I’m calling our course “Story-Rich Spiritual Formation with Friends.” The big idea is that to be confident and joyfully obedient disciples of Jesus, we need a vision of His profound goodness, one that he has shown us in our life experience, and which we will more clearly see as we learn to interpret our story from the perspective of God’s story.

This confidence, along with the support of a few friends, helps us embrace the deeper challenges of spiritual formation.

We will learn more about our souls, the various dimensions of thought, feeling, will, body, and relationships.

We will learn how deep and lasting change works, as well as what gets in the way.

“The Christian spiritual journey is a journey we take with others.
Each of us must take our own journey, and for each of us, that journey will be unique.
But God intends no one to make that journey alone.”
(David Benner, Sacred Companions)
