Season 10: Episode 2 | The Road Map of Spiritual Formation, Part 2

Ruth Haley Barton and Steve Wiens continue their conversation about the road map of spiritual formation and discuss what it means to be transformed into the image of Christ. Confirmed to the image of Christ does not mean we are trying to copy Christ, because when we try to copy someone we are not being changed. This is something far deeper. A wonderful rich conversation about holiness as wholeness. Nope it is not Joan Crawford, but Joan Rivers. If you feel shame, you want to listen to this episode. We conclude with the idea of what “for the sake of others” means.
