Realism about Character Transformation

– ‘Spiritual Formation’ and the ‘VIM’ Structure: Vision/Intention/Means.
Session 3 of this 4-part series is a high-level overview of how Christian character
formation works. Much of this material can be found in Dallas’s book, Renovation of the
Heart. This includes a study of how the human person is put together and a review of
the VIM strategy for growth.
