Fully Forming
Read full descriptionHide full description
Fully Forming is a year-long Christian devotional designed to help you practice your relationship with God. Each day includes Morning, Midday, and Evening reflections that invite you to engage Scripture and practice rhythms of spiritual formation in everyday life. Over the course of the year, Fully Forming explores practices including prayer, meditation, submission, fasting, confession, service, simplicity, celebration, study, and more. The goal is not simply to learn about spiritual disciplines, but to use them as practices that help us know God more deeply, love others more fully, and become increasingly formed into the life of Christ. Features include: • 365 days of devotional content • Morning, Midday, and Evening readings • Scripture references that open directly to the biblical passage • Optional reminders for each daily reading • Easy navigation between days and reading times • Resume automatically where you left off • Works offline for the devotional content • No ads and no account required Fully Forming is based on the devotional originally written by Nick Acker and is designed for personal spiritual growth, reflection, prayer, and practice.
