Ep 99: (GH) The Critical Journey w/ Dr. Jim Reiter

Kyle, Doc, and Brian sit down to unpack Brian’s recent conversation with Dr. Jim Reiter about The Critical Journey, one way to describe our spiritual adventure.

It’s a passionate and animated dialogue, and it covers three main questions:

1. If modern church institutions help us prepare and walk through the first three stages of our discipleship but don’t help or guide us into the last three, what is the impact of that void on individuals, the church, and culture? How does it impact The Great Omission?

2. There have been several recent high-profile celebrity pastor scandals in the U.S. These men preached the Gospel and claimed biblical accuracy for decades. What does that say about “being right” compared to “being formed”?

3. Jim brought up the spiritual discipline of “cinema divina” (and Kyle happily jumped out of his seat). What does it mean to look for Jesus’ speaking to the world through means many consider “secular” or “bad”?

Lots of good material to discuss, debate, and argue with your friends!

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

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?
