Why do so many people still feel stuck—even after reading the books, attending workshops, and deeply reflecting on meaning?
Across psychology, philosophy, and theology, we’ve developed powerful ideas about purpose and human flourishing. Yet lasting change often remains elusive.
The Parable of the Sower offers a timeless insight: The issue is not the quality of the seed—it’s the condition of the ground.
Today we are surrounded by good ideas about growth, leadership, healing, and purpose. But insight alone does not guarantee transformation. Old patterns return. Progress fades.
Logoteleology suggests the missing piece is the ground of meaning—the deeper structures that shape how we interpret reality: our core beliefs, identity narratives, assumptions about responsibility, success, and failure.
If that ground is distorted, fragmented, or incoherent, even the best ideas cannot take root.
Lasting change does not begin with better content. It begins with preparing the ground.
