Stages of Faith and the Wall (GH) | Ep 99

What happens when we move through the early stages of faith but are not guided into the deeper ones?In this Greenhouse episode, Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc continue the conversation from Episode 98 with Dr. Jim Reiter on The Critical Journey. They explore the six stages of faith, the Wall, and why many modern churches are well equipped for awakening, learning, and service, but often struggle to guide people through the inward journey, deeper self-awareness, and the life of love.The conversation asks what happens to individuals, churches, and culture when discipleship stops at Stage 3. If the later stages involve wrestling, suffering, deconstruction, character formation, and deeper union with God, then neglecting those stages has real consequences. Brian, Handsome Kyle, and Doc discuss church safety, pastoral scandals, celebrity church culture, the rise of the “dones,” and why being right is not the same as being formed.The episode also returns to Jim’s idea of cinema divina, asking whether Jesus can reveal Kingdom themes through movies, pop culture, and places many Christians might label “secular.” This is a passionate conversation about faith stages, deep discipleship, formation beyond information, and the kind of communities needed for people who know there must be more.Join us online! Web: ⁠⁠https://soilandroots.org⁠⁠ Substack: ⁠ https://soilandroots.substack.com/
