Episode notes
Soul As The Integrative Core
- Dave Lomas defines the soul as the deepest part of you that integrates will, mind, and body.
- Losing the soul means losing the integrative center that makes life coherent and meaningful.
Will Is Central But Fragile
- The will sits at the core and is our capacity to choose and exercise dominion in the world.
- Willpower is limited and excels in major commitments but fails to override embedded habits.
Surrender Refreshes The Will
- Surrender enlivens the will because it was made to surrender to God, not merely exert constant self-control.
- Choose surrender over relentless willpower to refresh and strengthen your inner life.
