In this Formation Conversation, Steve shares how God has been shaping him through seasons of transition, quiet practices, and a deeper awareness of God’s presence in his everyday life.
Steve opens up about how God used trials such as job loss, uncertainty, and caring for loved ones to form him into someone who trusts more fully and fears less often. Through simple rhythms like morning Scripture, intentional quiet, listening, and unhurried presence, God has softened his pace and strengthened his confidence in Him. These daily rhythms have helped Steve learn how to hear God’s voice more clearly.
He also tells the incredible story of God’s healing in his family. This moment reshaped his understanding of God’s nearness and power. Today, Steve is learning what it means to show up for people with no agenda. He seeks to be present, compassionate, and curious. His journey reminds us that God forms us slowly and consistently. Often this happens through ordinary moments we are tempted to rush past.
Steve continues to lean into community, Scripture, and the daily practice of being with Jesus. His story invites all of us, no matter our age or season of life, to slow down, listen, and trust that God is forming us even when we do not see it yet.
This story is part of White Oak’s Formation Journey. We are learning to Be With Jesus, Become Like Him, and Do What He Did for the sake of others.
