Why do so many goals fail, even when our intentions are good?

John Ortberg explores why lasting change doesn’t begin with outcomes or even habits, but with identity. Drawing on wisdom from James Clear, the apostle Paul, and everyday experience, we’re invited to ask a deeper question: Who am I becoming?

Transformation isn’t about achieving “it.” It’s about becoming a certain kind of person and allowing small, faithful habits to shape us over time. This is a vision of change that is patient, grace-filled, and rooted in God’s work within us.

What if today isn’t about fixing everything, but about taking one small step toward the person God is forming?
