Transitions

I'm wrapping up a 13-month course I have been part of at Fordham focusing on the supervision of spiritual directors. There are five students in our cohort, and each has been presenting on a topic that they feel is critical to the supervision of spiritual directors.

This week one of my colleagues presented on stages of faith development and it got me thinking about transitions. Why transitions? Because it is often when there is an external circumstance in our world that leads to internal reflection and revaluation that we grow in faith. 

Thinking back on my own life some of the largest shifts in faith have happened when I went to college, transferred schools, lost a loved one, and started ministry. But that's just in my life.

​What has caused growth along your spiritual journey and how do you bear witness to it?
