Ep 119: A Voice from the Clouds (GH)

What does it really mean to abide in Jesus? In this Greenhouse episode, Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc continue the conversation from Episode 118 on Jesusโ€™ relational and emotional security. If Jesus is the most secure person in human history โ€” unshaken by rejection, manipulation, pressure, praise, criticism, or failure โ€” then what does that reveal about abiding in the Fatherโ€™s love? The conversation returns to the Fatherโ€™s words at Jesusโ€™ baptism: โ€œThis is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.โ€ Jesus does not merely know this intellectually. He lives from it. His identity is rooted in belovedness, and His actions flow from secure attachment to the Father. Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc explore why many followers of Jesus struggle to live from that same security. We may believe we are loved by God, but our hearts often tell a different story. Circumstances, failure, shame, self-loathing, anxiety, people-pleasing, and the need for control can reveal places where we are not yet resting in the Fatherโ€™s love.

Relationally Secure like Jesus

What does it mean that Jesus is the most relationally and emotionally secure human being in history?

The guys jump back into the Greenhouse to dissect the idea that, based on Jesus’s life, we can become more relationally secure, attuned, and restful in our relationships with God, others, and ourselves. Though this is not normally explored in modern-day discipleship, it is directly related to the biblical concept of โ€œabiding.โ€

They also explore ways that relational insecurity finds its way into our faith today – and some of those explorations are surprising.

Come on in and enjoy another deep, perhaps out-of-the-box Greenhouse discussion as we continue our discussion from Episode 118.

Doubting Godโ€™s Goodness (GH) | Ep 143

What do we do when we find ourselves doubting Godโ€™s goodness?

In this Greenhouse episode, Brian and Doc continue the conversation from Episode 142 by exploring one of the most difficult tensions in deep discipleship: how to affirm Godโ€™s goodness while honestly grieving the pain, injustice, and suffering of the world. Doc brings his own struggle into the conversation, naming the friction between experiencing Godโ€™s kindness in his own life and seeing deep suffering in the lives of others.

This episode is not a philosophical defense of Godโ€™s goodness. It is a conversation about lament, authenticity, doubt, secure attachment, and the kind of community where people can bring their rawest questions without being rushed, corrected, or shamed. Brian and Doc explore why modern church culture often struggles with lament, why easy answers can fail the heart, and why the deeper question beneath โ€œIs God good?โ€ may be a cry for withness.

Ep 142: Is God Good? The Hidden Doubt Many of Us Carry

Is God good, and do our hearts actually experience Him that way?

In Episode 142, Brian continues Season 7, The Good Life, by exploring one of the most powerful hidden ideas many followers of Jesus carry: the suspicion that God may not actually be good. We may consciously affirm Godโ€™s goodness, love, mercy, and faithfulness, yet our lived experience can tell another story.

Drawing from the Soil & Roots distinction between beliefs and ideas, Brian explores how hidden assumptions about God are formed through suffering, disappointment, family systems, trauma, illness, and repeated experiences. The episode considers how distrust of Godโ€™s goodness often shows up through the Eight Indicators: control, anxiety, resentment toward reality, and difficulty receiving love.

Ep 141: The Most Important Thing About Us: Our Hidden Ideas About God (GH)

What if your view of God shapes everything?

In this Greenhouse episode, Brian and Doc continue the conversation from Episode 140 on what God is really like and why our deepest ideas of God matter so much. Season 7, Deep Calls to Deep, is exploring how we become people of depth โ€” people who are increasingly attuned to God, others, themselves, and the world.

The conversation begins with Richard Fosterโ€™s claim that the world does not need more talented or intelligent people as much as it needs deep people. But becoming deep is not always safe, comfortable, or tidy. The inward journey can involve pruning, tearing, fire, pain, and the slow process of being unmade and remade by Godโ€™s goodness.

Brian and Doc then explore how our view of God becomes the root system beneath nearly every other view we hold. Our theology shapes our philosophy, our politics, our view of creation, our understanding of the sacred and secular, and even how we think about suffering, the church, and the Bible.
