Whether you're looking for a daily word of encouragement, a guided prayer to start your morning, or a podcast to listen to on your commute, the Wild at Heart app puts the full world of Ransomed Heart Ministries in your pocket — free of charge.^1
Founded by New York Times bestselling author and counselor John Eldredge, Wild at Heart is a nonprofit ministry based in Colorado Springs devoted to healing the brokenhearted and helping people discover the heart of God.^2 The app delivers daily readings drawn from their library, guided prayers, blog posts, and two active podcasts — the Wild at Heart podcast (nearly 900 episodes, hosted by John Eldredge) and Captivated (125+ episodes, hosted by Stasi Eldredge). It also includes group messaging with events, note-taking that syncs across devices, media playback with speed control, and offline access for content on the go.^1
Beyond the app, Wild at Heart hosts retreats and gatherings worldwide — including men's retreats, women's Captivating retreats, Survival School advanced retreats, Fires gatherings, and Captivating Fires for women — with thousands of events held annually across 60+ countries.^4 The book Wild at Heart marked its 25th anniversary in 2026, and the ministry is expanding internationally with gatherings in the Netherlands. Stasi Eldredge's book The Ladder of Love (published April 2026, with a companion study guide and video series) explores a progression of growing intimacy with God, and the corresponding "Ladder of Love" women's retreat takes place October 1–4, 2026 at Crooked Creek Ranch in Fraser, Colorado (lottery closed; waitlist only).^5 The app is available in five languages (English, French, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish) on iOS, Android, Amazon Appstore, and Apple TV.^1
Why Christians Love It"Ransomed Heart has had a huge impact in my life and in many men around me. I've been tremendously strengthened through Eldredge's writings and the Podcasts RH puts out. This app takes those fierce, biblical teachings and puts them right at my disposal." — App Store review^1
"This app is truly a blessing! If you just used the pray section alone you would heap a HUGE blessing on yourself and your family. I challenge you to use this app for 90 days and see if it doesn't bring you into a closer communion with the trinity." — App Store review^1
