Emma Holley, writer for the Taylor University student newspaper The Echo, gives an overview of Sacred Roots and reports on progress as of April 2021.

The Taylor University student newspaper recounts the initial beginnings of the Sacred Roots Thriving in Ministry Project.

This project report outlines Sacred Roots' first full year of work, which included six consultations and over sixty conversations about retrieving the wealth of the Great Tradition for under-resourced urban, rural, and incarcerated congregational leaders.

Rev. Dr. Hank Voss presented this paper to the Muncie Theology Institute in Muncie, IN on December 7, 2019. Using Aelred of Rievaulx's (d. 1167) book Spiritual Friendship as a case study, Voss suggests retrieving the Christian spiritual classics is a way congregational leaders working among the poor can address perennial pastoral problems.

Rev. Dr. Hank Voss shares the origin story of Sacred Roots and explains how Christians can use spiritual classics to connect with past brothers and sisters in the Christian faith.

Dr. Robert Chao Romero makes the case that Bartolomé de las Casas' book A Brief History of the Destruction of the Indies is a spiritual classic.

Rev. Dr. Greg Peters shares lessons he has learned from studying Thomas à Kempis and his book The Imitation of Christ.

Even a cursory glance at church history reveals that many of the problems congregational leaders deal with today have been present for centuries. Rev. Dr. Hank Voss recommends an evangelical "return to the sources," to allow congregational leaders to learn from past leaders' responses to perennial pastoral problems.

Lucas Hagen and Hank Voss look at four important historical precedents informing the Sacred Roots Project. It then explores introductions to, and collections of, spiritual classics from four traditions: Evangelical, Mainline Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Orthodox.

Rev. Dr. Don L. Davis and Rev. Bob Engel explore five critical barriers to indigenous leadership training, and five important responses for equipping thriving leaders for the urban church.

Nathanael Snow, with research contributions from Benjamin Pettus, summarizes the existing research on poverty and provides the resources to continue learning about the topic.

Kiersten R. Mackintosh identifies the benefits and downfalls of undergraduate research for students and faculty, describes best practices for its implementation, and analyzes why undergraduate research is a necessary pedagogical tool in liberal arts education.

Cheyenne King worked as a student researcher for the Sacred Roots Thriving in Ministry Project at Taylor University. Her research focused on letters that key figures in Church history have written to one another, the impact of spiritual classics on missionaries, and how spiritual classics have moved throughout continents.

Kaitlin Burden explores Rev. Dr. Don Davis' ministry among the urban poor and identifies five barriers congregational leaders face: class, culture, church-amnesia, content, and commission.

Rev. Dr. Hank Voss exhorts professors of practical theology to include Christian spiritual classics—texts that have proven valuable across centuries and cultures—in their classes. Didaktikos: Journal of Theological Education 3, no. 4 (February 2020): 10–11.

Jason S. Sexton interviews twenty-four former prisoners who participated in the incarcerated church in order to present a coherent theological vision of what the members of the prison church both are and could increasingly become "on the inside." Ecclesial Practices: Journal of Ecclesiology and Ethnography 5, no. 2 (2018): 172–90.

Jason S. Sexton argues that lack of engagement with the theological roots of contemporary punishment, correction, and rehabilitation both prevents adequately grappling with the foundational underpinnings of the prison as a reality and also doesn't adequately allow the prison and its fullest operative realities to be understood. Religions 10, no. 2 (2019): 1–14.
