The Deep Rooted Podcast

The body always catches up! Despite our best efforts to grind it out or to suppress traumatic events, our physical bodies eventually reveal the hidden impact of stress. In a deeply personal episode, Jeff and Rochelle discuss in practical terms what it means for the body to keep the score. Prompted by a previous article written by Rochelle on the topic, this episode dives into more detail about an issue that few people discuss but many are wrestling with.

Alarmingly, there is a growing trend among people, groups, and even organizations to silence others who may disagree with them.  In some cases, this behavior is used in an attempt to cover up abuse or misconduct. Oftentimes, these tactics are employed in such subtle ways that those who experience their effects are rendered powerless in the moment. In this episode, Jeff and Rochelle discuss some of the methods in which people are silenced, why they are silenced, and what to do about it. Listen in, as talking about these issues is one of the ways healing can occur. Silence is NEVER the preferable option, even though others will pressure you to think it is.   Show Notes: Visit our website: notonmywatch.co Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@notonmywatchpodcast Subscribe on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../the-not-on-my.../id1550127745 Connect with us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/notonmywatch.co Connect with us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thenotonmywatch Connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notonmywatch.co/ Sign up for ministry updates: http://eepurl.com/iA8BmI Book Jeff and Rochelle to speak: https://notonmywatch.co/book-us/ Become a financial partner of Not On My Watch: https://notonmywatch.co/give/

With the arrival of each new year there is an almost unhesitating acceptance of the reality that our world will continue to grow more complicated. New technologies, discoveries, and much more content than you and I could ever consume leave us feeling overwhelmed with the growing complexity of our world.  In too many cases, the Church has surrendered to this unfortunate tendency. But what if Jesus is calling His Bride to something different in 2025?  In this episode, Jeff and Rochelle discuss what it looks like for God's people to pursue a life of simplicity.  Jesus didn't promise to build His MACHINE. He promised to build His Church. And THIS Church is far less complicated than we have often made it.  Take a listen!   Show Notes: Visit our website: notonmywatch.co Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@notonmywatchpodcast Subscribe on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../the-not-on-my.../id1550127745 Connect with us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/notonmywatch.co Connect with us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thenotonmywatch Connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notonmywatch.co/ Sign up for ministry updates: http://eepurl.com/iA8BmI Book Jeff and Rochelle to speak: https://notonmywatch.co/book-us/ Become a financial partner of Not On My Watch: https://notonmywatch.co/give/

We've all heard it!  Especially during this time of year.  “People need to stop being so political!”  What if we as parents need to start being MORE political?  In this episode, Jeff and Rochelle make the biblical case for why every parent needs to talk to their kids about politics.  As pleasant as it sounds, you will not find the case for an apolitical stance in Scripture.  If we want to equip our kids to think deeply about important issues impacting their life, we will help them to cultivate a biblical worldview toward politics.  Take a listen!   Show Notes: Visit our website: notonmywatch.co Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@notonmywatchpodcast Subscribe on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../the-not-on-my.../id1550127745 Connect with us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/notonmywatch.co Connect with us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thenotonmywatch Connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notonmywatch.co/ Sign up for ministry updates: http://eepurl.com/iA8BmI Book Jeff and Rochelle to speak: https://notonmywatch.co/book-us/ Become a financial partner of Not On My Watch: https://notonmywatch.co/give/

It's time for parents to start talking!  In this episode, Jeff and Rochelle discuss the implications of the staggering statistic that 43% of parents NEVER talk to their kids about their faith.  But all is not lost, because parents can reverse this trend by taking some things seriously.  Jeff and Rochelle identify key components that must be present between parent and child if the faith of one generation is to be passed on to the next.  This cannot be ignored.  Silence is not the answer!   Show Notes: Visit our website: notonmywatch.co Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@notonmywatchpodcast Subscribe on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../the-not-on-my.../id1550127745 Connect with us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/notonmywatch.co Connect with us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thenotonmywatch Connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notonmywatch.co/ Sign up for ministry updates: http://eepurl.com/iA8BmI Book Jeff and Rochelle to speak: https://notonmywatch.co/book-us/ Become a financial partner of Not On My Watch: https://notonmywatch.co/give/  

