Active and Passive Spirituality

The podcast explores the concepts of active and passive spirituality. Active spirituality involves taking initiative and making efforts to grow in one's spiritual journey. It includes practices like prayer, reading scripture, and participating in community. On the other hand, passive spirituality involves surrendering control and accepting the circumstances and pain in one's life. It requires trusting in God's work and finding joy in the present moment. Both active and passive spirituality are important and complementary in the process of spiritual formation.
