Show Notes
How do we determine where we are on the spiritual journey? It can be 1 step forward, 2 steps back! This is what we call the Critical Journey, a model that includes 6 stages in our journey in Soul Care that we all experience in our journey with the Lord, moving toward a place of absolute being, and filled with the Father’s love.
1. The Converted life – we become very aware of God and yield our life to his control.
2. The Disciples life - Very hungry with the things of god. Necessary to understand an understanding to walk with God.
3. The Productive life – we take the information we learned in phase 2 and begin to put it to work in serving the lord. The danger is an addiction to success, which eventually leads us to hitting the “wall.”
4. The Journey Inward - Moving from doing to being and letting go of the idea of “success” – complete surrender.
5. The Journey Outward - A renewed sense of calling and an integration of soul and role. Content with a more hidden life.
6. The life of Love - Deep, vibrant inner life that embraces your true self.
