Why Resolutions Fail and What Actually Works

About this sermon

Every January, millions of people make bold resolutions. And by mid-January… they’re negotiating with a Twinkie. In this teaching, John Ortberg draws on wisdom from Dallas Willard to explain why willpower alone always fails—and why that’s not because you’re weak, lazy, or spiritually defective. The real issue isn’t effort. It’s vision. We don’t fail because we want the Twinkie too much. We fail because we don’t yet have a compelling vision of life without it. This episode invites you to stop trying harder and start living inside a bigger, truer vision of life with God—one where God is here, God is able, and God is good. Also, yes. Everyone has a Twinkie. 🙌 New episodes every weekday. 📲 Subscribe, like, and share to help others grow spiritually. One day at a time.
