Grow deep roots through continuous listening

Jesus teaches us to develop deep roots through on going listening to the word.  

Matthew 13:20-21 20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet such a person has no root, but endures only for a while, and when trouble or persecution arises on account of the word, that person immediately falls away.

Do we ignore Jesus' teaching to keep listening to the word so our roots grow deep?

Note: Listening to the word and accepting it with joy is what brings us to Jesus, but we need to develop roots (keep listening! start doing!) in the word to sustain us through hard times which are certain.
