Dynamics of Spiritual Formation

 

 

Course description

Spiritual formation or spiritual growth is an essential component of the spiritual life. This course examines the biblical and theological understanding of spiritual growth. This examination will include traditional and contemporary understanding of what spiritual growth is. At the heart of spiritual growth is self-understanding, and a disciplined life. Some spiritual disciplines and practices will be discussed. The use of some spiritual tools such as enneagram and contemplative praying will be introduced. This is a 3 unit/credit course.
