What Is Deep Discipleship? The Need for Deep People | Ep 110

What is deep discipleship, and why does the world desperately need deep people?In this Season 5 bonus episode, Brian steps back from the Conversations series to review the Soil & Roots journey so far. Drawing from Dallas Willard’s language of the Great Omission and Richard Foster’s call for “deep people,” this episode returns to the central question behind Soil & Roots: how do people become more like Jesus from the inside out?Brian reviews the Great Omission, the three primary problems explored in Seasons 2–4, and the Soil & Roots framework of story, community, and purpose. The Discipleship Dilemma reminds us that God’s story and our own stories matter. The Formation Gap reminds us that hearts are formed through time, habit, community, intimacy, and instruction. The Forgotten Kingdom reminds us that Jesus’ purpose is not merely private salvation, but the increasing arrival of His Kingdom into every corner of human existence.The episode then asks what a deep person actually is. A deep person is not necessarily the most theologically informed, most charismatic, most active, or most religiously busy person in the room. A deep person is someone increasingly awake and attuned to God, self, others, creation, and culture.This is a short but important overview of deep discipleship, heart listening, hidden ideas and desires, self-knowledge, vulnerability, creation care, cultural discernment, and the kind of people the world desperately needs.Join us online! Web: ⁠⁠https://soilandroots.org⁠⁠ Substack: ⁠ https://soilandroots.substack.com/
