COT:
Spiritual formation is not optional. Every person is being formed from their birth until their death. The only option we have in the process is whether to engage with it intentionally. I recently read a book, Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer, that I thought offered a useful model for understanding what forms us. He divides the process into 6 key factors: Habits, Relationships, the Stories we tell ourselves, and Environment – all these things happen over Time and through Experience.
Of these, I found the idea of Stories to be especially impactful. Often we tell ourselves stories about who we are, why we are here, what we are trying to do, what we are good at, what we are bad at, and others. It’s important to remember that these stories not only remind us of where we came from but also shape our future. The stories we believe can dictate the story that we live out. And much like habits, these stories can be changed for the better. I don’t mean that you should fabricate a fantasy, but you can change the way that you interpret the events and circumstances of your life. You can see your hardships as trials that lead to growth and strength. You can see your blessings as opportunities to bless others rather than a treasure you need to protect from enemies. That can change the very lense by which you see the world.
