Abiding in Jesus and Relational Security (GH) | Ep 119

What does it really mean to abide in Jesus?In this Greenhouse episode, Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc continue the conversation from Episode 118 on Jesus’ relational and emotional security. If Jesus is the most secure person in human history — unshaken by rejection, manipulation, pressure, praise, criticism, or failure — then what does that reveal about abiding in the Father’s love?The conversation returns to the Father’s words at Jesus’ baptism: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” Jesus does not merely know this intellectually. He lives from it. His identity is rooted in belovedness, and His actions flow from secure attachment to the Father.Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc explore why many followers of Jesus struggle to live from that same security. We may believe we are loved by God, but our hearts often tell a different story. Circumstances, failure, shame, self-loathing, anxiety, people-pleasing, and the need for control can reveal places where we are not yet resting in the Father’s love.The episode also discusses formulaic evangelism, particularity, spiritual direction, the difference between producing fruit and bearing fruit, attachment theory, and Curt Thompson’s language of being safe, seen, soothed, and secure. Abiding in Jesus is not anxious striving. It is becoming deeply rooted in Him until fruit begins to grow naturally.This is a Greenhouse conversation about identity, belovedness, relational security, and learning to live as people who are safe in the love of God.Join us online! Web: ⁠⁠http://soilandroots.org⁠⁠ Substack: ⁠ https://soilandroots.substack.com/
