While all of this is factually true, it somehow misses describing an actual person. John and Stasi live in Colorado Springs with their three sons (Samuel, Blaine and Luke), their golden retriever (Oban), and two horses (Whistle and Kokolo). He worked as a counselor in private practice before launching Ransomed Heart in 2000. John earned his master’s degree in Counseling from Colorado Christian University, under the direction of Larry Crabb and Dan Allender. John earned his undergraduate degree in Theater at Cal Poly, and directed a theater company in Los Angeles for several years before moving to Colorado with Focus on the Family, where he taught at the Focus on the Family Institute.
But their romance did not begin until they each came to faith in Christ, after high school. John met his wife Stasi in high school (in drama class). John grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles (which he hated), and spent his boyhood summers on his grandfather’s cattle ranch in eastern Oregon (which he loved).
He is also president of Ransomed Heart, a ministry devoted to helping people discover the heart of God, recover their own heart in his love, and learn to live in his Kingdom. He is about to finish his race now.John Eldredge is an author (you probably figured that out), a counselor, and teacher. In everything that is important, you won." He has loved God and people so stunningly well, through it all. As Stasi and I sat with Craig and Lori yesterday I was able to say, "Craig - you won. Hospice is always an unpredictable stage, he may have days or weeks left. A time to be born and a time to die" (Eccl 3:1-2). "For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. But at some point in life we do leave our frail bodies and step into the fullness of the presence of God. This is not defeat for the Christian, death is a mighty victory because we know that we do not EVER die. But there is a time, dear friends, for every saint to take the sacred passage into the full Kingdom. And yes - every route towards healing has been pursued.
