Instructions

Based upon your reading of Foundations of Spiritual Formation (chs. 5–8) and the PowerPoint presentation provided, construct your emerging view of the necessary ingredients that facilitate and promote the spiritual growth of Christians. Do not limit yourself to the traditional spiritual disciplines, but allow what you have read in the texts and found in your relevant biblical texts (biblical support portion) to inform this section of your paper.

You must write 3–5 pages (double-spaced in 12 point Times New Roman font) and draw out any reading or course materials from previous modules that may be relevant to what you are writing in the necessary ingredients portion of your paper. Edit your paper for typos, spelling, and grammar. Be sure to make corrections to previously submitted portions so that you do not continue to receive point deductions for the same mistakes. You must follow current APA format as you write your paper.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
