Spiritual Direction

We don’t always feel safe enough with other people, to be honest about what is in our hearts. Spiritual Direction is, in its essence, the expression of unconditional hospitality and welcoming. It is a safe place where you set the agenda and the pace. In the process of paying attention, Holy Spirit surprises you with liberating truth about you and God.

Direction opens you up to deeper intimacy with Creator and helps you to live your life and calling, confidently and powerfully, as a Jesus follower. The Director is grounded in Biblical truth and a trained listener, who helps you pay attention to God’s presence and activity, in the moments of your day. As we tune into the God who is tuned into us, we begin to experience freedom in areas that once held us captive, peace where there was anxiety, joy instead of resignation and love instead of condemnation. The posture of the Director is one of generous hospitality, attentive listening, prayerful discernment, and encouragement.
