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 (over 870 episodes, hosted by John Eldredge) and Captivated (nearly 120 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. In 2026, the ministry is hosting "Replenish: The Return to Eden," a homecoming gathering at the Pikes Peak Center in Colorado Springs, and expanding their retreat to the Netherlands.^4 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
"This app is really, really nice! It's a very user-friendly app to find everything you need and want; prayers, blogs, podcasts, etc. I can't thank you, John & Stasi, and your team, for your precious ministry!" — Google Play review^3
