Pastor Scott teaches from 1 Timothy 4 and offers a 6-stage assessment of the spiritual journey of pastors and church leaders. His encouragement is to recognize the invitation and reality of training for the spiritual journey. We're reminded that just as physical training requires intentional effort, our spiritual formation demands even more attention and dedication.

Dallas Willard: "The main thing God gets out of your life is the person you become." Pastor Scott might suggest: "The main thing WE get out of our life is the person we become."
