The Enigmatic Jesus and the Mystery of Faith (GH) | Ep 123

What do we do with the enigmatic Jesus?In this Greenhouse episode, Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc continue the conversation from Episode 122, “The Mystery of Jesus.” Season 6 is exploring Jesus as the object of our formation, and this episode presses into one of His most fascinating and unsettling traits: Jesus is often mysterious, puzzling, and hard to pin down.The conversation asks whether Jesus’ enigmatic way of teaching and relating is something only He could carry, or whether those who are becoming more like Him should also become more comfortable with mystery, ambiguity, patience, and unanswered questions.Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc wrestle with Jesus’ cryptic sayings, His refusal to explain Himself, His relational security, His ability to let people walk away, and His wisdom in speaking differently to different people. They also discuss whether deep disciples should sometimes resist the urge to be immediately clear, immediately right, or immediately understood.This episode explores mystery not as a wall that blocks us from God, but as an invitation to move closer to Him. The more we know Jesus, the more we realize He cannot be reduced to slogans, formulas, scripts, or tidy answers. He is a person of extraordinary depth, and following Him may require learning to trust Him even when we do not understand what He is doing next.Becoming like Jesus may not mean trying to be intentionally confusing. But it may mean becoming secure enough, patient enough, and wise enough to live beyond the flatness of easy answers.Join us online! Web: ⁠⁠http://soilandroots.org⁠⁠ Substack: ⁠ https://soilandroots.substack.com/
