dc.description.abstract | This Research Portfolio explores the theme “Being Transformed to Help Others Transform: Exploring Spiritual Formation and The Life-Changing Power of Lectio Divina.” It encompasses the knowledge of God, self-awareness, and a transformative model to guide others on their path to Christlikeness. The author's spiritual autobiography reveals God's profound impact on his life, inspiring a ministry of reconciliation and growth in Christlikeness. The Model of Spiritual Formation postulates that nurturing mature Christians involves guiding them to embody Christ's essence, engaging with diverse cultures, honing expertise, and multiplying their transformative influence. The Research Project rigorously tested a facet of this Model with a small group from a local community church in Scarborough, ON. The findings validate the effectiveness of lectio divina as an impactful tool for spiritual transformation.
Through this journey, lectio divina emerged as a formidable and indispensable practice in facilitating the spiritual formation of individuals, propelling them towards Christlikeness. This Research Portfolio uncovers new horizons of understanding and practical application, illuminating the path to profound spiritual growth and metamorphosis. | en_US |
