As a ministry leader I need to walk with other ministry leaders who are committed enough, and courageous enough, to deeply experience God together. We need to follow Jesus and not just ask him to accompany us on our ministry journeys since we need him.

So thankful for this letter. I resonate with so much of what is written here. How might I receive permission to reprint this letter?

In reply to Michael Fox. Your comment represents so many alumni and my own Transforming Community experience. It continues to be the most defining aspect of my adult life answering the most burning question I had but could not articulate in 2011 as a lay leader: "What does spiritual leadership look like?". I am fairly confident that my faith would have been shipwrecked by now if I had not experienced a community where we together were practicing ways to be present to Christ's transforming power that have been passed down through the ages. All these years later Jesus continues to meet me on the journey, even when I feels like an orphan in my own church.

In reply to Andy Lancaster. Thanks Andy. Fritz wrote this originally in 2013. He was generous to give us permission to repost. I don't believe he has written more, but it does represent how so many people feel and why we need spiritual leaders and not just leadership in our churches.

Transforming Community is one of the great experiences of my life. I continue to read for new participants, and I envy the discoveries that they are now making. The learning, the community, the genuine warmth throughout the seasons. But only God knew at the time of my engagement that the experience was more than mere intellectual stimulation and sentiment for the day; it was preparing the soul of my leadership, as Ruth describes it, for difficult days yet future and to make the delightful days with God even more robust. I give God great gratitude for Ruth and my other lovely soulmates and their dedication on my behalf.
