SPIRITUAL GROWTH MINISTRIES BLOG
Spiritual Growth Ministries seek to shine a light on contemplative spirituality, spiritual formation and spiritual direction in Aotearoa, New Zealand. We publish interviews on the SGM Blog to share the experiences and perspectives of spiritual directors and people seeking to live from a contemplative posture in the midst of their vocations and everyday lives. We hope these reflections inspire and refresh you on your journey.
