Abstract

Although connotations of wilderness elicit a sense of difficulty, harshness, and challenge, there is biblical, historical, and experiential support for the formative dimension of wilderness experiences. The author addresses how ministry leaders pursue spiritual formation when living in the context of wilderness experiences. The research follows a qualitative method of the semi-structured interview and is focused on women in leadership. The author learned that the quality of redemption in a wilderness time is enhanced by releasing expectations, choosing wisely in the midst of loss, noticing when God shows up, and embracing the opportunity for transformation.
