Spiritual Histories

This session is the third of four introductory sessions for a Small Group. Members are encouraged to think about their spiritual journey – their spiritual history as well as where they are now.

We designed this series of introductory to be used in the following order: First Steps, Connections, Spiritual Histories, and Dreams and the Future.

Member Preparation

In preparation for this session, think about your own spiritual journey – where you’ve been, and where you are now.

These questions provide ways you may want to approach this topic. Remember to focus on just one or two of the questions, if you choose to use them, as this will allow you to explore the topic in more depth.

  • All of us have a personal spiritual history. What are some of the key moments, practices, experiences that stand out in your spiritual history?
  • Where are you now in your spiritual journey? Are you starting on a new path? At a crossroads? Walking a familiar road?
  • Each of us has a different experience with terms like “spirituality”; how does this term resonate with you? Is there another term that feels more in sync with your experience?
