Have you ever stood at the edge of the ocean and been struck by its vastness—its depth? That sense of something greater calling to us? Today, Alan Fadling invites us into a reflection on the spiritual hunger so many of us carry: a longing not just to know about God, but to be deeply rooted in God.

In this episode, Alan explores what it means to cultivate a life of soul-depth, spiritual depth, and heart depth. Drawing from his book An Unhurried Life, the writings of J.I. Packer and Hans Urs von Balthasar, and his own pastoral journey, Alan encourages us to move beyond surface-level faith toward a life shaped by love, receptivity, and transformation.

📖 Topics we’ll explore:


Why knowing about God isn’t the same as being deeply formed by God


The difference between wide spiritual knowledge and rooted spiritual maturity


How slowing down can open us to a more contemplative, relational depth with God

 

This is a conversation for anyone who feels the ache of a shallow faith and longs for something more enduring, more transformative, and more deeply connected.

 

🎧 Mentioned in this episode:


An Unhurried Life (Revised Audiobook, narrated by Alan)


Prayer by Hans Urs von Balthasar
