Part 4 – True transformation, Identity, Character Development, Spiritual Formation, and Discipleship can only happen in healthy communities and relationship with those we have belonging. If this is the case, how do we create, cultivate, and maintain these types of communities?
Part 3 – True transformation, true discipleship, only comes inside of healthy relationship and that is what is missing from the western church. That is how Jesus did it with His disciples. We are designed to live, learn and grow in community.
Part 2 – Transformation = truth + good choices + power | This statement sounds true and is widely accepted in most church circles today. What if I told you that is not the formula for transformation?

If spiritual formation is the central task of the church, how are we doing? Are we seeing and experiencing lasting deep transformation? Are a lot of Christian communities strong and connected, or weak and shallow? If we are honest with ourselves, I think we will answer the latter to both questions. Why?
