Gathering the Seekers: A Strategy for Vitality

Spiritual Autobiography

[Method One]  >   [Method Two]

Writing your spiritual autobiography is one of the best ways I know to help you grow spiritually. It requires you to think reflectively about your life and purpose, and encourages sensitivity to the working of God in your earthly journey.

NET Group participants write this autobiography during the two-week break between the opening event and the first session. This is not turned into the leader, but is solely for the benefit of group members. When the group gathers for their first meeting they want to be able to share insights gained from this writing. It is a way for the group to begin to make connections with one another and a good way to start the process of building trust.

Two possible outlines for writing a spiritual autobiography follow; participants may develop their own.
