Ever wondered why it feels so hard to grow in your faith alone? The truth is, you weren’t designed to.

In this episode, Wendy explores why we can’t become wholehearted disciples of Jesus in isolation—and why God designed us to grow in the context of community.

• How Jesus modelled the importance of community with the twelve, the three, and the one.

• Why the enemy works so hard to isolate us, and why we’re more vulnerable when we walk alone.

• The call to live in authentic church community and cultivate 2–3 trusted friendships.

• Four keys to building wholehearted relationships: Pray for good friends, take relational risks, learn to ask good questions, understand your heart and attachment style

  
  

Community may be messy, risky, and time-consuming—but it’s also where healing, freedom, and wholeness are found. You don’t have to walk this journey alone.

Key Scriptures:

John 19:26–27 — Jesus entrusting His mother to John

1 Peter 5:8 — Be alert, the enemy prowls like a lion

1 John 1:7 — Walking in the light leads to fellowship

‘Raising up whole-hearted disciples of Jesus’

In this episode Wendy shares some reflections from this year's Rooted Discipleship School, a week-long event for believers aged 18-35. Jesus did so much in the space of seven days together that it’s hard to know where to start. Some key revelations stand out that are relevant to all believers, no matter what age you are:

• What is the heart journey and why is it so crucial for followers of Jesus?

• The importance of digging deep foundations

• The tragedy of houses that fall when storms hit

• Why culture is an absolute game changer

• Some of the fruit of hearts yielded to Him

  
  

Whether you're just starting out in your faith or have been walking with Jesus for decades, the invitation is the same: to go deeper, to yield more fully, and to let Him build something unshakeable in you.

As you listen, may your heart be stirred afresh to pursue Jesus with your whole life and join the movement of wholehearted disciples who are being rooted, built up, and released to carry His presence wherever they go.

Key Scriptures:

Luke 6: 43–45 - The fruit in our lives flows from our hearts

Luke 6: 46-48 - Dig deep to lay foundations on solid rock
