This article is a response to the preceding articles. It begins by reflecting on the recent rise of interest in spirituality in society and the mental health professions and then examines the diversity of ways of understanding and practicing spiritual direction. It also discusses the opportunities for an enhanced understanding of spiritual transformation that this diversity provides, and investigates the overlapping and permeable nature of the boundaries between spiritual direction and other relationships of soul care.

Abstract:

Exposure to trauma, grief, and loss (TGL) can elicit spiritual pondering and meaning making, which can manifest as unsettled spiritual rumination or evolve into spiritual growth and transcendence. Incorporating a spiritually informed approach with TGL survivors invites spiritual interaction between the individual and professional helper to move beyond the trauma story and influences toward hope and possibility. This approach benefits survivors and offers the professional helper the potential for personal growth and transcendence. Integrating a spiritually informed approach encourages professio

Abstract:

This article examines spiritual struggle in bereft Christian evangelical students and how struggle might potentiate spiritual growth. The death loss of a close person can result in shattered assumptions about the world that trigger spiritual questions and struggle and spiritual struggle can be a catalyst for growth. To our knowledge, spiritual growth has not been measured utilizing the actual voices of those struggling with the loss, nor has it been measured in Christian evangelical populations who may find it more threatening to yield to spiritual questioning.

Abstract:

Human beings have two experiences; a) physical, and b) spiritual. The physical growth is based on the chronological age, then that is known as adultery. Whereas the spiritual growth is based on the capability level, and the top of this growth is known as maturity. The growth level that is achieved by every individual will be different. Anyone can be adult physically, not spiritually. To be adult spiritually, someone may be mature in his/her personality soul. The people's soul is mature when the people's mature soul is interrelated with religiosity that is known as a maturity of religious soul.

Today's fast-paced digital world has an impact on people's spiritual lives, particularly those of young people. Christian youth should lead lives that are marked by development or progress.

Because of this, the necessity for leaders in human life has always changed with time and has always been a fascinating subject of conversation.

Spiritual coping may be conceptualized as relying upon spiritual beliefs, practices and/or relationships as an aspect of navigating stressful or traumatic experiences.

The Christian life is not static, but marks an expected, if often unspecified, trajectory of growth into maturity.

This essay will attempt to bring clarity to the practice of Christian formation through an analysis of the concept of formation, three key scriptural warrants, the role of the Church in its execution, and especially to the telos of formation.
