Welcome!

I’m so glad you’re interested in the process and idea of personal formation, especially as it relates to your own journey.

The journey of growth and becoming can often feel difficult and lonely.

We live in a historical moment when we have more information at our fingertips than ever.

That can make it feel overwhelming to figure out who to listen to help you make sense of what you know and do in your life.

It helps to have a guide.

That’s why I started collecting resources that help me make sense of my own journey—from clarifying vision to setting intentions to changing actions.

And that’s why I’m sharing those resources with you.

To me, the journey of personal formation focuses on cultivating a deliberate, embodied practice that builds a specific kind of character on the foundation of our unique identity.

Personal formation invites us to become hopeful, creative, and wise by:

• reorienting our desires to move toward ultimate meaning and purpose, and beyond simply satisfying our appetites,
• discerning “equipment for living” that helps us make decisions about the kind of life we wish to lead, and
• changing our behaviors to do what matters most for ourselves and for others.

My work is rooted in the Christian tradition and draws from historical and theological concepts of spiritual formation and discipleship.

In the deliberate practice of formation, we study, question, listen to, and follow those teachers whose character and behavior consistently demonstrate this process throughout their lives.

By imitating these teachers, we learn from their successes, failures, and wisdom, in the process becoming more like them, and more fully ourselves.

Shalom,
