In this episode, we dive into what it really means to create a culture that helps people grow, thrive, and walk in freedom — starting with our own hearts. Culture isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a powerful environment-shaping force that influences how we live, lead, and disciple others. Drawing from our journey of shaping the culture of the Rooted Discipleship School, I share a practical process to help you define and live out the kind of culture you long to see — in your life, family, church, or team.

• Culture starts with you – You can’t cultivate externally what you’re not living internally.

• Keep it simple – Define your culture in 3–5 clear, memorable words.

• Vision fuels transformation – Give people a reason to embrace and stick with the culture.

• Make it practical – Unpack what each value looks like in real-life behaviour.

• Model it – People are shaped more by what you live than what you say.

• Repeat, repeat, repeat – Culture change takes time and consistent reinforcement.

  
  

Whether you're a leader, parent, or someone hungry to see kingdom culture established around you, this episode will help you take tangible steps forward.

In this episode, Johnny (who’s part of the Rooted team) shares from his personal journey of learning to live from a place of rest. Drawing on the life of Jesus and ancient spiritual rhythms, he unpacks how cultivating rest—especially through Sabbath—can become a foundation for spiritual formation and transformation.

• Understand that spiritual formation is always happening, the question is: ‘what is forming you?’

• Learn from Jesus’ example of spiritual practices

• See Sabbath through the lens of resistance, restoration and trust

• Receive fresh faith for Sabbath and why it’s a crucial discipline for us to practice intentionally.

In this episode, Jasmin (who’s part of the Rooted team) dives into the raw and often costly journey of worship. Worship isn’t always easy; sometimes, it’s a wrestle. If we can embrace the struggle, we get to see God more clearly and the fruit is greater intimacy with Him.

• Receive fresh faith for wrestling with God in worship

• Understand what wrestling with God might look like

• Learn from Simon Peter in Matthew 16 and Jacob in Genesis 32

• Hear some of Jasmin’s own story of worshipping through a valley season

  
  

Whether you’re on a mountaintop, in a valley, or somewhere between, this episode reminds us that those who walk with a limp often carry a story of intimacy with God. Worshipping with a whole heart might mean wrestling for it first, but in the end, it's worth it—because He is worth it.

Key Scriptures:

Matthew 16 - ‘Who do you say that I am?’

Genesis 32 - Jacob wrestles with God
