Being Like Jesus vs. Doing Christian Things (GH) | Ep 115

What is the difference between doing what Jesus did and being like Jesus?In this Greenhouse episode, Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc continue the conversation from Episode 114, the launch of Season 6: The Object of Our Formation. Season 6 explores who Jesus really is and what qualities we should expect to develop as we become more like Him.The conversation begins by revisiting the Soil & Roots journey so far: the Great Omission, the Three Primary Problems, deep discipleship, hidden ideas, the Formation Gap, the Forgotten Kingdom, and the Discipleship Dilemma. But instead of staying focused on the problems, this season turns toward the ultimate answer: Jesus Himself.Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc wrestle with two core questions for the season. First, what is the difference between being like Jesus and simply doing Christian things? Spiritual formation is not merely a checklist of actions, habits, service projects, or sermon applications. The goal is not just to imitate Jesus externally, but to be formed from the inside out so that we increasingly think, relate, love, and respond like Him.Second, how complex is Jesus, the object of our formation? Jesus is not predictable, flat, or formulaic. He is gentle and confrontational, compassionate and disruptive, emotionally secure and deeply human. He relates to people with stunning particularity and wisdom.This episode invites us into a deeper vision of Christlikeness: becoming more fully ourselves in Him, more secure in the Father’s love, and more able to love others with the wisdom and freedom of Jesus.Join us online! Web: ⁠⁠https://soilandroots.org⁠⁠ Substack: ⁠ https://soilandroots.substack.com/
