The Dilemma of the Modern Disciple: Craving Deeper Connection in a Disconnected Age

In an age abundant with spiritual information, modern disciples face a profound dilemma - a deep craving for a connection that feels just out of reach. The transformative experience of early followers of Jesus seems lost in the modern Christian journey, leading to a sense of disconnection and disillusionment.

Do you struggle with the dilemma of a disconnected Christian journey?
Is the transformative experience of early disciples out of your reach?
Do you feel lost in the abundance of spiritual information?
Are you craving a deeper, more authentic connection with God, others, and yourself?
Are you yearning for a more integrated, immersive Christian experience?

Deep Discipleship:
Cultivating Growth Together in Christ

Here at Soil & Roots, we’ve experienced the yearning for deeper spiritual connection, for a faith that isn't just about knowledge, but transformation. We've found that genuine formation doesn't happen in isolation, but in the shared journey of small, intentional discipleship communities.

This is where your story intertwines with others, where support and understanding create fertile ground for growth. Through sharing our experiences, we form a community committed to journeying together, becoming more like Jesus as we navigate the joys and trials of faith.

Rooted in the love and authority of Jesus, we're here to accompany you on this transformative journey, strengthening our collective faith as He works in us and through us.

Real Stories,
Real Transformation

The Soil and Roots podcast and our Greenhouse have reformed my entire paradigm about what discipleship is and how to journey into it.

Pennsylvania

When talking about our Greenhouse, my friends will say, ‘So it’s like a small group or Bible study.’ ‘No,’ I say. ‘It’s a Greenhouse. You just have to experience it to understand it.’

Texas

I never realized how my own story is tied to my spiritual formation and journey with Jesus. The podcast and my Greenhouse give me space to explore how those are connected.”

Florida

The aim of God in history is the creation of an all-inclusive community of loving persons with God himself at the very heart of this community as its prime Sustainer and most glorious Inhabitant.

Dallas Willard

We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.

Greenhouses: Cultivating
Deep Connection and Discipleship

Be part of a Soil & Roots Greenhouse Movement - united, vibrant small communities centered around fostering a more profound connection with God, others and self and nurturing a discipleship pathway guided by Jesus.

Time

Modern life tends to be frenetic and disconnected. Greenhouses invite us to slow down and enjoy time with God and others as we journey together.

Habit

We cooperatively nurture specific habits intended to deepen our faith, understand our stories, and become more like our King.

Community

Our small gatherings are formed on a few principles, including the importance of dialogue, allowing and honoring doubts, and patiently loving and encouraging one another.

Intimacy

Spiritual formation requires trust, appropriate vulnerability, and a willingness to explore our joys, sorrows, obstacles, and stories.

INSTRUCTION

Teaching is most formative when allowed to be tested, explored, and discussed. Greenhouses follow a guided instructional journey that fosters dialogue in an open environment.

Returning to Our Roots: Reviving the Original Blueprint of the Church

Two thousand years of church history, and here we are, at an unexpected juncture. A deluge of spiritual information and yet, a famine of transformative wisdom. At Soil & Roots, with the Bible's wisdom and the Spirit as our guide, we seek to mirror the depth of discipleship seen in the early Church. Together, we can navigate this crossroads by sharing our stories, inviting Jesus into them, and creating a restorative fellowship. We are shaping a movement that is simultaneously ancient and groundbreaking.
