy ambition into greed and envy. He can use one's curiosity to plant doubt that can lead to disbelief.
I love the soundscape - I can feel the stiffness of the leather in the scratches of the scalpel , the cellos sing of beauty and danger and I can almost smell the smoke from the crackling fire. This is such beautiful work and such a great focus. Thank you for making this and thanks to Mark for being willing to share his journey so publicly. Looking forward to this going live.
Such a great production! Mark, I don't know that you'll ever see this but thank you for sharing your story with us all. And your art work is simply amazing! God bless!
Wild at Heart didn't change my life but it deeply reasonated with what I felt inside but had never been able to articulate. As I've tracked with the guys at Wild at Heart over the years, I've come to see they don't try to educate my head (theologically so to speak) but show us the possibility of what a life of following Jesus could create. A heart felt thank you to all the team .
Came in with so much anticipation, leaving with my heart burning with passion and hope. Mark, thank you. WAH team, thank you. That was absolutely beautiful.
Totally amazing! I Praise God and how He interacts with us. Quite a few tears were shed - good and thankful tears - for healing and loving us just the way we are, formed by Him for His purpose.
Holy tears and filleted heart - parts of Mark's story is mine too. Well done, Wild at Heart! Even after walking with all of you for the last 15 years, this calls me even deeper into my own journey of restoration and healing. Strength & Honor!! Johnny Fontaine
Wow! Words aren’t adequate. A vision…a place that wraps your deep heart accepting birth, questions, wonder, loss, beauty, love, sorrow…and offers wings to travel through it all with a breadth of true, unique experiential love with Papa. Freedom calling…deep calls to deep!!
Thank you for this story, I can't wait to see the next ones!!! This book changed my perseption of being a man after having a dad too buisy to show me what it ment to be one. My journey is not complete at all, but I know that the book helped me to go on the right path. I am so thankful for it and will definately read it again a few times. Thank you for all the work you all are doing at wild at heart, you are helping changing the world and rising up men to what a men was created for.
Sending this to my father in law who is in depression and bitter because of his Parkinson’s and a life that hasn’t turned out like he had hoped. Tried to give him Wild at Heart book but he says he doesn’t like to read. He likes to watch videos. This is the perfect in road. Pray it will soften his heart to the Gospel! Thank you!!
I have Parkinsons Disease and I am 52 years old . I got past the enormity of it by continually going back to God and sitting in his lap. He tells me again and again "Son, its going to be ok" I may have Parkinsons, But Parkinsons doesnt have me. I will stand for your Father. No man left behind, Joel Ramsey
Wow. Even after reading WAH I never met another man who could put into words what I was experiencing on the inside. Mark's story just blew me away. So these feelings that I am wrong for feeling crazy, wild and fierce have all been a lie. This story was amazing. Thank you, John, for this.
Mark, I hope you are reading these comments……the “fruit” of your courage in offering your story to us. I awoke this morning processing in my heart what I saw your story I experienced last night. Jesus ambushed me with His love and healing. “Ambushed “ because it was so unexpected! Years upon years living under the authority of agreements I had made, demonic abuse experienced. Mark, you are a hero in the Kingdom! Thanks! Les, 78, now united with that little boy again!
I shared it a bunch….and gonna keep posting it everywhere I can. I’m one of the millions. Hallelujah….!!! Thanks John. Praying this reaches many more Men…in Jesus name. 💪🏼✝️🏁
This is incredibly powerful. My journey began with Wild at Heart, but it wasn’t until I discovered the Crucible Project that I truly unearthed the gold within myself-my shadow and my truth-allowing them to be seen and honored with grace and strength.
Lord, first destroy my envy, so I may celebrate the wild creativity you've given Mark to explore. I bless his hands and work. I bless the man he's become, living with you. It has been so hard to be an artist, never fitting the world around me. Between Wild at Heart and the messages of John's other work, and then hearing the AndSon's podcast with Mark, I feel a pull to be more this man, a wildly free and creative man, and yet I look and see myself trapped in the daily grinding of being sure my family is cared for. But Mark's story keeps popping in my life at times, and it breathes oxygen to the fires in my heart, reawakening the coals that keep getting smothered. Thank you to Mark and the team for bringing light to his story in this community.
