How might your experiences in the cycle of spiritual growth help you provide more effective SoulCare?
-
The cycle of spiritual growth growth helps me to make a more inside look of myself and enables me to depend more on the Spirit of God in order to provide effective SoulCare
-
My own experiences in the cycle of spiritual growth help me see my interior world more clearly. It allows me to identify and acknowledge where I am at in that moment, quickly, so I can move through the phases to free me to turn my curious focus on what is going on for the person requiring SoulCare.
As brokenness is the first step is in this cycle, in the journey of SoulCare I will be looking to see where the person is expressing brokenness. Because it is part of my own experience, I will recognise it when I see it happening. When that that is expressed it might just be where the Spirit wants to move in that person’s life. Then I will look for other phases of Spiritual Growth and hopefully move where the Spirit is moving. -
Having experience the five phases of spiritual growth, I found it easy to relate to the lecture. Because I know what it feels like to be broken, to go before God in repentance and the struggle of letting go, abandoning me for more of him; I better understand what going on in me. Because I know what it feels like, I have these experiences that will enable me through the power and leading of the Holy Spirit to have the confidence in God working through me to help someone else, as He has helped me.

They bring me back to humility and dependence on the Spirit in providing Soulcare.

Having been in spiritually forming conversations, having seen the flesh dynamics at work in my own processing of my life, having been called to see what the Spirit is doing beneath the surface, and having to wait for any small sign of change in myth own life, I am more in touch with what the one I am talking with will experience.
My own brokenness, my own need, my inadequacy puts me in the spot of needing to depend.
