I have A Dream. . . and a Hope
I dream of a day when spiritual formation has so saturated all who follow hard after Jesus that they become known to all as experts in how to live well.
• How to love a spouse well.
• How to raise children well.
• How to study well.
• How to face adversity well.
• How to run businesses and financial institutions well.
• How to form community life well.
• How to reach out to those on the margins well.
• How to die well.
