As New York pastor Rich Villodas defines it, a deeply formed life is a life marked by integration, intersection, intertwining, and interweaving, holding together multiple layers of spiritual formation. This kind of life calls us to be people who cultivate lives with God in prayer, move toward reconciliation, work for justice, have healthy inner lives, and see our bodies and sexuality as gifts to steward.

Thanksgiving is a time to remember all the good things God has graciously given to us. But sometimes the craziness of the season can keep us from taking time to thank God for his many gifts. With encouraging devotions from Paul David Tripp, these short devotions only take 5 minutes to read, but will encourage you to meditate on God’s mercy throughout the day.
