The Problem Of Emotionally Unhealthy Spirituality

Week 1: Emotional health and spiritual maturity cannot be separated. It is impossible to be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature.

When we ignore the emotional component of our lives, we move through the motions of Christian disciplines, activities, and behaviours, but deeply rooted behavioral patterns from our past continue to hinder us from an authentic life of maturity in Christ.

We often neglect to reflect on what is going on inside us and around us (emotional health) and are too busy to slow down to be with God (contemplative spirituality). As a result, we run the high risk of remaining stuck as spiritual infants, failing to develop into spiritually/emotionally mature adults in Christ.


Biblical References: 1 Samuel 15:20-24, Deuteronomy 8:3-5
