Synopsis
A fresh approach to spiritual formation!
In the past, church leaders have turned to small groups or other kinds of discipleship programs to encourage spiritual growth in their churches. Yet, despite good intentions, the deeper experiences of spiritual transformation they had hoped for remained elusive. STIR calls church leaders to reclaim an essential biblical truth — that the process of spiritual growth is more than a one-size-fits-all program; it happens best through intentional relationships with others in the body of Christ. Three distinct, sequential stages of spiritual development typically occur as people mature in their spiritual walk with Christ, and they need different kinds of relationships to support their growth through those different seasons. STIR describes those stages — learning together, journeying together, and following together — and shows how progress through these stages is best made in the context of relationships that change in nature over time.
