Hi there. My name is Jean Symons. I have the privilege of leading the Doxa Deo team. We have endeavors in churches. We have endeavors in private schools, in nonprofit and for profit, and also in training institutions. And we also are part of the City Changers movement that equips and teaches and trains leaders all across the world. Leadership is such a desperate need in society today.
Quality leadership is what this world really needs. So come on this journey with us as we share with you our discoveries. And may the Lord really equip you for a time such as this.
"We don't live for the love of God. We live from the love of God." That line has stayed with me long after I finished recording this one.
This episode is a bit different - it's me looking back over thirty years and trying to name the things that actually held. Not the strategies, not the highlight reel, but the anchor points. The stuff that was true in the crisis at the beginning and is still true now, decades later.
I talk about three things.
Living from the gospel instead of for it, which sounds simple until you notice how much of your life is actually spent trying to earn something you were already given.
Living in real relationships, the kind where people get close enough to carry you, and close enough to see the mess too.
And living out influence in the ordinary places, home, work, the people around you, not because you're trying to be impressive, but because that's just where grace shows up.
I don't have this all figured out, I still ask myself the same questions I'm asking you in this episode. Am I living for acceptance or from it? Am I actually sharing my heart with people, or just managing appearances? Those questions don't get easier with time - they just get more honest.
Maybe this one will help you notice the anchor points in your own story. Would love to hear what stirred in you.

Next Step Living: Wholeness, Limits and Letting Others Lead
“I cannot do everything. I cannot be everything to everybody.”
That is not always an easy thing to admit.
As we reach the middle of the year, I have been thinking again about the pace many of us are carrying. Leaders run out of time. Parents run out of time. People with good hearts and real responsibilities run out of time.
In this episode, I reflect on the humility of knowing my limits — not as failure, but as part of the journey back to wholeness. I cannot be the whole body. I am not the Messiah. I have a part to play, a calling to carry, and a contribution to make. But so do others.
I also talk about what I call “next step living.” Sometimes the question is not, “How do I carry all of this?” but, “What is the next step, and must I be the one to take it?”
My hope is that this conversation helps you pause, breathe, and ask God what is truly yours to carry in this season.
May it encourage you too.

Humble, Holy, Healthy: Why you need a Personal Wholeness Plan
In this episode, we explore something many of us rarely stop to think about: Do we actually have a plan for our personal wholeness?
We often create plans for our work, finances, and goals, but neglect the deeper areas of our lives — our relationship with God, our emotional health, our humility, and our wellbeing. This conversation is an invitation to slow down and honestly ask: How am I really doing?
Together, we unpack three important areas of a healthy life:
Holiness — growing in intimacy and connection with God
Humility — developing self-awareness and a servant-hearted posture
Health — caring for our emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual wellbeing
Along the way, we’ll reflect on practical rhythms like creating space for God, learning what replenishes your soul, managing your energy wisely, and building a life that can flourish for the long journey ahead.
Some of the questions we’ll wrestle with:
What would make my connection with God stronger in this season?
Am I aware of how people experience me?
What energizes me, and what drains me?
Am I building a sustainable life for the future God has called me to?
My hope is that this conversation encourages you to begin creating your own personal wholeness plan — not out of pressure or performance, but from a desire to live a healthy, wholehearted, God-centered life that overflows into the people around you.
