The 12 Steps and Spiritual Formation: A Conversation with John Ortberg

Join us for an insightful conversation where ⁠Filipe and Mandy Santos⁠ of ⁠Echo Church⁠ in the Bay Area interview ⁠John Ortberg⁠ and they explore spiritual formation, the origins of the 12-step program, and its relevance for church leaders today.

Discover practical wisdom on character, vulnerability, and leveraging technology in a polarized culture.

Spiritual formation is not just about personal growth; it’s about leading others into a transformative relationship with God.

John emphasizes that this process is essential for effective church leadership today. In a world filled with polarization and contempt, fostering a community centered on the teachings of Jesus is more crucial than ever.

Ortberg notes, “The greatest opportunity ever offered to the human race is life in God’s presence with friendship and guidance.”
