Soil and Roots

Hey, What's the Idea?

Soil & Roots marks two years on Substack by urging readers to examine the hidden ideas that shape Christian discipleship. The post argues that Western spirituality is crippled by three corrupted concepts—the Discipleship Dilemma, the Formation Gap, and the Forgotten Kingdom—leading to shallow faith and social division. It cites thinkers like Dallas Willard and Charles Taylor to show how ideas, not merely doctrine, drive behavior. The author calls for a shift from instructional models to relational, experience‑based formation that mirrors Jesus’ idea‑revolution through love and sacrifice.
