I'm in the process of recording phone interviews with about a dozen church leaders on this topic. I've given them five open ended questions to think about in advance. These are all people that I have met through the two year spiritual formation program of Grace Institute for Spiritual Formation that I helped found and direct. (less)

Quotes by Bradley Hanson (?)

“All of us are on a spiritual journey and we all have a spirituality, an ultimate commitment and practices that express and nurture that commitment.
Spirituality is not like frosting on a cake, an additional and optional layer, but is more like the baking powder that pervades an entire cake with its leavening power.”
― Bradley Hanson, Spirituality and Your Life Story
