John Mark Comer credits Richard Foster with launching a “renaissance” of spiritual formation in the Western Protestant church. But does this movement lead believers toward biblical faith—or away from it?
Bob DeWaay examines the claims of modern spiritual formation and warns that true spiritual growth does not come through mystical practices, spiritual directors, or contemplative techniques, but through faith in the revealed truth of Scripture.
This episode also addresses panentheism—the belief that God is somehow enfolded into creation—and explains the crucial biblical distinction of God’s transcendence and immanence. God is fully present everywhere, yet forever distinct from His creation.
Drawing from the book of Hebrews, Bob warns believers not to seek God through mystical experiences, but to approach Him through the new birth in Jesus Christ alone.
