In this conversation, LaSaundra Gibson and Dr. Cindy S. Lee explore the concept of spiritual formation, particularly challenging the Western-centric views that have influenced Christianity. They discuss cyclical vs. linear spirituality, reimagining time as led by nature and seasons rather than clocks, listening to the soul’s longings, and honoring ancestral wisdom. The conversation emphasizes the significance of communal spirituality, especially by honoring the Sabbath as a spiritual practice that promotes justice and equality. Dr. Lee advocates for a more inclusive understanding of spirituality that embraces uncertainty and the diverse experiences of individuals.
