Christian Spiritual formation is a relational process of intentional transformation whereby our heart and soul as the inmost dimensions of our humanity are being changed in such a way that their natural expression becomes the love of Jesus Christ expressed through the power of the Holy Spirit. Spiritual formation focuses on a person’s actual experiences of their relationship with God. It is intensely practical being lived out in the world today.
Spiritual direction is concerned about the quality of a person’s relationship with God. My role is not to “direct” in the sense of giving advice and solving problems, but rather to help you respond to God’s invitation to a deeper relationship. In a sense, my role is to help you pay attention to what God is saying and how you are responding to His personal invitation to deeper faith and more generous service. My job is to support you to grow in intimacy with God and to live out the consequences of this relationship.
