Christian Spiritual Formation Interviews
Season Overview
What can we learn from others who are walking the path of deep discipleship?
After exploring the foundations of deep discipleship in Seasons 1-4, Season 5 shifts from teaching to conversation. In this season, Brian Fisher sits down with a diverse group of authors, thinkers, pastors, spiritual directors, and practitioners who have dedicated their lives to understanding spiritual formation, discipleship, healing, community, and the Kingdom of God.
These conversations provide fresh perspectives on many of the themes explored throughout the Soil & Roots journey. Together, we wrestle with questions of identity, transformation, community, suffering, spiritual practices, and what it means to become more like Jesus in everyday life.
Each interview episode is followed by a Greenhouse discussion episode where the Soil & Roots team reflects on the conversation, explores key themes, and considers practical implications for our own spiritual formation.
Whether you are discovering these ideas for the first time or have been traveling with Soil & Roots for years, these conversations offer wisdom, encouragement, and practical insight from some of the most thoughtful voices in the discipleship movement.

How This Season Works

- Greenhouse Episode – The Soil & Roots team reflects on the interview, discusses key takeaways, and explores how the ideas connect to the broader Soil & Roots framework.
Together, these paired episodes provide both an outside perspective and a practical application.

Why This Season Matters
Deep discipleship is not a solo endeavor. Throughout church history, God has used teachers, mentors, communities, and trusted guides to help people grow in wisdom and maturity.
Season 5 invites us into those conversations. By listening to the stories, insights, and experiences of others, we gain a richer understanding of what it means to follow Jesus and participate in the lifelong journey of spiritual transformation.
