Spiritual Direction
A Space to Listen. A Space to Be Heard.
Spiritual direction is an ancient practice for anyone who senses there is more — more depth, more presence, more of God — and simply wants help paying attention.
What is spiritual direction?
Spiritual direction is a companioned conversation between a trained spiritual director and a person seeking to grow in their awareness of God. It is not counseling, life coaching, and or a Bible study — though it honors all of these. It is something older and quieter: a space where you are invited to slow down, look back over your life, and ask Where have I sensed God at work? What is stirring in me? What might God be saying?
In each session, the director listens alongside you — and alongside the Holy Spirit. Her role is not to give advice or offer answers, but to ask gentle questions that help you hear more clearly what God may already be speaking to your heart.
Many people find that spiritual direction becomes one of the most formative practices of their Christian life.
Is Spiritual Direction in the Bible?
While the term “spiritual direction” doesn’t appear in Scripture, the practice is woven throughout it. Moses had Jethro. Joshua had Moses. Ruth had Naomi. Paul accompanied Timothy. The early church was built on the kind of intentional, soul-attentive relationships that spiritual direction continues today.
The Desert Fathers and Mothers of the early church developed this practice as a way of discerning the movements of God and the soul — a tradition that has been renewed across every century of Christian life, and that many evangelical believers are discovering anew.
Who Is Spiritual Direction For?
Spiritual direction is for anyone who longs to grow in their relationship with God and wants a thoughtful companion for the journey. You might find it especially meaningful if you:
- Feel dry or distant in your prayer life and aren’t sure why
- Are navigating a season of transition, grief, or decision
- Sense that God may be inviting you into something new
- Want to go deeper but don’t know where to start
- Are a pastor, leader, or caregiver who rarely has space to tend your own soul
You don’t need to have it all together. You don’t need a rich contemplative vocabulary. You only need a willingness to show up and a desire to listen.
What to Expect
Each session is typically fifty-five minutes and held monthly, though the rhythm can be shaped to your needs. We will begin with a few moments of quiet — an invitation to let go of the pace of your day and open yourself to God’s presence. From there, the conversation follows where the Spirit leads.
There is no agenda to complete, no curriculum to follow. This time belongs to you and to God.
Sessions are available by Zoom and Facetime.
Begin the Conversation
If you’re wondering whether spiritual direction might be right for you, the first step is simply a conversation. An initial meeting — unhurried and without obligation — gives us a chance to explore your questions, share a little of your story, and discern together whether this is a good fit.
