John explains what makes a soul lost and how the truth about ourselves is the beginning of being found.In this episode (2022), John Ortberg continues exploring Dallas Willard's The Renovation of the Heart by examining one of the greatest barriers to spiritual growth: self-deception. Discover why the human heart naturally resists uncomfortable truths, what Jesus meant by "losing your soul," and how learning to love the truth becomes the starting point for genuine transformation.God doesn't reveal the truth to shame us. He reveals it so He can heal us.

Is self-esteem really the key to a better life?For years, psychologists believed increasing self-esteem would solve many of our greatest personal and social problems. But after decades of research, the evidence pointed in a different direction. In this episode, John Ortberg explores what Dallas Willard teaches in The Renovation of the Heart about the deeper human problem and why lasting transformation begins with truth, humility, and God's mercy.Discover why the Christian path isn't about thinking more highly of yourself, but about receiving the grace that makes genuine change possible.

Is self-care selfish? Or is it something Jesus actually invites us to practice?In this conversation, John Ortberg sits down with psychiatrist Dr. Rick Blackmon to explore Dallas Willard's vision of soul care from The Renovation of the Heart. Together they discuss emotional health, burnout, self-denial, and why understanding yourself is the first step toward caring for yourself well.Discover why true self-care isn't about self-indulgence, but about cultivating the kind of life that allows you to love God and serve others with greater joy, wisdom, and endurance.

What does it really mean to live by the Spirit?In this episode, John Ortberg explores Dallas Willard's understanding of the spiritual life through The Renovation of the Heart. Discover why every person is both physical and spiritual, what makes the human will so remarkable, and why Jesus teaches us to pray, "Your will be done."If you've ever wondered what surrender actually looks like in everyday life, this conversation offers a practical and deeply biblical vision of depending on God rather than simply relying on yourself.

What does it really mean to be a person?In this episode, John Ortberg explores Dallas Willard's powerful framework for understanding the human person through The Renovation of the Heart. Discover how the heart, mind, body, relationships, and soul work together to form the whole person, and why lasting spiritual transformation involves far more than changing behavior.If you've ever felt divided, fragmented, or like different parts of your life are pulling in opposite directions, this conversation offers a hopeful vision of becoming whole through the transforming work of God.

Can you experience God's peace while still struggling with anxiety?In this special conversation, John Ortberg is joined by his daughter, Laura Turner, to explore one of the deepest themes in Dallas Willard's The Renovation of the Heart: peace. Together they discuss why peace is more than the absence of worry, how acceptance differs from giving up, and why receiving God's love often matters more than getting everything right.If you've ever wondered whether anxiety means you're failing spiritually, this honest conversation offers hope, wisdom, and a fresh perspective on what it means to live at peace with God, yourself, and others.

What do you do when your life feels like it's falling apart?In Episode 4 of our Become New series, John Ortberg continues exploring Dallas Willard's The Renovation of the Heart by examining one of Scripture's most encouraging promises: "In Christ all things hold together." Even when our relationships, health, finances, or emotions feel fractured, Jesus offers a deeper kind of stability that circumstances cannot destroy.Discover how God's vision of wholeness, or shalom, provides lasting hope in a fragmented world and why spiritual formation is ultimately about becoming whole in Christ.Continue the journey as we walk through The Renovation of the Heart together.

What if the key to your next big breakthrough in business isn't in hustling harder, but in actually slowing down? If you've been caught in the cycle of go-go-go, pushing toward the next goal while ignoring how exhausted you feel, then this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast is one you need to hear. I'm joined by Sarah Watson, leadership consultant and self-proclaimed "Creator of Calm" at The Restoration Project, to talk about the power of pause in business and why slowing down might be your best productivity hack yet.In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, Sarah shares why redefining success is essential for long-term sustainability and how her own shift from constant striving to intentional planning has made her work and life more fulfilling. We talk about toxic productivity, separating your self-worth from your work, and how to create a business that honors both your ambition and your humanity. And for those of you leading a team or considering your first hire, Sarah gives tangible advice on what it really looks like to lead well (hint: it doesn't mean having all the answers).Whether you're scaling your team or managing it all solo, you'll walk away from this conversation with a renewed perspective on what success looks like in different seasons — and why letting go of "busy" is often the most powerful move you can make. If you're ready to stop chasing "more" and start building something that lasts, hit play on this episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast.SHOW NOTES: jadeboyd.co/slowing-down-to-succeed-with-sarah-watsonLINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:The Restoration Project Website@yourleadershipcoaches on InstagramYour Leadership Coaches on LinkedInFree resources at The Learning Hub CONNECT WITH JADEWebsiteInstagramJoin My Email List LEVEL UP YOUR BUSINESS + PRODUCTIVITYOrganize your Business Digital CourseThe Business Edit™ Coaching ProgramFREE RESOURCESFREE Double your Profit While Working Less MasterclassFREE Task Batching WorkbookFREE Weekly Review ChecklistThe Business Minimalist Blueprint WorkbookThe Business Minimalist Podcast Archive
