As we explore ideas and deep discipleship, what role does the local church play in our spiritual formation?  Is it central to it, directing it, a part of it, or not related to it at all?

Today's episode relies heavily on a resource called the Formation Evaluation Worksheet.  You can find it on the Resources tab at www.soilandroots.org.
