Spiritual Formation

So this semester I am taking a class called Spiritual Formation, and for one of our assignments we have to make a "creative project" displaying spiritual formation. I have chosen to make a video. The gist of it is going from a broken life through a journey towards being healed. This is being portrayed via cardboard testimonies. I could not do this project alone so i recruited 6 friends, 3 female 3 male, to help me with it. 

Side note; at the end of the creative project we must write a short paper on how the project has helped us grow and grasp spiritual formation or something of that kind.

I did not think I would have anything to write about. Until I witnessed my friends write down some of their innermost secrets and struggles. Everything from sexual addiction and abuse to the feeling of being hopeless and having no ambitions; to the flip side of their cards expressing the recovery, redemption, hope, and drive they now have through Christ. This is not just a little film I am making for kicks and giggles; there will be other students that know them that will be seeing this video. Not just students but Professors, people who would have no idea. I pray that they will see the boldness of these six and see the healing they have found through Christ and be inspired. Given hope. Sure they may not (probably did not) get there through sola scriptura But through a process involving solitude, scripture, prayer, and community.




I shall edit this video and maybe post it up her for y'all
