The Soil and Roots Story: Pain, Greenhouses, and What’s Next | Ep 144 (Bonus)

In this bonus episode, Brian steps away from the usual Season 7 format to share the personal story behind Soil & Roots. Episode 144 traces the last five years: betrayal, loss, the dark night of the soul, chronic Lyme disease, financial uncertainty, and the slow emergence of a deeper calling. Brian shares how Dallas Willard, Richard Foster, A.W. Tozer, C.S. Lewis, the Critical Journey, and the language of hidden ideas helped shape the Soil & Roots vision. This episode also explains what has been happening behind the scenes this summer: the SEO and discoverability overhaul, the review of five years of content, the refining of the Greenhouse model, and the emerging two-year pathway through the inward journey. At the center is a simple question: how do we help people facing the wall move toward depth, healing, self-knowledge, and deeper life with Jesus?
