"Learning to live as Christ-formed people is a matter of discipleship, sometimes called spiritual formation. I actually prefer the phrase life formation because this formation is a claim upon our entire life.”

I like this comment a lot. We’ve tended to create a false dichotomy between the physical and spiritual. This has not served us well, creating a disconnect between our physical existence and life from following Jesus. It is, as you say, “life transformation” not transformation in some intangible form called “spirit” or “soul”.

This is the same reason I really dislike the phrase “soul-winning” (even though “soul” is more properly understood as “life”). I’m not trying to win some non-physical entity. I’m after transformation of the whole-person: body, soul, and spirit.
