Our Hidden Ideas About God (GH) | Ep 139

What if your hidden ideas about God shape your life more than your stated beliefs?In this Greenhouse episode, Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc continue the conversation from Episode 138 on ideas, beliefs, and the unconscious forces that shape our discipleship. Season 7, Deep Calls to Deep, is exploring how we become people of depth — people who naturally and unconsciously think, act, relate, and love more like Jesus.The conversation begins with Psalm 42 and the season’s theme: “Deep calls to deep.” Doc unpacks the water imagery of the psalm, reminding us that the journey into depth is not always gentle or peaceful. Sometimes God’s invitation into the Good Life comes through waves, breakers, chaos, suffering, and the painful process of being unmade and remade.Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc then return to the Soil & Roots language of ideas: the assumptions, conclusions, and experienced realities in which our hearts are rooted. These hidden ideas often operate beneath our stated beliefs. We may say we trust God, believe in His goodness, and affirm His love, while our actual lives reveal a different operating system.The episode explores modern psychology, Dallas Willard, Daniel Kahneman, Jonathan Edwards, C.S. Lewis, the difference between head and heart, and the powerful idea that “this is not my home.” If our hearts assume the Christian life is mostly about escaping earth and going to heaven someday, we may have little reason to pursue the with-God life now.But Jesus invites us into the Good Life today — not merely knowing about God, but experiencing His love, presence, and beauty in the middle of real life.Deep discipleship begins when we allow Jesus to uncover and heal the hidden ideas that actually govern us.Join us online! Web: ⁠⁠https://soilandroots.org⁠⁠ Substack: ⁠ https://soilandroots.substack.com
