Spiritual Renewal
Spiritual renewal is a process that helps Christians build character as they reach a deeper understanding of God's will for the world in general and for their lives individually.
Character is generally regarded as moral competence and ethical uprightness. Christian character is more than that. It includes a certain worldview that searches for purpose, meaning and understanding in the fullness of God. Attitude and integrity play significant roles in our character development.
Vocation plays a role in forming and revealing our character. Often we think of our gifts and talents in terms of our vocation. Even more importantly, though, God wants to be part of our vocation. Our work influences us and our outlook on the world, but with God's help we can influence the world through our work.
We encourage Christians to use a six step process to think about how their work interacts with their understanding of God. Conveniently, it has the acronym SPIRIT: Story, Prayer, Intentionality, Reflection, Internalization, and Transformation. Read the articles below for Dan Roloff's explanation of this process:
