Pursuing Biblical Spirituality
For the Church
Grow in your faith through the spiritual disciplines rooted in God’s Word.
Why Biblical Spirituality?
Biblical spirituality matters because it is the means by which Christians grow in godliness and deepen in their relationship with God. The spiritual disciplines—such as prayer, Scripture memory, and Bible intake—are God-ordained practices that shape believers into the image of Christ. Without intentional engagement in these disciplines, Christians risk spiritual stagnation and a weakened faith. By cultivating biblical spirituality, believers experience greater joy, assurance, and effectiveness in their walk with Christ.
Why the Center for Biblical Spirituality?
Led by Dr. Don Whitney, the Center for Biblical Spirituality seeks to reaffirm Midwestern Seminary’s commitment to the holistic formation of its students. By sharing content aimed at spiritual growth and promoting opportunities to engage with other believers in Christ, the purpose of the Center is to stir up one’s affections for the Lord Jesus Christ and His Church, so that God may be glorified in all of life.
