Whether you realize it or not, your mental image of God is shaping you.

If you believe He is distant, you’ll become guarded. If you believe He is disappointed, you’ll strive for acceptance. If you believe He is good, you’ll learn to live at rest.

In this episode of Spiritually Formed, Brian and Katie Hess explore how our vision of God drives our spiritual formation, the two primary ways we form beliefs about His character, and why knowing the truth about what God is really like changes everything.

Spiritual formation is inevitable. Whether we realize it or not, our hearts and minds are being shaped every day by someone or something. The question is, who or what is forming you?

In this episode, Brian and Katie Hess talk about what spiritual formation is and why it matters. They explore why transformation into the image of Jesus does not happen by accident, and why followers of Christ must be intentional about allowing the Holy Spirit to shape their desires, character, and way of life.
