In closing Renovation of the Heart, Dallas walks us through Jesus' three-step plan for worldwide revolution: 1) make disciples, 2) immerse them in the Trinitarian presence, 3) teach them to obey everything he has commanded. If we get these, all the other details are sure to fall into place.

Oftentimes we confuse the "vessel" for the "treasure." For all the matters of how a church should be run that we dedicate our focus and attention to, how much of it really matters? What are the few things that we could say are absolutely important, and what else are secondary at best? Let's keep our eyes fixed on the treasure, and let the vessels take care of themselves.

Becoming the true children of light as so brightly portrayed in the New Testament is a real possibility for your life. When Jesus saves, he aims to save all of you. "God…If God thinks fit to declare the sinner righteous, it is in order that he may by that means restore him to holiness."

With all six dimensions of the self taken care of, and a firm grasp of spiritual formation, what's the point of it all? God's purposes behind our formation is that we would become genuine children of light. That is, we would have the likeness and nature of light itself. Or if you like, that we would be like God, in person and character. This is God's plan to set loose goodness into the world, through his redeemed and renovated people.

Thoughts, feelings, will, body, social context, and...soul? The soul is an organizing component of the self deserving of its own category. Your soul is not your heart, nor is it "you." But it is deeply important for directing the whole person toward Christlikeness. And it doesn't need to be mysterious either! Dallas helps us understand the soul and how to restore it.

We are all wounded by wounded people, and go on to wound others. The cycle of assault and withdrawal goes on. But it doesn't have to be this way. This episode, we talk about a few things we can do to break free of this wounding cycle and heal our social circles.

Thoughts, feelings, will, and body. These are easily associated with the "self." But what about our social context? Can the social relations external to us really have an effect in forming who we are? Dallas helps us understand this crucial dimension of our selves as social beings.

The body is every bit as important to the formation of your person. But what do we actually do with the body, along the lines of Christian spiritual formation? Dallas helps break down a few practical examples of what we can do to bring our bodies in line with God and his purposes.
