Dr. Tim comes loaded with insightful questions about the vital role ideas play in our spiritual formation and our quest to become deep disciples.

Continuing their discussion from Episode 138, the guys tackle the importance of “the Wall,” and how doubt, discouragement, and some deconstruction are a normal and good stage in our discipleship.

If what the world needs most is deep people, and those people are generally formed through suffering, how do we reconcile that with our desire to experience safety?

Since the Soil & Roots journey tends to approach discipleship anthropologically, does that align with the Bible and sound theology?  Can we understand spiritual formation through sources apart from the Bible?
