Beliefs vs Ideas: Why We Don't Live What We Believe | Ep 50

Why do Christians often believe the right things yet struggle to live them?In this episode, Brian Fisher explores one of the most important distinctions in spiritual formation: the difference between beliefs and ideas. Drawing on the work of Dallas Willard and James K.A. Smith, he argues that our lives are shaped less by the beliefs we profess and more by the unconscious ideas and desires buried deep within our hearts.The conversation revisits the Six Core Ideas, examines how cultural assumptions shape our understanding of God and Scripture, and explores why information alone rarely produces lasting transformation. Brian also explains how ideas are formed through relationship and experience, helping listeners understand why intimacy is such a vital element of discipleship.If you've ever wondered why your actions don't always align with your theology, this episode offers a powerful framework for understanding how hearts are actually transformed.Join us online! Web: ⁠⁠soilandroots.org⁠⁠ Substack: ⁠ https://soilandroots.substack.com/
