Ep 135: Rediscovering the Good Life (GH)

What is the Good Life with God? In this first Greenhouse episode of Season 7, Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc continue the conversation from Episode 134, Rediscovering the Good Life. Season 7 is called Deep Calls to Deep, and it asks the central Soil & Roots question: how do we actually become people of depth? This episode begins by clarifying what the Good Life is — and what it is not. The Good Life is not ease, prosperity, success, comfort, or a pain-free existence. It is not “your best life now” in the shallow sense. Instead, the Good Life is the with-God life: a daily, relational, embodied experience of God’s presence, love, delight, and nearness, even when life is difficult. Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc wrestle with whether this kind of life is actually meant to be normal for people who follow Jesus, or whether it is only for “super-Christians” and famous mystics. They explore Dallas Willard, Christian mysticism, John 17:3, Ephesians 3, the love that surpasses knowledge, and what it means to know God in a deeply experiential way.

The Good Life with God

In the first Greenhouse episode of Season 7, we continue the conversation from Episode 134, Rediscovering the Good Life, and slow things down to explore what this vision means for our actual formation.

Jesus speaks of a “life to the full,” yet many sincere followers experience anxiety, exhaustion, and spiritual dissonance instead of peace and freedom. Why is that? And what does the Good Life actually look like when it is lived from the inside out?

Is a life of abundance, mature peace, deep attunement, and a two-way conversational, intimate life with God real?

This episode is especially for those who believe the promises of Scripture but struggle to experience them in daily life.

This episode continues the discussion from Ep 134.

Is God Partial? Spiritual First Class and the Love of God | Ep 146

What if you believe God loves everyone equally, but somewhere deep in your heart, you’re not so sure? In Episode 146, Brian explores the hidden idea that God is partial—that some people receive greater affection, access, or favor because they are more successful, useful, disciplined, or spiritually mature. We’ll examine how this idea surfaces through performance, suffering, comparison, spiritual celebrity, and our relationships with others—and how deep discipleship invites us to experience God’s love as a gift rather than something we earn.
