Field of Dreams isn't a baseball movie. It's about a man pursued by a loving Father, haunted by his past, and invited into restoration he didn't think was possible.

Sam Ainslie has been on the Wild at Heart board for twenty years. He came to this conversation reluctantly. He left with something he didn't expect.

In this episode we explore what it looks like when God won't stop coming after his sons — through failure, resistance, and a voice that doesn't explain itself. It just invites.

Topics include:

• The relentless pursuit of a loving Father
• Why successful men still lack peace
• Accepting the mythic — there's more going on than you can see
• Why the final word on your most painful relationship might not be final

Everyone wants to be a champion. No one wants to get punched in the mouth.

In this episode of Men at the Movies, we explore Cinderella Man through the real life story of Leo Clark. On the verge of playing professional basketball, Leo’s dream ended with one injury. What followed were even heavier blows: the death of his father, homelessness, and more than 60 straight rejections looking for work.

But what if the fight is not punishment? What if it is preparation?

We talk about resilience, humility, rejection, asking for help, and discovering that the battle you survived may be shaping you for something bigger than yourself. This conversation is for Christian men navigating failure, loss, identity, and purpose, and for small group leaders looking to spark meaningful discussion.

If you’ve ever wondered why God allows the punches, this episode is for you.

At some point, most men bury the boy they used to be—not because they wanted to, but because life demanded it. In Disney's The Kid, 40-year-old Russ Duritz is forced to confront his 8-year-old self, the boy he thought was long gone. Pablo Ceron lived this story when a marriage crisis forced him to face the younger self he'd tried to forget.

In this episode, Pablo shares his journey from a mission-focused sergeant whose control was costing him everything, to discovering that transformation isn't about fixing what's broken—it's about integrating the parts you thought you had to leave behind.

In This Episode:

• Why we bury parts of ourselves to survive
• The difference between elimination and integration
• How wounded younger selves show up in our present
• What it means to bring love instead of contempt to our story
• The power of union with Christ in healing

Featured Movie: The Kid (2000)
