Spiritual formation is the journey of becoming more like Jesus Christ. Through intentional practices, guided by the power of the Holy Spirit over time, we are transformed from the inside out.
Just like running a marathon, playing an instrument, or learning a new language, spiritual growth doesn’t happen simply by trying harder—it requires intentional training. When we commit to the habits and practices of Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit, we experience deep, lasting transformation. While we are never perfect, we are always progressing in becoming more like Him.
As Dallas Willard beautifully puts it:
"Spiritual formation in the tradition of Jesus Christ is the process of transformation of the inmost dimension of the human being, the heart, which is the same as the spirit or will. It is being formed (really, transformed) in such a way that its natural expression comes to be the deeds of Christ done in the power of Christ."
To set up your own spiritual formation group, we suggest gathering with around 6 people and together working through our book Life Streams
