What if the Gospel isn’t just about saving souls but restoring wholeness? What if the life you’ve been longing for—one of deep purpose, community, and impact—starts not with constant motion but with putting down roots?

In Deeply Rooted: Planting Our Lives and Planting the Gospel, you’re invited into a journey of living the Gospel in tangible, transformative ways. This companion guide to the Microchurch Next Video Series provides a practical framework for discovering your place of sentness, cultivating meaningful relationships, and sharing the Gospel naturally in your everyday life.

This book is for anyone who wants to:

  • Live with intentionality in their neighborhoods and networks of relationships.
  • Integrate their faith into the everyday rhythms of life.
  • Equip others with tools for disciple-making and Gospel multiplication.
  • Experience the transformative power of a deeply rooted life.

Rob Wegner and Brian Johnson bring you a compelling vision of how ordinary people can live extraordinary lives on mission. Rob and Brian serve as leaders in the Kansas City Underground, a decentralized network of microchurches making disciples in every corner of their city. They’ve seen firsthand the transformative power of rooted Gospel living locally and globally. Together, they weave personal stories, practical tools, and Biblical wisdom into a guide that will inspire and equip you to bring the Kingdom of God to life—right where you are.

Rooted in love. Anchored in community. Overflowing with Gospel impact.
