Over the past 12 months or so I've become increasingly Christocentric in my understanding of the world, Bible, life, marriage, etc. This was started by reading Owen Volume 1 (Declaration of the Glorious Mystery of the Person of Christ and Meditations), put into fuller expression through a lesson I taught at my old church, and then exploded through my studying of John and the nature of Christian philosophy. Simply put, I've begun to see how all things were made "through and for" Christ.
Over the past 6 months I've become a mild theonomist.
Over the last month or two, I've increasingly been focusing on my heart being affected by these glorious truths in the Scriptures. I've particularly started focusing on understanding the nature of the union between Christ and this church and seeing it's centrality in Scripture's teaching. For example, while I've held Particular Redemption for a while, I've recently (as in the last week) been so deeply affected by the glory of this truth! My heart soars in worship to God when I study and learn this doctrine more fully. So, I imagine all this could be said that my theology has become increasingly more experiential (or experimental, as Owen and Edwards impress).
