We are back! In this episode, Dianne & Ethan give an update on what is going on with Deeply Rooted, and what is Ethan & Dianne Jago doing now. We also discuss the practicalities of homeschooling, comparison, fears, and feelings of inadequacy. We then shift into discussing what comparison does to women who are looking at homeschooling and studying theology. The problem that arises from social media and how this influences us in every aspect of our lives. From homeschooling to being a stay-at-home mom, working mom, or women's discipleship leader, or simply looking at studying Scripture. There is a continual compromise that is ongoing across the Evangelical landscape of the church and it is an issue that must be addressed. The issue that is covertly being attacked is against Sola Scriptura or Scripture alone.

This episode was recorded by a campfire (hence the title) and you may hear the following:

creek rustling

dog sneezing

birds chirping

In this episode, Ethan and Dianne unpack Titus 2 discipleship. There is so much content in Paul's letter to Titus as he is Paul's apostolic delegate to plant churches, elect elders, and model biblical discipleship. Dianne explains how women invested in her life at many pivotal points in her walk with Christ, and how we can all find beautiful principles in this portion of Scripture for seeking discipleship relationships. Many convolute and misconstrue what discipleship is neglecting what Scripture says in what discipleship was always meant to be. Older men train younger men, and older women train younger women as the process continues. Christian conduct and adherence to biblical principles allow us to model this to both the younger and older generation, demonstrating the way how to act, speak, and live. If you want to learn more about Titus 2 discipleship Dianne will be teaching a class for women on what this looks like! 

Is the New Testament reliable? How was it even formed? With so many varying translations and given its complex history, many criticize the validity of the New Testament. In this episode, Ethan Jago discusses the history of how the early churches distributed Paul's letters and what moved our early church fathers to canonize Scripture.

Welcome to the Deeply Rooted Podcast. We are excited for you to join us! Here is a brief trailer episode where Dianne and Ethan Jago explain what this podcast is all about! Thanks for listening.

Proverbs 16:9 says, "The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps." Deeply Rooted started in 2014 as a print publication and 8 years later, the Lord is directing the team's steps in a new and fresh way. Ethan and Dianne are excited to share this new update with you as they take these next steps of faith. Listen to learn where the Deeply Rooted team is headed.

When people hear the word evangelism, some think of street corner preaching or door to door witnessing. Others think it's enough to "preach the Gospel and, if necessary, use words." But Scripture is clear that we all, as believers, are the Sowers. The word of God is the seed, and all we are to do is throw it out there as the opportunities come along recognizing that only 3 out of 4 of the soils will bear fruit. It's our job to share but it's not our job to save.

Our special guest for this episode is Dr. Glenn Jago. He is the pastor at Church of the Open Door in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. Glenn is not only Ethan's Dad but is Deeply Rooted's Theology 101 writer and Biblical content reviewer! Head over to deeplyrootedmag.com to see the full show notes! 

This week we discuss what it means to be a disciple and what discipleship looks like in the life of the believer. We break this concept down into five stages/phases. These phases are not a checklist, but merely a way in which you can identify the progression in your spiritual walk and in those around you. Ethan and Dianne touch on the following topics that make up a disciple of Jesus:

The Christian, however, acknowledges a higher standard: God’s Word. In this episode, Ethan and Dianne Jago answer the following questions: What is Scripture? What is the Christian’s source of truth? What role does Scripture have in a Believer’s life?

This is the first episode in our series titled, "Rooted in Christ." Since the start of our magazine, our message has always been to be deeply rooted in Jesus Christ (Col. 2:6-7). What encompasses that kind of lifestyle? In this episode, we aim to answer the question: What is the Gospel? Because this message of "good news" is central to our living and being, we must be able to communicate what it is clearly. Our founders, Ethan and Dianne Jago answer the following questions:
