Spiritual formation is at the heart of ministry. Before we can effectively lead, teach, evangelize, or accompany others, we must first remain rooted in Jesus Christ. In this Ascend session, we explore what it means to cultivate a deep and lasting relationship with the Lord and to allow our prayer life to shape the way we serve. Ministry is not simply something we do—it flows from who we are in Christ. This session offers practical encouragement for developing a life of prayer, growing in holiness, and staying connected to the Lord amid the demands and responsibilities of ministry.
