Pocta contends that spiritual communities are often ill-equipped to nurture the spiritual life of disoriented or questioning Christians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy acknowledging their own spiritual journey and drawing lessons from healthy wilderness postures, church communities are better positioned to transform and mature their community while creating a nurturing environment for individual sojourners. In doing so, Pocta addresses one of the most prevalent challenges in contemporary Christianity: navigating the relationship between the individual and their faith community, particularly when the Christian enters spiritually challenging times (periods of aridity, misunderstanding, suffering, or darkness).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933935943916,"sku":"9781666944020","price":133.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781666944020-cries-from-the-wilderness.jpg?v=1783885888","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/cries-from-the-wilderness-by-david-pocta-9781666944020","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
