Overview of Deep Roots

3. Choose Your Mission Track (NEW This Session)

This session, each TEAM gets to choose between two mission tracks. Both mission tracks have the same overall structure and components, but slightly different content.

🌱 Roots

This is the classic Deep Roots experience you know and love. Weekly missions are designed to help you grow spiritually, physically, and relationally through intentional habits and challenges. This is best for teams that like the theme for the current session, or for teams that are ready to join us for 8 weeks but aren't sure that they want to jump into another study after this session ends.

🌾 Harvest (New)

The Harvest track offers the same structure and level of camaraderie, challenge, and competition as the classic Deep Roots experience. BUT it gives your team the option to continue after this session of Deep Roots with additional studies that are designed to make you into the man God created you to be. If you have found yourself asking "What's next?" after previous sessions of Deep Roots, this is your answer. Or if your team is ready to commit to growing together over the long haul, the Harvest option is right for you.

As a team, decide which path is right for your season—and go all in, together.

  • Weekly Missions

    Each week for 8 weeks, you'll receive a mission by email—designed to challenge and grow you in three key areas:

    Spiritual – Deepen your walk with God through prayer, Scripture, and spiritual disciplines.

    Physical – Prioritize health through workouts, nutrition, and rest.

    Relational – Intentionally invest in your most important relationships.

    Intentionally invest in your most important relationships.

    Think you’re too busy?
    You don’t have time not to do this. Even 30 minutes a day can change everything.


    It's not about perfection—it’s about progress. Small steps lead to big growth.
