39. Why Your Soul Needs Something Technology Can't Give | John Ortberg

Our devices promise constant connection, but too often, they leave us isolated, anxious, and spiritually numb. When we lose signal or misplace a phone, we feel unmoored, unable to navigate, communicate, or find joy. That’s the invitation at the heart of today’s reflection: to ask, Am I truly connected? Not to Wi-Fi, but to God, to my values, to the people I love. Technology can serve connection, but it cannot substitute for it. We were made for something deeper. Become New is here to help yo...

38. Today, Live with an Abundance Mindset | John Ortberg

Life’s greatest lessons often come from unexpected places. In today’s devo, John tells a story of a little boy in a developing village who hears about tithing for the first time. After giving a single fish to his teacher, he responds to the question “Where are the other nine?” with something unforgettable: “Oh, they’re still in the river. I’m going to go catch them now.” That is how faith responds. It’s a childlike confidence that God’s provision isn’t scarce or hidden, but abundant, always f...

37. Entering Into the Wonders of Life | John Ortberg

When was the last time you were genuinely wowed? With all the content we consume on the daily it’s getting more and more difficult to find these moments of amazement. But the truth is that we were made to be astonished. Whenever we neglect that part of who we are our souls shrink a little. Psychologist Jonathan Haidt observes that screen addiction damages our capacity for transcendence. His research and others' affirm what the Bible has been talking about for millennia: the heavens are tellin...

36. The Most Powerful form of Learning Known to the Human Race | John Ortberg

We learn through imitation. This is why we have role models and icons. Those who have gone before us and shown us what’s possible. Whether we know it or not, we are followers first. The Apostle John talks about this in 3 John, where he writes, “Do not imitate what is evil but what is good.” In other words, you will imitate what you watch, so watch wisely. From spiritual mentors to social media influencers, the people and patterns we imitate form our character and ultimately how we make our wa...

35. Why You Should Bless What You Dread | John Ortberg

Today’s We Should Get Out More brings us to this phrase, straight from Dallas Willard: Bless what you dread. We were blessed by God and we are made to be a blessing. For fun and to put this into perspective, we’re taking a lesson from the Hokey Pokey song and applying it to blessing others: you put your whole self in. (Sing it with us: You put your right foot in, take your right foot out…) To truly bless is to do so intentionally and with your whole heart and spirit. The very act of blessing ...

33. When Trying Harder Just Isn't Enough | John Ortberg

Have you ever felt like you wanted to change… but couldn’t? Sometimes, change isn’t possible by the flesh alone. True change is often only available with God’s help.

32. Recovering Personhood in a World of Technology | Andy Crouch & John Ortberg

Today’s episode of We Should Get Out More features an interview with Andy Crouch, one of the central thought leaders of this series, whose work we’ve been studying together. He’s a partner for theology and culture at Praxis and the author of several books like “The Tech-Wise Family” and “The Life We’re Looking For.” Today, Andy and John discuss the intersection of technology and human flourishing. Tune in for a chat about how our “glowing rectangles” (as Andy refers to smartphones) are someti...

31. How Tech Can Serve the Gospel | John Ortberg & Pat Gelsinger

Today, as we continue through We Should Get Out More, we’re talking tech, but not just the usual doom-scroll warnings. John sits down with Pat Gelsinger, a tech mogul and lifelong follower of Jesus, to talk about how faith and technology don’t have to live in separate worlds. In fact, Pat argues this moment in history is a “Gutenberg moment”: a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the Church to use technology to spread goodness, beauty, and truth. So instead of running from it, what if we ste...

30. Self-Control According to Dallas Willard | John Ortberg

What is self-control? Is it trying through blood, sweat, and tears to make ourselves miserable? Maybe not. Maybe, a miserable life of constant resistance isn’t a God shaped life. The Apostle Paul calls self-control the final fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5), not because it’s least important, but perhaps because (maybe) it takes the longest to grow. At its core, self-control is about spiritual renovation. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time. 📲 For daily al...

29. When Your Soul Stops Singing: Try This | John & Nancy Ortberg

Reality is where life happens. It’s where we learn, fail, love, and find hope. It in our nature to be out in nature. On a quiet deck in the presence of birds, dogs, and laughter. We’ve said it a lot in this series, but we will keep saying it, “We Need to Get Out More.” Not just for exercise or aesthetics, but for spiritual formation. Today John and Nancy have a conversation about a recent hike in Yosemite’s Vernal Falls. The grandeur was recalibrating to the soul. Nature, with all its gratuit...

28. Comfort Is What You Crave When You Lose Your Purpose | Tiffany Staman & John Ortberg

When Tiffany and her husband Cam moved across the country to pursue their dream of running a mountain camp, they had no idea what was waiting for them. A financial crisis, a pandemic, wildfires, floods, and windstorms. They had to deal with one disaster after another. Each event felt like a reason to give up. But looking back, those same struggles became the soil where deep spiritual resilience took root. Instead of running from discomfort, they stayed and as a result they witnessed God bring...

27. The Risk of an Un-Risky Life | John Ortberg

God didn’t design us to live behind glass, protected, isolated, or untouched by risk. That’s the danger of our screen-saturated, control-craving world: we can build an “unrisky life” that appears safe but leaves our spirits weak. John draws out a striking metaphor from Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation, where he talks about trees planted in a perfectly controlled environment that grew fast but fell before maturity because they lacked the stress and strain of wind. Without this stress, t...

26. The Opposite of Cyberbullying | John Ortberg

Sometimes the best theology is found on the back deck. A small bird on a simple patrol caught the attention of a friend, and in that moment the truth came to light. That mockingbird, later named “Jabez,” seemed to be extending its reach, enlarging its territory. And just like that, we’re reminded of a prayer tucked quietly into 1 Chronicles 4:10, a prayer that asks God not for riches or comfort, but for blessing, for growth, for protection, and for freedom from pain. But it’s not self-centere...
