Start with the Heart: A Guided Spiritual Formation Experience

Start With the Heart

A Guided Spiritual Formation Experience
Formation, Desire, and the Renewing Work of God

Most of us live in a world that starts with behavior—fix the habit, change the outcome, try harder. Scripture begins somewhere deeper: the heart.

Start With the Heart is a guided spiritual formation experience designed to help you slow down, attend to your inner life, and allow God to do His renewing work within you.

This is not a podcast episode or an extended sermon.
It is a guided formation experience created for stillness, prayer, and intentional return—meant to be engaged slowly, not consumed quickly.

This package includes:

• A guided audio teaching that gently leads you through Scripture, reflection, silence, and prayer
• A beautifully designed PDF reflection journal that invites honest engagement with your desires, attention, and interior life through Scripture-based prompts and prayers

Together, the audio and journal create space for God to form the heart over time—not through pressure or self-improvement, but through grace, presence, and faithful attention.

Inside this experience, you’ll explore:

• Why Scripture prioritizes the heart before behavior or outcomes
• How formation differs from self-improvement
• The role of desire, attention, and discernment in the spiritual life
• God’s promise to renew the heart from the inside out
• Gentle practices that help you listen, notice, and return

This resource is designed to be revisited.
You may move through it in one sitting—or return to a section per day or per week. There are no right answers here—only honest ones. Scripture, silence, and prayer do the work God intends them to do.

If you’re weary from striving…
If you sense God inviting you to slow down…
If you long for formation that is faithful, gentle, and rooted in Scripture…

This guided experience is an invitation to begin again—not with effort, but with the heart.
