RETURN TO GOD
Slow down.
Become present to God and honest about what is happening in you.
Most Christians do not need more spiritual content.
They need a clear path for life with God.
There have never been more ways to learn about God.
More sermons.
More podcasts.
More books.
More Bible studies.
More teachers.
More practices.
And somehow, many of us still feel spiritually scattered.
The problem is not always a lack of desire for God.
Sometimes we simply have more spiritual options than we know how to live.
A map helps you recognize where you are, what God may be doing, what is true, and the next faithful step in front of you.
Around here, we keep coming back to three movements:
Slow down.
Become present to God and honest about what is happening in you.
Listen.
Let Scripture and the Holy Spirit reshape the way you see your life.
Take the next faithful step.
You do not need the whole map to begin walking.
Each week, I send one clear reflection to help you practice life with God in the middle of your actual life.
Something from Scripture or ordinary life.
A clearer way to understand what may be happening.
Something simple enough to practice now.
No endless library to keep up with.
No pressure to consume more.
Just a simple place to return each week.
FORMATION, NOT MORE INFORMATION.
Knowing more about God is not the same as becoming more like Jesus.
Spiritual formation happens when what we believe begins to shape the way we pray, work, rest, lead, listen, love, make decisions, and respond when life does not go according to plan.
That is the work here.
Not building an impressive spiritual life.
I'm a pastor, teacher, and guide in spiritual formation.
For more than two decades, I've walked with people trying to follow Jesus through ordinary life—calling and uncertainty, leadership and exhaustion, prayer and silence, family and relationships, faith and doubt.
Again and again, I've seen the same thing:
Build a Better Map is my attempt to help us find one.
A map can show you the path.
Eventually, you have to walk it.
And some roads are better walked with other people.
Little Flock is a spiritual formation community for Christians who want to practice this way of life together.
A place to slow down.
Return to God.
Listen well.
Practice simple rhythms.
Bring your real life.
And become a more grounded, peaceful, Spirit-led presence in the lives of the people around you.
A simple weekly path for life with God.
You do not need to figure out your entire spiritual life today.
Start with the next faithful step.
One story. One map. One faithful next step. Every week.
