John Eldredge is an author, counselor, and teacher. He is also the president of Ransomed Heart, a ministry dedicated to helping people discover the heart of God, reclaim their own hearts, and learn to live in the Kingdom of God. John grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles and spent his childhood summers at his grandfather's cattle ranch in eastern Oregon.
He met his wife, Stasi, in high school (in drama class). But their romance did not begin until both came to faith in Christ, after high school. John earned his bachelor's degree in theater at Cal Poly and ran 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.
John earned his master's degree in Counseling from Colorado Christian University, under the guidance of Larry Crabb and Dan Allender. He worked as a counselor in private practice before launching Ransomed Heart in 2000. John and Stasi live in Colorado Springs with their three sons (Samuel, Blaine, and Luke).
