Over time, grit is what separates fruitful lives from aimlessness.

The ministry of bearing with one another is learning to hear God speak through difficult people.

It only makes sense to ask God for guidance in the context of a life committed to "seeking first the kingdom."

Spiritual formation is for everyone. Just as there is an 'outer you' that is being formed and shaped all the time, like it or not, by accident or on purpose, so there is an 'inner you.' You have a spirit. And it's constantly being shaped and tugged at: by what you hear and watch and say and read and think and experience.

For the soul to be well, it needs to be with God.
