Spiritual formation is inevitable. Whether we realize it or not, our hearts and minds are being shaped every day by someone or something. The question is, who or what is forming you?
In this episode, Brian and Katie Hess talk about what spiritual formation is and why it matters. They explore why transformation into the image of Jesus does not happen by accident, and why followers of Christ must be intentional about allowing the Holy Spirit to shape their desires, character, and way of life.
