Why Modern Christianity Struggles to Make Disciples | Ep 36 (Bonus)

Why does modern Christianity often struggle to produce deep disciples?In this bonus episode, Brian Fisher revisits the foundational ideas behind Soil & Roots and introduces the framework that shapes the entire podcast: the Three Primary Problems. Building on Dallas Willard's concept of the Great Omission, he explains how the Forgotten Kingdom, the Discipleship Dilemma, and the Formation Gap combine to undermine spiritual formation and disciple-making in the modern church.The episode traces Brian's personal journey into the teachings of Jesus, the Kingdom of God, anthropology, and the concept of "double knowledge"—the idea that knowing God and knowing ourselves are deeply connected. Along the way, listeners receive a high-level overview of how these three problems developed and why recovering a biblical vision of discipleship requires more than information alone.This conversation serves as a roadmap for understanding the deeper themes explored throughout Seasons 2, 3, and 4 of Soil & Roots.Join us online! Web: ⁠⁠soilandroots.org⁠⁠ Substack: ⁠ https://soilandroots.substack.com/
