Abstract
John Eldredge’s Wild at Heart: Discovering the Secret of a Man’s Soul is one of the most popular works of contemporary evangelical non-fiction. Attending to the historical context of the book’s release and to Eldredge’s rhetoric, this essay argues that Wild at Heart represents and commends a distinctly “post–Promise Keeper” masculinity operant in twenty-first-century evangelicalism. Eldredge substitutes the Promise Keepers’ prescriptive gender rhetoric for a descriptive language of male self-discovery. Eldredge overturns Promise Keeper mistrust of secular men’s media and their view of boyhood as in need of supersession—using the popularity of Hollywood “guy” movies and the material culture of boyhood as prooftexts for his essentially “wild” masculinity.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
