Spiritual Pathways: Relational and Intellectual Journeys
Introducing the spiritual
pathways
“Sacred pathways are like doors
that open into a room where we
can feel particularly close to God.”
Bill Hybels
1. THE RELATIONAL PATHWAY
These Christians connect with God when
they’re with others. They may be most
enriched and impassioned when they pray
or study with others, or work together in a
team.
2. THE INTELLECTUAL PATHWAY
These Christians frequently find that their
minds must be fully engaged before they can
make significant spiritual progress. They find
that their hearts will never fully engage until
their minds are filled with truth.
3. THE WORSHIP PATHWAY
These Christians feel most alive when
they’re letting go and experiencing God in
joyful celebration. They don’t want to just
know concepts, but to experience them, to
feel them and to be moved by them.
4. THE ACTIVIST PATHWAY
These Christians define worship as standing
against evil and calling sinners to
repentance. They are energised by being in a
highly challenging environment that pushes
them to the edge of their potential.
5. THE CONTEMPLATIVE PATHWAY
These Christians find God in quietness and
solitude. They have an enormous capacity
for prayer and private worship and are
especially effective at discerning the activity
of God where they are.
6. THE SERVING PATHWAY
These Christians feel closest to God when
they’re serving God’s kingdom purposes in
some capacity.
7. THE CREATION PATHWAY
These Christians experience God most
intimately when they go outdoors into the
‘cathedral of creation’. Often they draw
direct spiritual insights from nature.
