About this Spiritual Formation Course

This group will meet on Wednesdays, 6:00–7:30 PM in the Word of Life Ministry Pulse Student classroom for this twelve-week gathering led by Pastor Kevin. The Journey is designed to help us explore the process of Christian spiritual formation, growing in freedom and wholeness and becoming more like Jesus from the inside out.

For those new to the idea of spiritual formation, or those who want language and practices to carry it deeper, this course is a good place to begin.


Free for Individuals and Groups

Each week we will gather to learn, discuss, pray, and practice together. Spiritual growth happens best in community, and all that is asked to join this journey is a willingness to be open with God and a heart ready to listen to others. The heart of The Journey is to move beyond information and into a richer, transformative friendship with Jesus.


Main Focus – Spring Session (12 Weeks)

This second session will invite us into three foundational practices:
  • Community & Life Together: Formed in Love, Not in Isolation
  • Justice & The Right Treatment of Neighbor: Love Made Public
  • Missional Living & Being Sent: Living as a People of The Way

Each gathering includes a short teaching, a contemplative prayer exercise, group reflection, and a take-home practice.


The Bigger Picture – The Journey Over 3 Years

This fall is only the beginning. The Journey is a three-year path of intentional formation:
  • Year 1 – Belovedness: Discovering identity in God’s love and resting in grace.
  • Year 2 – Transformation: Practicing rhythms of prayer, worship, and discipleship that reshape us into Christlikeness.
  • Year 3 – Sent Life: Living out the love of Christ in community, justice, and mission.

Together, these years create a cycle of deepening friendship with God that moves from being loved → to being formed → to being sent.


Learning Outcomes

The Journey will help you…
  • Root your life in the truth that you are God’s beloved.
  • Develop habits of prayer and rest that cultivate trust.
  • Learn to recognize God’s voice and presence in daily life.
  • Grow in community and mission as expressions of love.