May our Good and Exquisite God lead the mission of wholeness and holiness in this series straight into the hearts of all of His whom He has called ♥️ King of the Universe and Angel Armies, come fight the battle of darkness around us, clear the channel to allow all to find their Way straight to Your Heart. To begin to find and experience the true freedom found only in You. We love You Jesus, we love You Holy Spirit, we absolutely love You our Warrior King and Father. In Jesus Holy Name and truth the power of the Holy Spirit, I pray amen.
Wow. That's incredible. The crafting of the story, the space for it to settle, beautiful cinematography, the intense soundscape, the way the questions are dropped in, the way we are invited to discover along with Mark the truth of who he has been made to be. I was looking forward to this but I'm totally blown away. This is deep, penetrative stuff inviting me to be more curious about what I could say of my own story and how the forgotten and abandoned parts might actually be essential. Much to digest. Thank you all.
Episode #1 of the Wild at Heart film series is powerful, addressing men who need to learn essential lessons about the wildness of being a man in control of his life...with God's help. Excellent first chapter!
Mark, thank you for sharing your story mate, loved watching this, and in many parts, just listening to it. Story! What a powerful tool, testimony - even more so. Having the courage to share what God has done for you on such a scale is imperative to the Gospel. I believe this. To the folks, shooting, editing and producing this incredible video, thank you too! Wild at Heart also touched in more ways than I am able to express. I am forever grateful for the work John and his team are doing and continues to do! May God bless you!
Wow this was really good. Marks art is mind blowing, his story is one I can relate to. It was well filmed and edited. Beautiful storytelling. Looking forward to the next one.
What an awesome start . There's a piece of all of us we feel we have to hide and cover because of pain and heart ache of life we don't open to and share . It's a place we need to be vulnerable too .
Wow, what an amazing production and message, WAH team!! I was so excited to finally see this, and it didn’t disappoint. I’ve already shared it with a few close friends, and I’ll continue to share it with whomever I can. THANK YOU!! 🙏
Amazing story. I myself grew up with love for art and creating but have yet to find a way to bring it into the world fully. God and i have work to do. Thank you Mark for rekindling a part of my soul i have oppressed for years and find myself in wrapped in rage inside. I read Wild at heart in 2005 and it helped me a lot then but i know the work isn't done yet.
Gathering together the questions for a meeting tonight and figured I'd post them here also in case it's helpful for anyone else: 1. What is your most hidden fear? [5:38] 2. What masks do you wear? [8:47] 3. What is it to be a man? [15:26] 4. In a storm, what is your anchor? [32:00] 5. What makes you come alive? [36:55]
This book has spoken to me on so many levels. It truly surprised me how much just learning to be me is the most powerful experience I can have on this Earth. Be found. Be you. Be proud. 🙏🏻🤙🤘
For all the people who don’t want to live in the boxes others put God in ,,May this give them hope ,,,earth is my foot stool where is the house you will build for me Isiah 66:1
It’s really unfortunate that many Christian’s, when confronted with the depth of pain and searching aren’t prepared to answer. The answers are there but most have not plumed the depths to find it. It’s hard work. It’s the narrow path.
What an amazing story! it makes me wonder about how we envelope new people into the church. Is it a safe place for people to be themselves and be accepted for who they are. Are we making cardboard Christians out of them ? Lots to ponder. I recognized Mark's voice from the pause app right away. Nice to put a face to it and see the life behind the voice.
I am blown away… I have re-met our wild God. I had a Band of Brothers for a long time but I allowed a reluctance to face a truth to cause me to end my involvement. I miss them a lot.
We really enjoyed hearing Mark's story and seeing how Jesus has enabled him to be at peace with how he has been made and the wildness inside. Wish there had been more said about how Jesus heals that wound and brings wholeness, then I could pass this on to my non-Christian friends. Erika

