The Journey of Formation

from John Mathewson · host John T Mathewson

Are you feeling frustrated because you still haven't figured out exactly who you are?In this episode, we dive into why the journey of formation and self-discovery is a process, not a one-time, overnight realization. If you are upset that you don't have everything perfectly figured out yet, this episode is your reminder to take a deep breath—it is a journey, and your true identity isn't just going to be handed to you in an instant.Join us as we break down the two critical stages of this ongoing journey:The Encounter: We discuss the powerful moments when God meets you right in the middle of your story. These are the times of radical revelation and sudden awareness where you realize, "I never saw that before".The Surrender: Once you have that encounter, what comes next? We explore why true formation requires letting go. Whether it is an old way of thinking, a lie you've been in agreement with, or something you've been running hard after, you must surrender it to embrace the "more" that God has for you.Stop rushing the process. Tune in to learn how to lean into your encounters, find the courage to surrender, and embrace the lifelong journey of discovering who you are.
