"I struggle with laziness", Scammer Daejon Love, Football Is Back
You can be sincere about God and still feel stuck in the same loop: phone in hand, Bible unopened, two good days followed by a drop-off that turns into guilt. We hear that, and we go straight at it with honesty and urgency. We star...
Christian Response to Immigrants, GTA 6 and Isaiah's Wedding Recap
A syllabus can humble you, a viral clip can expose you, and a video game trailer can raise questions you didn’t expect to talk about on a faith podcast. We’re four hosts trying to live with deeper roots, so we start with Pastor Jason’s real-tim...
Queer-affirming Pastors, We Going to the WNBA And Are My Feelings My Identity
We go from back-to-school and sports debates to a serious listener question about queer-affirming pastors and churches that teach against Scripture. We talk about holiness, authority, identity, and love, and we push for discernment that stays c...
Spider-Man, Demons, And The Line Between Conviction And Control
Somebody on Instagram swore the new Spider-Man movie is “astral projection,” “witchcraft,” and a fast track to catching demons through the screen and that rant opens a floodgate for us. We laugh, but we also take the moment seriously, because i...
Why is it so hard for men to have joy?
LeBron to the 76ers? A terrifying rescue robot with a chainsaw? “Praise Energy” and “Drink Yahweh” showing up on your timeline? We start there, because real life is weird right now, and it’s worth laughing about. We debate whether a stacked ros...
Chris Brown Concert, RJ's Police Chase, and Parenting in 2026
We just stepped into a new era: Deeper Roots is going social. Along with the audio, we’re putting out video clips across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and anywhere you get content, because we want the conversation to be easier to share ...
Should Christians Use Betting Apps?
Your timeline is loud for a reason. One minute it’s World Cup edits, Messi lore, and the Ronaldo debate. The next minute it’s a flood of betting ads that don’t just want you to watch the game, they want you to stake your peace on it. We start w...
How to Date As A Christian
A relationship can feel effortless and still be wrong for your future, and that’s the tension we sit in today. A listener texts us from North Carolina asking for Christian dating advice: he’s pursuing a woman he really likes, the connection fee...
Does the Holy Spirit Speak To The Non-Believer
A jellyfish sting, a whitewater rafting rescue, and a pastor going viral for “laying hands” sounds like chaos, but it’s the perfect runway for a deeper question: are we actually living by the Holy Spirit or just trying to manage life with sheer...
Should Christians Be Rich
New York is popping off after a game night, and not in a good way. We start by talking through the postgame chaos and why sports fandom can never be a free pass to act violent, especially when regular people are just trying to get home safe. Th...
PDA in Church, Giga Church, and NBA Finals
One minute we’re breaking down the NBA Finals and the wild way a series can flip from “it’s over” to “we’ve got a game,” and the next we’re confessing the modern struggle of streaming services. If you’ve ever searched three apps for one game, d...
Do I need to believe in the Trinity to be a Christian?
New York can barely handle the Knicks making the finals, and we start right there with the kind of sports talk that feels like the whole city is holding its breath. But that chaos quickly turns into a different kind of intensity when we read li...
Do Pastors Need A Degree To Preach, New Pandemic, Mother's Day
Authority is easy to claim and hard to prove, especially online and sometimes even in the church. We start with real-life catchup (playoffs takes, wild “new pandemic” rumors, Mother’s Day stories, and a surprisingly deep pickleball arc), then p...
Pastor vs Aliens, Is Jesus on Every Page of The Bible, Control issues
The moment somebody says “aliens,” a lot of people either panic or laugh and keep scrolling. We did neither. We took the question seriously enough to ask what it would mean for Christian theology, spiritual warfare, and the unseen realm, but we...
