Spiritual Formation in Synergy
Synergy is a family of churches committed to the renewal of all things through the Holy Spirit. Our teams (including this new Spiritual Formation team) support churches to be dynamic and healthy.
Listen on:
We’re excited to bring you these podcasts from the Synergy Spiritual Formation Team. The team’s aim is to:
Explore - finding out how communities and individuals in Synergy are already engaging in spiritual formation and signpost towards existing resources
Integrate - using existing opportunities in Synergy (summit, clusters, annual conference, retreats etc) to keep spiritual formation in our practices and vocabulary
Innovate - developing new ways to participate in spiritual formation together across generations, cultures and faith stages.
In this 20 minute podcast, the team plus guest Simon Shaw introduce themselves and talk about what spiritual formation means to them personally and how it features as part of Synergy.
