This course provides a conceptual and practical understanding of a model of spiritual direction that builds on evangelical theology but draws freely from other Christian traditions. The format focuses on developing categories for understanding the vision of what the Spirit longs to accomplish in a Jesus follower, the obstacles posed particularly by the flesh (flesh dynamics), and the process of the Spirit in achieving His purposes, a process that directs spiritual direction. Class interaction illustrates the model of spiritual direction that is presented. This course is Pass/Fail.
