The Being Formed Podcast

Lacy Finn Borgo's book, "Faith Like a Child," poses a beautiful question, one that we often don't give ourselves permission to ask. What is God like?
How would you answer that question? What does it mean for you to be able to see the God who sees you? How has God been revealed to you through the harsh reality of your own story? How have you experienced a profound grace that others may not have noticed?
This Easter reflection will give you some space to notice and name God in the midst of your own story. Please reach out to us at lifepointresources.org if you need to process your story with someone who will help point you back to "the God who sees."

What do you do when you realize your inner-world is not able to withstand the pressure from your outer-world? What does it mean to pay attention to your soul, or to care for your soul? How would you describe the state of your soul right now?
In attempting to answer these questions, we will first ask a more general question: "What is Soul Care?" One of the most concise and practical definitions of soul care comes from Stephen W. Smith:
"Soul care takes us past the immediate and physical to what is truly important. It figures out what truly matters in life and then realigns the self to those higher priorities...Soul care involves relationships, personal spiritual growth, inner healing and change, rest and rejuvenation, and living with heaven in mind. It slows down the frenetic lifestyle to make time for the soul." (Embracing Soul Care, Copyright 2006, Kregal Publications, 31)
As a means of helping to define soul care, Adam Ormord, the host of The Being Formed Podcast, shares his personal story of hitting rock bottom in life and in ministry, and the restoration that occurred when he began to partner with God in the care of his soul.
We hope you will find this episode helpful as you consider your own journey. If you would like to process how you and God are doing, please reach out.

We're often asked, "What is Spiritual Formation?" Is it some kind of eastern thing? Is it part of the charismatic movement? Is it coming from the Catholic stream? Isn't it interesting how two words can create such confusion? 
In today's episode, we want to help you understand what spiritual formation means and why it matters to us. Hopefully you'll see how "being formed in the image of Christ" is more than just a lofty idea but an invitation to each and every person to experience God's love and live from a place of soul health.
