Becoming Who You Are Through Unintentional Apprenticeship

Our formation and growth happen unconsciously over time through our daily experiences. By simply living our lives, we are constantly shaping ourselves into someone. The question arises: who are we becoming in this process? Contrary to starting with a blank slate, our journey to follow Jesus requires us to challenge and redirect the natural course of our development. An example from Bonhoeffer's life illustrates the intentional effort needed to cultivate a community amidst challenging circumstances, emphasizing the significance of intentional apprenticeship and self-awareness in our transformation.
