Spiritual Direction

What a session is actually like:

​

• We usually meet for 50 minutes about once a month

• You simply bring whatever feels most alive in your spiritual life—a recent experience, a difficult question, a season of transition, or a longing to know God more deeply.

• I mostly listen, not only for your words, but for the movement of the Holy Spirit within our conversation

• I may highlight what seems to be important to you or ask gentle questions to learn more

• Silence is a welcome part of many sessions. Sometimes words lead us into silence; sometimes silence gives birth to new words.

• There is no pressure to believe anything

• Doubt is welcome

​​

People often come to spiritual direction when:

• Prayer has become dry

• They long for a deeper relationship with God

• They are navigating loss or transition

• They are exploring another faith tradition

• They are discerning an important decision

• Ministry has become exhausting

• They simply want to slow down and listen

​​​

Spiritual ​direction is not:

• psychotherapy

• life coaching

• advice-giving

• teaching

• confession

 

​​​Every spiritual journey is unique, and every person is precious in God's sight. Spiritual direction is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and become more attentive to God's presence in your life. It is a shared journey of noticing where the Spirit is already at work and responding with greater freedom, compassion, and trust.

People often tell me that our conversations help them slow down, notice God's presence in everyday life, and approach life's questions with greater peace and clarity.
