Spiritual Formation

“Busy,” “stressed,” and “can’t talk, gotta go” are quickly becoming our default answers to “How are you?” And the busier we are, the more burned-out we get. Some say it’s a millennial thing. 

How do we listen to God when so much is distracting us, from our phones, the internet, social media, and more? 

"It was the beginning of learning to let him be in charge of our prayer times together, learning to let Him speak, and learning to really listen and hear his voice."

Summer is great. But being out of your normal routine can make staying connected to your faith a little difficult. Here are three resources to keep your quiet times strong.

Since that day, music has been deeply a part of my discipleship. I would identify myself as a musichead.
