Soul Care and Spiritual Formation w/ Adam Ormord | Ep 96

What is soul care, and why does it matter for spiritual formation? In Episode 96, Brian opens Season 5, Conversations, with Adam Ormord, founder of LifePoint Resources. Adam is a pastor, spiritual director, and spiritual formation guide who helps pastors, leaders, and everyday followers of Jesus pay attention to the condition of their souls. The conversation explores Christian spiritual formation as a lifelong process of experiencing God’s love and being formed into the image of Christ for the sake of the world. Adam and Brian discuss why discipleship is often reduced to information transfer or short-term programs, and why becoming more like Jesus requires time, relational safety, story, experience, and the slow work of God in the inner person.

Soul Care and Spiritual Formation

Welcome to Season 5!

We kick off this new season (called Conversations) with Brian’s short introduction to the new material. Then he has a fascinating conversation with pastor, thinker, spiritual director, and innovator Adam Ormord.

As we continue to wrestle with all we’ve explored in the first four seasons, Adam helps us step back and contemplate what “spiritual formation” truly is.

Is it the same thing as discipleship? How does the modern church play a role in our formation?

And what does this odd term “soul care” mean? What role might it play in our discipleship journey?

Jump into this fascinating, challenging, provocative conversation with one of the leaders of the modern spiritual formation effort.

Is God Partial? Spiritual First Class and the Love of God | Ep 146

What if you believe God loves everyone equally, but somewhere deep in your heart, you’re not so sure? In Episode 146, Brian explores the hidden idea that God is partial—that some people receive greater affection, access, or favor because they are more successful, useful, disciplined, or spiritually mature. We’ll examine how this idea surfaces through performance, suffering, comparison, spiritual celebrity, and our relationships with others—and how deep discipleship invites us to experience God’s love as a gift rather than something we earn.
