Ideas About God: What Your Heart Really Believes | Ep 138

What do you really believe about God?In Episode 138, Brian continues Season 7, Deep Calls to Deep, by returning to one of Soil & Roots' central ideas: our lives are not shaped primarily by what we say we believe, but by the ideas our hearts actually assume.Ideas are the unconscious assumptions, conclusions, and experienced realities that our hearts are rooted in. They sit beneath our belief systems and quietly shape how we relate to God, ourselves, others, and the world. We may intellectually believe that God is good, loving, safe, and trustworthy — while our hearts live as if He is distant, disappointed, unsafe, or unreliable.This matters because Season 7 is exploring the journey into depth. If the first step toward the Good Life is receiving God’s love with vulnerability, then our true ideas about God become essential. How can we surrender to love if our hearts do not trust the One offering it?Drawing from A.W. Tozer, Dallas Willard, Jonathan Edwards, Heartview, the Great Omission, and the Soil & Roots framework of ideas, Brian explores how our bodies, emotions, relationships, words, thoughts, health, time, and money reveal what our hearts really believe about God.This episode asks a deeply practical question: if your anxiety, your relationships, your body, and your habits could speak, what would they reveal about your idea of God?The with-God life begins as we allow Jesus to uncover and heal the hidden ideas that keep us guardedJoin us online! Web: ⁠⁠https://soilandroots.org⁠⁠ Substack: ⁠ https://soilandroots.substack.com/
