My project is to interview 2 leaders from two ministries or churches to find out how they approach spiritual formation\/education in their contexts and among their community of believers. The questions are penetrating. Here are just a few:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In what ways are the sacraments given or experienced that allow for a time of repentance and receiving from God?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How is spiritual remembering practiced, and the spiritual disciplines\u00a0conveyed and taught that will help others imitate the life of Jesus.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How well are people able to share their brokenness, (addictions, temptations, grief, etc.) and able to begin healing within the body of believers?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are new believers provided with guides and mentors?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How is corporate prayer accomplished to engender brokenness, recompense, transformation, and worship?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>How might your church do with these tough questions?
