Going Deeper Than Sunday: Spiritual Disciplines and Real Life Faith Journeys

Reverend Roger Ross unpacks what it means to move from being a “kinda Christian” to a committed disciple. Through this episode of Compass, we explore the difference between just being a church member and living as a true follower of Jesus, and learn practical steps to deepen your spiritual journey, especially when you hit those invisible “spiritual walls.” Reverend Roger Ross is a pastor, church planter, and founder of The Humility Group. His book, “Kinda Christian: A Grace-Filled Path to Authentic Discipleship,” guides seekers and seasoned believers alike toward a deeper life with God. Roger’s broad experience in local churches—from Texas to the British island of Guernsey—fuels his passion for spiritual growth, genuine faith, and community transformation.
