Description

In this episode, we reflect on what it means to be deeply rooted in Christ. Drawing on Ezekiel 17 and Colossians 2:6–7, scripture reminds us that even what seems dry can flourish when rooted in God. As Paul writes, just as we have received Christ, we are called to continue walking in him — letting our roots grow deep and our lives be built on his foundation.

Being rooted deeply and reaching out widely are not two separate callings. God does not wait for us to have perfect roots before using us — the disciples certainly didn’t. Instead, growth comes through discipleship, transformation, perseverance, discipline, and reliance on the Holy Spirit.

We’re invited to pause and ask: How are your roots? Where might God be calling you to return — or to step into something new — so that new life can flourish?
