This document is a Spiritual Growth Plan submitted by a student at Liberty University’s School of Divinity as partial fulfillment of requirements for the course Spiritual Formation (DMSN 520). It outlines a personal strategy for spiritual development, intended for review by Professors Benjamin K. Forrest.
This type of plan is typically completed by students in pastoral counseling or related fields to demonstrate self-awareness and a commitment to ongoing spiritual discipline. It’s used as an assessment tool to gauge a student’s ability to apply course concepts to their own life. This assignment exists to encourage intentionality in spiritual practices.
This document does not offer generalized spiritual guidance or theological instruction. It is a personalized plan and will not serve as a substitute for course materials or broader study of spiritual formation.
The full document provides details on the student’s chosen spiritual disciplines – scripture intake and journaling – strategies for battling temptations like pride and gluttony, and a commitment to guarding against personal blind spots. It also includes a bibliography of sources consulted. This preview does *not* include the full details of the student’s personal reflections, specific scripture choices, or the complete list of cited works.
