Episode notes
Spiritual Formation's Core Struggle
- John Mark Comer sees spiritual formation as how people are formed into Jesus' image or deformed by the world, flesh, and devil.
- His book Live No Lies addresses obstacles to formation caused by hurry and secular false assumptions.
Formation for Others' Sake
- Spiritual formation must be for the sake of others to reflect Jesus' mission and mercy.
- If formation aims only inwardly, it risks deforming true Christian discipleship into self-centeredness.
Danger of Spiritual Wellness Culture
- The younger generation's formation threat is spiritual wellness culture that prioritizes personal comfort over costly discipleship.
- True following Jesus involves dying to self and laying down life, not just seeking spiritual wellbeing.
