Dear Lighthouse Trails: By the grace of God, I have led women’s Bible studies since 1982.

November 16, 2016 by Lighthouse Trails author

By Ray Yungen Contemplative advocates propose that there has been something vital and important missing from the church for centuries.

Silence—The Language of God? (And Some Folks Promoting it)

June 10, 2016 by Lighthouse Trails Editors

By Ray Yungen For many years during my research, I would come across the term contemplative prayer.

Spiritual Formation Versus The Life of Christ—Which One Will You Choose?

November 8, 2015 by Lighthouse Trails Editors

Spiritual formation is sweeping quickly throughout Christianity today. It’s no wonder, when the majority of Christian leaders have either endorsed the movement or given it a silent pass.
