    Is Your Church Doing “Spiritual Formation”? (Important Reasons Why They Shouldn’t) Editor’s Note: Lighthouse Trails wrote this report in 2014. Since then, we have watched “Spiritual Formation” explode within the church. After over twenty years of warnings, to our dismay, the issue has not been challenged or even questioned by most of today’s Christian leaders and pastors.
