Hey friends! As we are working towards sanctification and producing holy habits in our life, we can't start that conversation without talking about spiritual formation, and what better person to have that conversation with than Spiritual Formation Director, Dr. Elaina Barron!

Elaina is a certified spiritual director who offers soul care and discipleship to women around the world. For thirty years she has been caring for the church and women of all ages in the areas of next steps, transitions, marriafe, parenting, listening tot he Spirit and deepening their walk with God. She holds a Masters of Divinity and a Doctorate of Ministry. She is passionate about the word of God and helping others slow down and truly experience the abundant life that Jesus promised in John 10:10. This life, she believes, comes through interntionally seeking a more contemplative rhythm of communing with God. Through her work as a spiritual director and her podcast What You Love, women all over the world are learning what it means to live a "with God" life.

In this conversation Elaina breaks down what spiritual formation is, and emphasizes the lifelong journey that it requires. I know you're going to love this conversation, and as you listen, we would love for you to ponder on these three questions:
1. What about this converastion makes me feel uncomfortable? 
2. Where do I look least like Christ? 
3. Are these choices moving me towards Christ or away from Christ? 

Thanks for listening and sharing with a friend!
