The greatest need you and I have-the greatest need of collective humanity-is renovation of our heart. That spiritual place with in us from which outlook, choices, and actions come has been formed by a world away from God. Now it must be transformed. Indeed, the only hope of humanity lies in the fact that, as our spiritual dimension has been formed, so it also can be transformed.

Our relations with others are not external. They enter into our very identity. And that's why people struggle with them so.

I do emphasize that we cannot just get out of the Bible a definition of the soul.

Hearing God is about the very specific issue of what it means to live with guidance in our life.

In Spiritual formation we are aiming at a character and life that is so shaped that the deeds of Christ routinely and easily come from what is inside.

Projects of personal transformation rarely succeed by accident, drift, or imposition.

Spiritual people are not those who engage in certain spiritual practices; they are those who draw their life from a conversational relationship with God.
