Strategy and Soul Care 

By Mindy Caliguire - Thursday, February 28, 2008

For those of us who enjoy the strategic conversations connected to soul development, you might find this book to be helpful and inspiring. Reveal: Where Are You? discusses the results from a massive spiritual growth survey done in 2004 at Willow Creek Community Church (and the growing body of data from other churches who have been surveyed as well). The Reveal website, through the Willow Creek Association, is helpful and interesting, too.

As I work with church leaders around the country (and even internationally), I find a tremendous amount of interest in these survey results–and rightly so. Here we find the convergence of “church growth” and “spiritual growth”.

Have you read it? What do you think about it?

If you want to learn more about connecting spiritual formation, soul care, and strategic next steps, you could

    * attend our next gathering of the Spiritual Formation Alliance–Midwest Region on May 3.  Joel Warne will again facilitate our morning, and then we will enjoy lunch and afternoon workshops followed by a closing session. All are welcome! Register on the site.

    * listen to the audio of a Reveal-related session I gave at last week’s Catalyst Bonfire . (Pastor Harvey Carey’s keynote is excellent, too!) (see also: www.catalystweb.org)
