Video Study | Experience Jesus. Really. By John Eldredgeਨਮੂਨਾ

The Wonders of God's Kingdom
At the start of this journey, we took a risk—calling the normal Christian life mystical. Now, we take an even greater risk: believing that so much more is available to us in God’s Kingdom.
The saints of old called it succor and consolation—the deep ministry of Jesus through Kingdom experiences. Sometimes, a single word from Christ, spoken in an intimate moment, can carry us through unbearable suffering.
We were made to live in two realities—the natural and the spiritual. Just as a frog thrives in both water and land, we need both to flourish. As Jesus said, “People do not live by bread alone” (Matthew 4:4). We need God Himself.
In this session, we’ll explore the deeper resources of His Kingdom—the river of life, the breath of God, the presence that sustains us. Not for sensational experiences, but for sustenance, strength, and healing.
We need the river of life in us. The breath of God in us. His angels around us. His shelter over us.
The goal isn’t to chase supernatural moments. The goal is union with God.
And there is so much more.
Reflect
- Jesus invites us to drink from His river of life (John 7:37–38). How can this replenish the areas where you feel most drained?
- The breath of God both fills and protects us. Where do you need His breath to bring life or shield you from darkness right now?
- The goal of an ordinary mystic isn’t chasing extraordinary encounters—it’s union with God. Why is this distinction so important for those seeking more of Jesus?
There is so much more.
This 5-day journey was just the beginning. If this study has stirred something in you, there are deeper waters to explore.
- Immerse yourself further with the book Experience Jesus. Really.
- Go deeper with friends using the Experience Jesus. Really. Study Guide.
- Discover the Experience Jesus program on the Pause App for guided daily encounters with God.

About this Plan

In this five-part video series (each ~20 minutes), John Eldredge invites you on a journey—not to gain more knowledge, but to experience Jesus in a way that transforms your everyday life. We live in a world that constantly pulls us away from the life we were made for, bombarding us with noise, distractions, and anxiety. But Jesus offers something radically different—refuge, strength, and wonder through daily encounters with Him. Through these sessions, you’ll rediscover the reality of God’s presence, learn to take shelter in Him, and step into the deeper life you were created for.
