Rooted for the Journey
The Bible teaches us that our faith is like a tree. To be a strong oak, we need a root system that is deep, expansive, and consistently nourished.

Deeper
An Interactive Journey to Spiritual Growth
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all study; it’s a customized roadmap for your faith. Deeper helps you explore three vital disciplines—prayer, Scripture, and community—while creating space for the Holy Spirit to lead you on where you go next.
Map Your Journey: Each chapter ends with an interactive element that lets you decide your next step based on where God is leading you.
The Result: Discover a deeper intimacy with your Father as you build consistency in your relationship with Him, learn to better recognize His voice, and what it looks like to walk in obedience.
Deeper Faith Small Group Discussion Guides
Fostering meaningful conversation and authentic relationships.
The Deeper Faith series offers an innovative approach to leading small groups. Designed to foster conversation, these guides create a space where group members can share their unique perspectives and align them with the timeless truth of God’s Word.
Each week presents a stand-alone topic, allowing new members to jump in at any point without feeling lost or behind.
By using a purposeful 5-step process—Connect, Discuss, Align, Challenge, and Pray—each session is crafted to deepen understanding and promote accountability in a supportive community.
Discussion guide also includes a weekly participant guide (downloadable PDF) to print or share with group members.
Deeper Faith Current Topics:
Identity—This guide dives deep into the struggle to understand what it means to be a follower of Jesus, helping us explore whose opinions we trust and uncovering the powerful truths in Scripture about our true identity.
Disciplines—Spiritual discipline is the cornerstone of spiritual growth, and this guide helps group members cultivate deep, lasting roots in their faith by focusing on the key disciplines of obedience, prayer, and the application of Scripture to everyday life.
