About

Spiritual formation is not optional. Everyone is taking part, whether they know it or not.

Formation exists to explore this central question: How are we actually being formed? Our souls are being shaped through our habits, relationships, media consumption, stories, and other routine inputs. The question isn’t whether we are being formed, but rather, how?


Formation is a space for leaders, seekers, and lifelong learners who want to take that question seriously.

Written and hosted by John Ortberg and other leading experts, Formation brings together insights from theology, psychology, and lived experience to explore how real, lasting transformation happens in our lives. We’re not interested in behavioral change, but deep renewal of the mind and heart.
