pietistic
Pietistic refers to emphasizing heartfelt devotion, personal life transformation, and simple, humble practices in the religious or spiritual context. This term is often associated with the Pietism movement within Lutheranism in the 17th and 18th centuries, which called for a more personal and experiential faith as opposed to formalistic religion. However, it can also be applied more broadly to describe any approach to spirituality that emphasizes personal holiness and emotional engagement.