Is my wife someone to see me like that? Or do I need a different friend to buffer her

Came in with so much anticipation, leaving with my heart burning with passion and hope. Mark, thank you. WAH team, thank you. That was absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful work. Excellent film-making. Powerful...powerful message. The whole team should be proud. I'm sure God is smiling.
Another Wild at Heart homerun... Outstanding, moving, and powerful.

Jay, perhaps you could let us know how this journey with your father in law goes? Hopefully, his brokenness will help him hear.
I have Parkinsons Disease and I am 52 years old . I got past the enormity of it by continually going back to God and sitting in his lap. He tells me again and again "Son, its going to be ok" I may have Parkinsons, But Parkinsons doesnt have me. I will stand for your Father.
No man left behind,
Joel Ramsey
Whats your father in laws name?
His name is James and I need to follow up with him since I sent him the info. Life gets busy - thanks for the reminder. Stay strong!
I would be happy to talk to him.
This is going to be amazing, may it go soooooooo viral!!!!
That was excellent! Can't wait for Ch.002 - Darwin Australia
Wow. Even after reading WAH I never met another man who could put into words what I was experiencing on the inside. Mark's story just blew me away. So these feelings that I am wrong for feeling crazy, wild and fierce have all been a lie. This story was amazing. Thank you, John, for this.
Couldn’t have said it better. Something is coming alive as I watch and rewatch this
Beautiful! I loved it! Thank you!
Mark, I hope you are reading these comments……the “fruit” of your courage in offering your story to us.

Mark, you are a hero in the Kingdom!
Thanks!
Les, 78, now united with that little boy again!
Yeah!
Beautiful, thanks Les. I'm with you on the processing what Mark's story stirs in my heart.
I shared it a bunch….and gonna keep posting it everywhere I can. I’m one of the millions. Hallelujah….!!!
Thanks John. Praying this reaches many more Men…in Jesus name. 💪🏼✝️🏁
So powerful! Thank you. Can't wait to see how God uses this to reach men's hearts.
Superbly Filmed.
Superbly Told.
Superbly True

45:46 That Brought a smile to my face, because later on, with so much clarity, is when we can realize God were in all.
To God be the Glory ❤️🌸
Above all else, guard your heart

Absolutely awesome. It brought tears to my eyes.

Absolutely amazing storytelling. His story had me immediately into prayer and my journal
Awesome Thank You!
My life with and in Jesus was, and is being transformed by this message - my wife’s too. No more religion, just Jesus, our wild one!
This is going to be so powerful…….
What an amazing story! it makes me wonder about how we envelope new people into the church. Is it a safe place for people to be themselves and be accepted for who they are. Are we making cardboard Christians out of them ? Lots to ponder. I recognized Mark's voice from the pause app right away. Nice to put a face to it and see the life behind the voice.
This was so inspiring, so real. We have permission.
Absolutely beautiful!!
This is incredible! Also Mark is cool as heck!
Excellent
Incredible!
I am blown away… I have re-met our wild God. I had a Band of Brothers for a long time but I allowed a reluctance to face a truth to cause me to end my involvement. I miss them a lot.
Perhaps watching this together would be a way to reengage and start a conversation.
@@WildatHeartOfficial YES!
Big Comeback time for you KJT!
Excellent !!
"It's almost like story is the last great truth we have.". Yes!!!
We really enjoyed hearing Mark's story and seeing how Jesus has enabled him to be at peace with how he has been made and the wildness inside. Wish there had been more said about how Jesus heals that wound and brings wholeness, then I could pass this on to my non-Christian friends. Erika
Wonderfully, wonderfully produced 🙌🏻💖
Epic. Loved this.
wow!!!!!! que nota, esta muy bueno
WOW!
So good!
Amazing!!!
This was so good, spoke to unseen areas of my soul
