Episode 12 – The Roots Deepen

🎙️ Rooted for Growth Podcast

Real strength isn’t always loud—it’s often hidden in the quiet, unseen places. In this episode, Troy reflects on the importance of building a solid foundation through daily spiritual practices like prayer, scripture meditation, and stillness. Inspired by The Missing Piece by Shel Silverstein, we explore the idea that the joy is not in “completing” ourselves by worldly standards, but in drawing closer to Christ through consistent connection.

You’ll hear:

🌱 A powerful story about searching for what we think we’re missing
📖 Biblical insights from Joshua 1:8, 1 Thessalonians 5:17, and Psalm 1:2
🧠 A brief psychotherapy perspective on the mental benefits of routine spiritual practice
💬 A simple encouragement to root deeper, not just grow taller

Key Quote:

“Why do I meditate? Because I am a Christian… every day I do not penetrate more deeply into the knowledge of God’s Word is a lost day for me.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

If you’ve ever felt like something was missing in your spiritual life, this episode is for you. Let’s grow deep so we can stand strong.
