About Me

The invitation to go deeper with God came through my dog, Ollie. When my youngest children got on the bus for Kindergarten, I would take long walks with Ollie, my first dog ever. God began to warm my dog-fearing heart toward this much-bigger-than-I-had-wanted dog. As we walked, God began to unpack a painful childhood moment that had caused me to fear dogs and was hiding a deeper fear of abandonment. As he removed the fear of dogs, other childhood wounds began to surface and the Lord began to heal me in unexpected ways. I began to experience a hunger for a more intimate connection with the God who knows and heals us. But I wasn’t sure how to find this.

Growing up in church, I developed a love for God and a desire to serve him as a child. I pursued higher education at Taylor University and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School which would prepare me for ministry and church service. After finishing seminary, I spent several years on staff with a campus ministry. And then when my husband and I had our 4 children, I stayed home to care for them. During that time, I volunteered actively in children’s ministry and women’s ministry, teaching, leading Bible studies and speaking for events and retreats. I loved studying the Bible and helping others to grow in their understanding of God and His word. But after many busy years of serving, I reached a place where I was becoming burned out on doing for the Lord and hungering to be closer to the Lord. I have always been interested in Spiritual Formation but I was finding that my usual ways for spiritual growth through ministry and service weren’t working for me.

One day while driving to visit my dad, with whom I helped with caregiving, I heard an invitation through a radio program to pursue a Certificate in Spiritual Formation at Moody Bible Institute. That invitation came at a time of exhaustion from parenting, caring for my dad and serving in the church. It tugged at the desire that had been surfacing in me during those walks with my dog to experience more freedom and joy in my relationship with God. So, I took the invitation and enrolled! During the Moody Spiritual Formation program, I was first introduced to the ministry of Spiritual Direction. I was amazed at the ministry of listening deeply to one another together with the Holy Spirit. I continued on into the Spiritual Direction program at Moody, desiring to create space for others to experience more freedom, healing and joy in their relationship with God. Recently, I have been training in the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises and am excited to be able to lead others through this faith-deepening school of prayer. I love to journey with other seekers in pursuing a deeper connection with God in the midst of life.

About Me

"Where is God when life hurts?" is a question that drove me into spiritual direction in 2003. My 19-year experience with my own director helped answer that question. I learned to know God in broader and deeper ways. I experienced God as an embracing and loving being rather than judge. I grew into an inner spaciousness that has allowed me to more clearly recognize the presence of the Divine in my life, and I have developed a joy in more closely observing how God really does work in mysterious and unanticipated ways. It has been a long journey that led me to training as a spiritual director (Kairos, Lancaster PA) so that I could be a companion to others on a quest for something more in the spiritual life.

My professional background includes graduate degrees in Family Studies, Counseling, and Behavioral Health Nursing and certificates in rational emotive therapy, health care ethics, and trauma-informed therapy. I had a private practice in therapy, although I no longer practice as a therapist. I taught psychiatric nursing for 30 years and bioethics and leadership for 10 years. After a life-shifting event around 2000-2004, I have focused on deepening faith in my Sustainer and Comforter. I have worked with diverse groups of people through 30 years of working in denominations (in the US and the UK) of several different persuasions, as well as in therapy. I believe that God calls us first to a position of love and grace. From that space of love and grace we can listen together, reflect, and discern the presence of the Holy One for greater healing and peace.

About Me

I have recently retired from parish ministry after serving with four different congregations (two church plants and two established faith communities) for nearly forty years. I received my training in spiritual direction from Selah (Leadership Transformations).

My approach to spiritual direction is biblical in foundation, contemplative in style, and Trinitarian in theology. Nothing gives me greater joy than walking with others in living into the relationship into which we have been invited by the Trinity and experiencing the ""aha"" moments in that relationship.

As a spiritual director I view my role as a ""co-discerner"" with brothers and sisters in Christ as we listen carefully together to discover the Lord's will and grow more and more into Christlikeness. What a humbling privilege and honor!

About Me

In 2018, I began seeing a Spiritual Director myself and soon realized how important it was for me to have a sacred place to grow into a deeper relationship with God as I navigated the changing landscape of being a pastor, experiencing life moments of joy, transitions, and concerns. It’s easy to be so focused on life and its complications, but with spiritual direction I was able to unravel the complexity and see clearly that God’s presence and energy were guiding me in reframing how I looked at life.

My role as your spiritual director is to invite you into a contemplative listening space, offering you the same opportunity I had to grow into a deeper relationship with God. As we invite the presence of the Holy Spirit, you’re able to lift up your questions, struggles, and joys, and to see what insights or scripture He has for you to ponder within your heart and mind.

I am an ordained ELCA pastor, serving in Fargo, ND. In 2019, I received a Level 1 Coach in Congregational Vitality Coaching Certificate through CoachNet/International Coach Federation and the ELCA. In 2021, I become a Certified Spiritual Director through Christos.

I offer individual and group spiritual direction, as well as retreats on a variety of topics, including using photography as a spiritual practice, creativity, and faith, and learning to create space for spiritual growth.

I am willing to do in-person or long distance by online application.

