Kingdom Life
This page is under construction. Please check back later.
We believe the areas outlined below are crucial to building a transformative relationship with God.
While there many elements to fruitfully pursuing spiritual formation, over the years we have identified a handful of extremely helpful and practical aspects to Kingdom Life that have proven to be foundational. So whereas our articles on Formational Theology address a number of important concepts that are central to spiritual formation, within this area of Kingdom Life we will attempt to provide the most important focal points we know of that can help us move forward in very practical ways. (Some articles will appear in both areas: Theology and Life).
Each of the areas below will be explored in separate articles.

If at first glance this seems like an overwhelming list, please rest assured that you are not required to master any of them! These are all areas in which we need to grow throughout our lifetime. We will never arrive at a place where we have nothing left to discover or experience in any aspect of spiritual growth. God is infinite. So we will never be done growing up in Him.
What we want you to know is that God always has more to reveal to us, more to lead us into. That's Good News! Enjoy your journey!
