Ep 111: The Desperate Need for Deep People (GH)

What makes a person spiritually deep? In this Greenhouse episode, Brian and Handsome Kyle continue the conversation from Episode 110, “The Desperate Need for Deep People.” That bonus episode defined a deep person as someone increasingly awake and attuned to God, self, others, creation, and culture. Episode 111 presses further into what that actually means. Brian and Handsome Kyle explore why spiritual depth is not the same as theological knowledge, religious activity, church involvement, or having impressive answers. A deep person is someone who listens beneath the surface — to the heart of God, to their own heart, to the hearts of others, and to the world God has made. The conversation also returns to one of the most neglected themes in modern discipleship: self-knowledge. Drawing from the long Christian tradition, Brian argues that knowing God and knowing ourselves are deeply connected. We cannot love others well if we refuse to know our own stories, wounds, desires, assumptions, fears, and patterns.
