Ashley Hepperly
We are the wild ones. Hungry for Jesus and adventures with God.
For wild lovers of God who know there's more.
If you have felt like there has to be more to this than showing up on Sunday and trying to keep the rules, you are not wrong. There is a whole life with Him on the other side of knowing who He actually is.
I pull the leader out of young people who don't see it in themselves yet.
I have spent almost twenty years discipling people who were certain God could use everybody else. What I keep finding is that most of them are not waiting on more information. They are waiting on someone to tell them who they already are in Him. That is the work. Identity first, then everything that grows out of it.
Field notes from the trail, every Friday
A free weekly letter with a devotion, a story, and whatever the Holy Spirit is teaching me that week. Short enough to read with your coffee.

The Ashley Hepperly Podcast
Honest conversations about hearing God's voice, healing the parts of you that are still sore, and living like the Kingdom is actually near.
Dive into the podcastRooted University
An online school for people who want to go all in.
Live teaching with me every week, plus a growing library you can work through at your own pace. Hearing God's voice, finding your gifts and learning how to use them, walking deeply with Him, and the biblical context that makes you feel solid instead of guessing. Built with young people in mind, though plenty of others have found their way in.
See what it isBooks for the journey
A memoir of what Jesus has shown me, a thirty day devotional of love notes from the Father, and two discipleship workbooks for doing the work with a group.
A little about me
I live in the mountains of East Tennessee, lead worship at my church, and run Rooted Collective, a nonprofit that disciples young people into knowing God's heart. Twenty years of ministry has taken me through worship pastoring, traveling and speaking, and a few years owning a coffee shop. The dream I have carried the whole time is a residential discipleship school right here in these mountains. Everything I am building walks toward that.
People who went deeper
These are not students of a program. They are people I have discipled over the years, and some of them are leading now.
"Rooted changed my life. I felt lost when it came to developing the gifts in me, and I needed confidence with God and wanted to know the Holy Spirit in a powerful way. Now, I'm the college pastor at my church and operating in what I know God's called me in. I learned to be rooted in Him before making ministry my identity, and I'm a new person because of it."
Taylor
College Pastor
"Before joining Rooted, I was in a rough spot spiritually and emotionally. I was dealing with the passing of my best friend and role model, and I felt lost. Rooted helped me through it by loving on me and supporting me. It showed me how much closer of a relationship you can have with Jesus, and it gave me a community of great people who love Him. If you're wondering whether you should do Rooted, I would definitely recommend it."
