Experiencing God? Understanding and Evaluating Asceticism and Mysticism - Adam Szabados

Out of a desire to go deeper in their walks with God, many evangelicals are adopting an understanding of spiritual disciplines and spiritual direction that is grounded in asceticism and mysticism. In this workshop, we seek to understand and evaluate the mystical and ascetic traditions, asking honest questions about the true nature of spiritual experience in light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
