Spiritual Depth and Self-Knowledge (GH) | Ep 111
from Soil and Roots · host Brian Fisher
What makes a person spiritually deep?In this Greenhouse episode, Brian and Handsome Kyle continue the conversation from Episode 110, “The Desperate Need for Deep People.” That bonus episode defined a deep person as someone increasingly awake and attuned to God, self, others, creation, and culture. Episode 111 presses further into what that actually means.Brian and Handsome Kyle explore why spiritual depth is not the same as theological knowledge, religious activity, church involvement, or having impressive answers. A deep person is someone who listens beneath the surface — to the heart of God, to their own heart, to the hearts of others, and to the world God has made.The conversation also returns to one of the most neglected themes in modern discipleship: self-knowledge. Drawing from the long Christian tradition, Brian argues that knowing God and knowing ourselves are deeply connected. We cannot love others well if we refuse to know our own stories, wounds, desires, assumptions, fears, and patterns.Brian and Handsome Kyle also discuss suffering as a common doorway into depth, the risk of authentic love, why Jesus relates to each person with particularity, and how creation and culture belong inside deep discipleship. This is a Greenhouse conversation about becoming people who are less guarded, more awake, more honest, and more able to love like Jesus.Join us online!
