Ep 98: The Critical Journey w/ Dr. Jim Reiter

Dr. Jim Reiter joins Brian to discuss The Critical Journey, a book weโ€™ve discussed a few times on the podcast.

It posits six phases in our walk toward becoming more like Jesus, though modern Christianity focuses almost exclusively on the first three. Our lack of education on and guidance through Stages 4, 5, and 6 is one of the key drivers of The Great Omission – the condition we are all here to explore and help overcome.

Jim and Brian explore the ups and downs of the modern church, our deep desire for connection and spiritual formation, and the impact of The Great Omission on our souls and communities.

Jim spent many years in pastoral ministry and Christian leadership before he and his wife launched an effort to help people wade into the deep end of spiritual formation on a more personal, individual level. He is a keen cultural observer, critical thinker, and wonderful communicator.
