Bringing Spiritual Formation to the Church
A Mini Course
When I get asked about spiritual formation, the primary questions revolve around spiritual formation in the church. My hope for this mini-course is to provide a strategy to think well about both spiritual formation in general, but also about shepherding a community into a deeper life with God.
Class Content:
The Problem
What Not to Do
Everything Grounded in God
Salvation as the Fountain for Spiritual Formation
Walking in the Spirit
A Theory of Change
Using the Spiritual Theology Diagnostic
Encouragement and Advice
Here is my advice for this mini-course. Take some time with each video, and listen to the whole course through before you take notes or do anything about them. Allow yourself the space to pause and consider. If you feel overwhelmed at any point, you might want to pause and jump ahead to the final two discussions, which I hope will encourage you. Ultimately, my hope for this is a deeper form of discernment for how we shepherd the people of God, remembering that these are his people ultimately. I hope this encourages you.
