Ep 22: You Don't Need More Self-Help

We live in a world that constantly tells us the answer is just one more habit, one more podcast, one more planner, or one more self-help book away. But what if we're expecting those things to do something they were never meant to do? In this episode, we're talking about self-help, self-optimization culture, and the subtle ways even good things can become functional gods in our lives. From productivity and wellness to "the universe" and "my truth," we'll explore why our hearts are so quick to look everywhere but Jesus for peace, purpose, identity, and transformation. We're not anti-growth or anti-learning—we're simply asking a bigger question: What are we looking to save us? Join us as we discuss the difference between self-improvement and surrender, why self-help has a ceiling, and how the gospel offers something no book, routine, or mindset ever could: a new heart. Key Takeaway: Self-help can improve your habits, but only Jesus can transform your heart.
