We all long for transformation and wholeness. But simply adding one more spiritual practice to your week, without understanding the power of our union with Christ, won’t get us there. In a culture saturated with spiritual options, Christians need clarity about what actually transforms. At its heart, spiritual formation finds its place within our union with Christ—abiding in him so that his life reshapes our desires, relationships, and leadership.
In this cohort, we’ll explore formation as God designed it: rooted in Scripture, grounded in the historic practices of the church, and aimed at genuine transformation. In a moment when wellness culture invites us to curate our own spirituality and mimics Christian practices, this cohort will help us recover what makes spiritual formation distinctly gospel-centered. Over six 90-minute sessions, we’ll engage disciplines that have shaped Christians for centuries like prayer, Scripture meditation, sabbath, and solitude—not as techniques for self-improvement, but as ways of abiding in Christ and walking in step with his Spirit.
Each session will combine teaching, reflection, and practical direction, helping you see how spiritual formation connects to the gospel itself and your life with Christ. You’ll learn to discern cultural counterfeits, recover the heart behind the disciplines, and develop a clear, sustainable path of growth in Christ.
Those who sign up for this cohort will receive free copies of:
1. Sinclair Ferguson, Worthy: Living in Light of the Gospel
2. John Starke, The Possibility of Prayer: Finding Stillness with God in a Restless World

Much of modern spiritual formation focuses on cultivating practices to form us and help us reach communion with God. Paul begins elsewhere. His spirituality starts with who we are in Christ. Spiritual formation doesn’t move us toward communion with Christ; it begins from it. We are justified by grace, not by progress in healing. Union with Christ is not the goal of formation — it’s the ground of it.
In an age defined by achievement and exhaustion, we often turn to spiritual formation for relief — to manage our burnout, calm our anxieties, and reclaim a sense of balance. But the goal of formation is not self-soothing or self-optimization; it is holiness. Practices that once aimed at God have too often been untethered from the historical faith and repurposed for personal improvement. Spiritual disciplines are not curated to serve our preferences or emotional needs, but to conform us to the pattern of Christ’s holiness and love. The aim is not simply peace of mind, but participation in his life.
Test Case: Sabbath
The Christian life is not a quest to find what we lack, but an awakening to what we’ve already received. In union with Christ, we have access to his very life — his Spirit, his strength, his intercession, his love. Spiritual formation is the practice of drawing from that shared life. What is true of Christ is true of you; what belongs to Christ belongs to you.
Test Case: Solitude
The New Testament locates the presence of God not in temples made by hands but in people joined to Christ. True spirituality isn’t primarily found in sacred buildings or in retreat centers, but within you. The Spirit forms Christ within, turning ordinary life into holy ground. If you are the Temple, then you are the place of prayer.
Test Case: Lectio Divina
Spiritual formation has two sides that are meant to live in tension and harmony: formation by rhythm and formation by encounter. Rhythms are the altars we build in our lives — the practices, habits, and patterns that shape our loves and make space for God. Encounter is the fire that falls on those altars — the living presence of God that renews and transforms us beyond what rhythms alone can do. How do you build rhythms and seek the face of God? We need both: structure and Spirit, pattern and presence, altar and flame—this is a theology of renewal.
Test Case: Rule of Life and Relational Prayer
Spiritual formation is not a solo pursuit. The local church is the ecosystem of grace where Christ’s life takes root and grows to maturity. A culture of formation means every member sees themselves on a path of growth, and every structure — worship, community, leadership — serves that end. Churches become incubators of maturity when they share a common language of grace, clear paths for growth, and rhythms that help people abide in Christ together.
