5 Steps to Practical Spiritual Growth: Understand the Power of Fallen World Gravity - Peter Mead

So much is written about spiritual growth, and anyone in a relationship with God wants to grow spiritually. Yet often it can seem so complicated! We can feel pulled between intellectual approaches on the one hand and the pursuit of mystical experiences on the other. One expert tells us to look back into the mists of time, while another tells us to look within or to look at their list of how-to steps. In the midst of all the noise, somehow Jesus often gets lost. In this Pre-Forum Conference, we will consider some simple biblical insights that will help us grow spiritually in a straightforward, practical, and Jesus-focused way.

Session 1: Understand the Power of Fallen World Gravity
Our world was profoundly changed by humanity’s great fall in Genesis 3. The after-effects of that day still shape every day for us all. How does the spiritual gravity of this fallen world pull on us in respect to religious inclinations, cultural/societal leanings, and most importantly for this seminar, spiritual growth?
