Until recently, my impression of “spiritual formation” was that it was just another word for spiritual disciplines, which, as usually prescribed, have not worked for me.

But reading Robert Mulholland's work* has made a big impression on me, as if he knows my inner struggles and self-protection. I feel like I’ve been probed, yet made hungry for wholeness and authenticity after years of performing.

Join me as I share my journey of trying to let go of asserting control over my spiritual life as I seek to be formed by God into the likeness of Christ and love others from the heart.

I noticed that the Formatio publishing group uses the chambered nautilus as a symbol of spiritual formation because of its continual spiral journey outward as it moves from its center.
