343: [Formed.] Lee Cummings on Self-Care vs. Self-Obsession, Spiritual Slow-Drift, and The Disciplined Pursuit of More

[Formed.] is back, and this week, we’re joined by my friend Lee Cummings, who’s here to talk about self-care versus self-obsession, how spiritual slow-drift happens, and the disciplined pursuit of more. After the overwhelmingly positive response to [Formed.] in January and February, with tens of thousands of you tuning in, I realized that this is a specific focus I want to delve deeper into on the podcast. Joining us this time will be not only Lee Cummings and also my friends Ian Simkins and Addison Bevere.

GUEST BIO:

Lee Cummings is the founding and senior leader of Radiant Church, a multi-site church reaching the globe via Radiant Church locations and online. In addition to his role at Radiant, he mentors many next-generation leaders and church planters. This role led to the launch of the Radiant Network, in which he serves as the founder and overseer.  Lee and his wife, Jane, started Radiant Church in 1996 in a high school auditorium in Richland, Michigan, a rural community in the outskirts of Kalamazoo. Since then, Radiant Church has grown to reach thousands of people in several locations with the same mission: to lead people to become radiant disciples of Jesus Christ. Lee has authored books on Christian formation, spiritual growth, and the Spirit-empowered life.
