Prayer + Formation
Aware of God’s Presence
Our spiritual growth is dependent upon a relationship with God. We want to relate to Him as our friend, Father, and Savior, and be attentive to what He has to say. We do this in two ways:
Prayer: Conversing with God
A life of fresh, ongoing communication with God via prayer and worship.
Prayer practices; spiritual disciplines (individual disciplines); worship postures (praise, lament, joy, repentance, etc.)
Formation: Following the Spirit
A life lived in tune with the Spirit’s leading and promptings.
Confession/repentance; the Lord’s grace; obedience to follow what God says in every arena (marriage, finances, parenting, sex + sexuality, work, words, thoughts, deeds, relationships, etc.) -- “where am I out of alignment with what God has called me to?”
