Practicing the Way - What is Spiritual Formation?

Spiritual formation isn’t a Christian thing or even a religious thing; it’s a human thing. To be human is to grow, mature, and change over time. Formation is simply the process by which our inner person is formed into a particular shape or character. The problem is most of our spiritual formation is unintentional. As a result, we are often “conformed to the pattern of this world,” instead of being transformed into Christlikeness.
