THE HEART OF THE WORK
ORDINARY LIFE
IS HOLY GROUND.
Ian Pratt is an author, speaker, filmmaker, and guide whose work explores the Christian story, faith, meaning, masculinity, beauty, and the art of living a great romance. Drawing from Scripture, theology, philosophy, psychology, and the great stories that have shaped the Western imagination, he invites people to rediscover the Christian vision of reality as a living adventure rather than a collection of abstract beliefs.
He is the founder of Hero Journey, a formation community helping men reclaim their faith, recover purpose, cultivate virtue, and become faithful husbands, fathers, friends, and leaders. His writing and teaching center on the conviction that ordinary life is holy ground and that every moment offers an opportunity to become more fully alive to the presence of God.
THE FORMATION COMMUNITY
A PLACE TO
PRACTICE THE WORK.
Hero Journey is where these ideas become a shared way of life. Men move through a clear path of teaching, embodied practice, honest conversation, and brotherhood—learning to meet ordinary life with greater faith, courage, and presence.
ABOUT IAN PRATT
MY LIFE HAS TAKEN ME
TO SOME UNLIKELY PLACES.
I’ve drunk blood and milk on the floor of a dirt hut in Africa and consulted for global hospitality brands from an overwater bungalow in the Maldives. I’ve been chased by elephants along the Nile and by sex traffickers in Phnom Penh. I’ve washed the feet of witch doctors in Uganda and coached CEOs in corporate America.
I’ve traveled through war zones, eaten with refugees, built businesses, led community organizations, and spent twenty years leading men’s ministries and retreats. It has been a strange and wonderful life.
Along the way, I’ve seen extraordinary courage in the face of evil, sacrificial love swallow up darkness, and God renew entire communities through ordinary men and women.
I believe formation opens into mission: God forms us so that we can join him in setting the world right-side up again. My mission is to awaken and equip brothers and sisters for that calling.
These days, most of my adventures happen closer to home. My wife and I live near Nashville, where we are raising three brave young boys and a baby girl. We dream of revival beginning around dinner tables, during bedtime prayers, on family adventures, and through the ordinary work of loving one another well.
After all the miles and unlikely places, the heart of my work is simple: I love helping people find their way back to a deep and abiding love for God, for their people, and for the story God is inviting them to tell with their lives.
THE VISION BEHIND HERO JOURNEY
THE ETERNAL ROMANCE
Every human soul longs for a life that matters.
We want more than success; we want a life of meaning. A life deeply rooted in reality, animated by purpose, and connected to some good that transcends our struggles and griefs.
The Eternal Romance explores the great Christian story—not as a collection of ideas to believe, but as the true adventure into which every human life has been invited. It is a story available to those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, unfolding in every ordinary moment.
This is the vision that underlies everything we do at Hero Journey.
If you long for a faith that can make the ordinary feel enchanted, the difficult feel meaningful, and your life feel like an adventure worth living, this book is for you. If you want your days to be filled with both romance and adventure—not as fleeting emotions, but as a way of seeing the world—this book is an invitation to come home.
