What is Spiritual Direction?
The Christian life often entails times of spiritual uncertainty—situations in which we are unsure of God’s will, confused about what God is doing in our circumstances, or generally dry in our relationship with God.
Spiritual direction is a safe place to explore your questions and concerns about your life with God.
​
A Christian spiritual director is a trained listener who will accompany you as you share about your spiritual journey, helping you to notice God’s presence and activity along the way, as well as your personal reactions and responses. Hospitable, confidential, and grounded in biblical truth, spiritual direction is a ministry that helps you grow in prayer and live into your calling as a follower of Christ.
​​
What does it look like?
Spiritual Direction happens once a month. Sessions can be held virtually or in person. They tend to run from 45 to 60 minutes.
​
Cost is $70 a session
Why is it important or helpful?
Whether you seek a spiritual director during a specific season of your life or engage with one as part of your regular spiritual practices, spiritual direction is beneficial in many ways. It can connect you in relationship with:
-
Someone with a perspective outside of your normal circles.
-
Someone who reminds you of the basics—God’s love, care and constancy through all of life’s circumstances.
-
Someone to stay awake with you on the road when you are spiritually weary.
-
Someone who keeps the faith when yours feels weak.
-
Someone to lift you before God while you struggle with issues that aren’t solved quickly or easily.
-
Someone to celebrate God’s work of transformation with you and for you.
-
Someone who values and loves you in Christ and enjoys giving you that gift in Jesus' name.
My Approach
Dallas Willard states in his book, Renovation of the Heart, that the soul is the deepest part of the self. He describes the soul as a computer that quietly runs a business and only comes to our attention when it malfunctions. The soul is often missed. It is the deepest part of one's being that connects to all others (body and mind). So, when it malfunctions, so does the rest of one’s self.
​
Life is a lot. With work, friends, or family, life can be busy and hard to find time to care for you, but you and your soul are important.
My hope is to be able to sit with you, encourage you, and guide you to a better understanding of where you are at personally, where your soul is at, and how the Spirit wants to bring healing to it. The Lord is with you; are you ready to take the step forward in caring for yourself and seeing where the Lord is?
