Spiritual Formation

179 posts

Spiritual Formation is the intentional process of the “inner you” being shaped and fashioned into the likeness of Christ.

At its heart, it is not about following a set of dry rules or external behaviors; rather, it is a “rhythm dance” where we learn to step in sync with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

This category explores how the soul is nurtured through the intersection of faith and mental health.

It moves beyond “pretending and hiding” to an authentic life where the internal dynamics of the soul are restored.

By leaning into the “spiritual gift of stillness” and answering the deep questions of spiritual theology, we move from being shaped by the world to being formed by the Spirit.

Key focuses include:

  • The “Little Christ” Journey: Cooperating with God’s work to transform our character.

  • Quietness and Soul-Care: Tools to calm the “monkey mind” and find resilience in a distracted world.

  • Providential Living: Learning to “build a boat” that catches the wind of God’s grace.

  • Healing the Soul: A “little by little” approach to spiritual growth that leads to emotional and mental wholeness.

This category is for anyone seeking to move past religious performance and into a dynamic, pulsating relationship with the Creator—finding health, peace, and purpose in the process.