Some lessons become strikingly clear when you are placed in a position for which you have no other option other than to experience them in tangible ways.  These lessons certainly fall into that category!  In this episode, Jeff and Rochelle discuss what they have learned from experiencing homelessness.  While they still have a roof over their head, Jeff and Rochelle discuss their experience without one church to call their home.  Listen in, as every person who cares about the local church needs to look through the lens of a visitor.   Show Notes: Visit our website: notonmywatch.co Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@notonmywatchpodcast Subscribe on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../the-not-on-my.../id1550127745 Connect with us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/notonmywatch.co Connect with us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thenotonmywatch Connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notonmywatch.co/ Sign up for ministry updates: http://eepurl.com/iA8BmI Book Jeff and Rochelle to speak: https://notonmywatch.co/book-us/ Become a financial partner of Not On My Watch: https://notonmywatch.co/give/

Being a person of conviction requires the willingness to continue to stand even when others don't.  In part two of their “No Regrets” series, Jeff and Rochelle discuss how standing for their convictions even when they've paid the price is NEVER a decision they will regret.  Standing for what right is never popular nor easy but it is ALWAYS the path that followers of Christ must take.  In our world of rising abuse and increased dehumanization of people, the Church must awaken to the fact that they can no longer remain seated.  It's time to stand, even if that attracts unfair treatment from those you considered friends.   Show Notes: Visit our website: notonmywatch.co Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@notonmywatchpodcast Subscribe on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../the-not-on-my.../id1550127745 Connect with us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/notonmywatch.co Connect with us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thenotonmywatch Connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notonmywatch.co/ Sign up for ministry updates: http://eepurl.com/iA8BmI Book Jeff and Rochelle to speak: https://notonmywatch.co/book-us/ Become a financial partner of Not On My Watch: https://notonmywatch.co/give/

For the past 15 years, researchers and ministry leaders have been warning of the reality of a 4% Biblical worldview facing the next generation if nothing is done to reverse course.  Well, that time has come, and this is the current reality facing American Christianity.  What is the cause?  Is this emerging generation simply less interested in spiritual matters?  The answer may surprise you!  In this episode, Jeff and Rochelle discuss this troubling reality but assert that there is hope and even a solution that could reverse these numbers.  All is not lost!   Show Notes: Visit our website: notonmywatch.co Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@notonmywatchpodcast Subscribe on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../the-not-on-my.../id1550127745 Connect with us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/notonmywatch.co Connect with us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thenotonmywatch Connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notonmywatch.co/ Sign up for ministry updates: http://eepurl.com/iA8BmI Book Jeff and Rochelle to speak: https://notonmywatch.co/book-us/ Become a financial partner of Not On My Watch: https://notonmywatch.co/give/ Episode 91: “The Tripod of Your Kid's Life” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5US3muzSs4

The war on parents is real!  From strategic efforts to remove traditional family language from common use, the outsourcing of parental responsibility to the “professionals”, to the crumbling of parental consent in a variety of arenas, moms and dads find themselves in the crosshairs of a significant spiritual battle.  However, we are not helpless.  In this episode, Jeff and Rochelle discuss the specifics of this war and what parents must do to ensure the safety and spiritual health of their children.  We must be willing to fight!  Inaction is not an option.   Show Notes: Visit our website: notonmywatch.co Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@notonmywatchpodcast Subscribe on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../the-not-on-my.../id1550127745 Connect with us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/notonmywatch.co Connect with us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thenotonmywatch Connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notonmywatch.co/ Sign up for ministry updates: http://eepurl.com/iA8BmI Book Jeff and Rochelle to speak: https://notonmywatch.co/book-us/ Become a financial partner of Not On My Watch: https://notonmywatch.co/give/ Episode #109: “Can Kids Make Their Own Health Decisions?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0V_fY0hLzIM

The words we speak are never neutral, benign, or harmless rendering the rhyme we learned in kindergarten false.  “Sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me!”  Not only can words hurt us, but what comes from our mouth has the potential to kill or to give life.  Scripture goes so far as to identify our words as either poison or fruit.  The good news is that we get to choose which we will use in our everyday interactions with others.  In this episode, Jeff and Rochelle offer insight and personal experience with both types of words and how we can be people who consistently choose to give life.   Show Notes: Visit our website: notonmywatch.co Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@notonmywatchpodcast Subscribe on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../the-not-on-my.../id1550127745 Connect with us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/notonmywatch.co Connect with us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thenotonmywatch Connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notonmywatch.co/ Sign up for ministry updates: http://eepurl.com/iA8BmI Book Jeff and Rochelle to speak: https://notonmywatch.co/book-us/ Become a financial partner of Not On My Watch: https://notonmywatch.co/give/
