Becoming Like Jesus
Season Overview
Every human being is being formed into the image of something.
Our habits, relationships, media, experiences, and desires are constantly shaping who we are becoming. The question is not whether we are being formed, but what—or who—is forming us.
Season 6 of the Soil & Roots Podcast explores one of the most important questions in the Christian life: Who are we becoming?
Throughout this season, Brian Fisher examines the life and character of Jesus as the true object of Christian formation. Rather than reducing discipleship to information, morality, or religious activity, we explore the invitation to become increasingly like Christ from the inside out over time.
Along the way, we wrestle with questions of identity, attachment, love, trust, suffering, power, humility, freedom, and the nature of genuine spiritual maturity. What does a deeply formed life actually look like? How did Jesus relate to God, others, Himself, and the world around Him? And what might it mean for us to increasingly share His heart, mind, and way of life?
Season 6 builds upon the foundations established in previous seasons and helps clarify the ultimate goal of deep discipleship: becoming people who increasingly think, love, act, relate, and live as Jesus did.
