Based on Episode 76’s idea that curiosity is a primary characteristic of someone journeying to become more like Jesus, the guys take a few steps even deeper. In a transparent and wide-ranging dialogue, Brian and Kyle explore obstacles to curiosity (sometimes including the church), and what it means to ask questions of God, others, and even ourselves.
Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, psychology, and the Soil & Roots framework of deep discipleship, this episode examines the hidden “ideas” that quietly govern our inner lives. While many Christians intellectually affirm God’s love and goodness, our anxiety, control, resentment, and guardedness often reveal a very different lived reality beneath the surface.
Dr. Tim comes loaded with rich and probing questions about our ideas of God in this Greenhouse episode of the Soil & Roots podcast (expanding on Episode 140).
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?
What if the most important thing about you isn’t what you believe—but what you actually experience about God? In this episode, we explore how our hidden ideas of God shape everything in our lives and why uncovering them is essential for deep discipleship and spiritual formation.
