How Coaching Others Changed How They Follow Jesus | With John Van Lenten + Jim Johnson

What if teaching someone else how to follow Jesus is the fastest way to grow your own faith?In this episode of the 100xLife Podcast, Rob Dayton sits down with two 100xLife Coaches from Santa Barbara, John Van Lenten and Jim Johnson, both longtime friends who recently led groups through the summer challenge.John and Jim share what they call "the practical side of abiding," the idea that following Jesus isn't a burden, but the actual blueprint for a life of health, freedom, and joy. They talk about why going through the same material again and again still uncovers new layers, how forgiveness and obedience are now backed by modern science, and how coaching others has kept their own faith sharp and accountable.The conversation also turns toward something Rob has been thinking about deeply, that love may be the one thing we actually carry into eternity. Drawing on the book Imagine Heaven and near-death experience accounts, the three wrestle with what heaven might actually be about, and how that reshapes what matters most here on earth.If you've ever wondered what it looks like to lead others through a process that changed your own life, this episode offers an honest, encouraging look at what that involves.You'll HearWhy John and Jim describe coaching as "the practical side of abiding"How the metaphor of being "a room in the Father's house" reframes obedienceWhy practicing the words of Jesus is showing up in health and psychology researchWhat keeps John and Jim coming back to the same material, and still finding new depthWhy coaching has kept both men more accountable in their own faithHow the idea that "love is the only thing we take to heaven" reshapes what matters nowWhat resources are available for anyone considering becoming a 100xLife CoachAbout John Van Lenten and Jim Johnson John and Jim are both 100xLife Coaches based in Santa Barbara, leading journey groups through Influencers and guiding others through the 62-Day Challenge.Interested in Coaching? 🔥 Become a 100xLife Coach → https://www.100xlife.com/coachingLinks 📘 100xLife Book → https://www.100xlife.com/book 🚀 Take the 62 Day Challenge → https://www.100xlife.com/challengeRecommended Reading 📖 Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper 📖 Imagine Heaven by John Burke