About Me

I deeply value creating space for myself and others to notice what God is doing in our lives. Meaningful conversation over a cup of something is a highlight of my day. As a spiritual director my current focus is on individual and small group direction and other spiritually formational opportunities.
From 1993-2013, I served on the leadership team for the National Network of Youth Ministries, particularly in the spiritual formation of Christian leaders. I served as Vanguard University’s Co-Campus Pastor (2003-2006), trained for two years in spiritual direction with Christian Formation & Direction Ministries (2007-2008), and now focus on journeying with others as we grow in a loving, attentive, relationship with God, ourselves and others.
My involvement in both church and para-church ministry has encompassed most of my adult life. I'm forever grateful for the few treasured friends who provide a place of realness for me...realness about my own joys AND struggles. Because of these few, I love creating safe space for others to honestly voice their own challenges, questions and joys in their everyday life and ministries.
Married to Mike for 49 years and living in Costa Mesa, CA, I enjoy hiking, bicycling, reading, gardening, time with friends, cooking, trying new restaurants, and especially our frequent, noisy, messy, usually delightful dinner at our home with kids and grandkids!

About Me

I consider it a privilege when someone shares part of their journey with me in the spiritual direction relationship. I know that God is present with each person that I meet with, and I love creating space for Him to continue to reveal His heart to him or her.

I've been trained through the Institute for Spiritual Formation at Talbot School of Theology and graduated with my M.A. in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care in May 2013. I have also served as a pastor at an evangelical church, and I lead trips to Israel with Azusa Pacific University. I am currently in doctoral program to become a psychotherapist.

I am available for individual and group direction, as well as facilitating retreats.

About Me

I came to spiritual direction after a career in mental health counseling. After working as a licensed clinical counselor for 18 years I wanted to be able to offer more. I believe the Spirit led me to return to graduate school to complete a certificate in spiritual direction.

About Me

My goal as a spiritual director is to direct your attention to the things of the Spirit. Maybe you’re in recovery from trauma or addiction and wrestling with a Higher Power who does not feel safe. Maybe you’re in the throes of deconstructing harmful messages you received from the church in years past. Maybe you’re after God’s heart, and you need just enough quiet to be still and listen.

Wherever you are, it would be an honor to join you. I’ve been trained both formally and in the fires of my own pain to recognize the Spirit’s movement in our daily experience. I would love to walk alongside you and help direct your attention, like a tour guide on a long hike directs your attention to things that are beautiful and noteworthy. In spiritual direction we seek to experience Immanuel, God with us, in the wilderness. The hope is that the reality of that communion will train our eyes to see God’s hand in all areas of our journey.

About Me

Even in faith communities, people rarely talk openly about their struggles in the faith. As much as we tout prayer, my hunch is that most of us don’t—at least not as often and as deeply and as satisfyingly as Scripture promises possible. I like the idea of talking and praying and encouraging one another on the path.
I pursued the study of spiritual direction because I wanted to learn and grow in my own faith. I wanted to learn more about prayer and about how others throughout Christian history have experienced faith and prayer. I am still learning.
I can think of nothing more important than having the privilege of praying for and encouraging others in similar pursuit. My own spiritual director continues to tremendously bless my life and faith; it is my privilege to offer this gift to others.
I received my certification in spiritual direction in 2017 from Christos Center and my certification in spiritual formation in 2023 from Ruth Haley Barton's Transforming Center.

About Me

As a native of Colorado, I love to ski and hike and do most everything the Rocky Mountains provide.

My understanding of God began as a college student, where I learned about prayer, bible study, and knowing God desires a close friendship with everyone, everywhere.

God reoriented my life so much during this time that after graduation and marrying my husband, Dave, we joined the staff of a worldwide interdenominational Christian ministry. The majority of the past 37 years found us working with college students, but recently working with professors.

I understand the complexities of being married to a ministry leader while juggling the demands of children and ministry as I served alongside my husband and raised our three children. Now we are experiencing the joys of an empty nest and relating to our adult children and grandchild.

After a “dark night of the soul” season, I attended Ruth Haley Barton’s Transforming Center and received a Certificate in Spiritual Transformation. More than a certificate though, I learned new ways to open my heart to the work of God's Spirit and receiving the dark night as God tenderly leading me to deeper places with Him. My spiritual director was instrumental in helping me process this change.

My training in spiritual direction took place through Listening People to Life in Sioux Falls, SD. At the same time I attended Sioux Falls Seminary and earned a Master of Bible & Theology with and emphasis in Intercultural Studies.

My ministry experience includes evangelism and discipleship, teaching both small and large groups, and coaching international missionaries. I've led others in leadership development and understanding in emotional health. I enjoy leading spiritual and prayer retreats.

I understand a spiritual director to be a fellow companion, whose role is not to direct, but walk alongside through prayer, listening, questions, and spiritual practices.

As you find yourself longing for more, seeking God in the desert places, processing life changes and transitions, discerning next steps, or simply wanting to be more attuned to the voice of God, I offer you a sacred companion along your journey of life.

About Me

I am a minister and spiritual director in the Pacific Northwest seeking to serve and support people in the way of Jesus.

I care deeply for people who are looking for spiritual support within and beyond the church in pursuit of growth, healing, and connection. I have walked with men and women; young and old; church leaders, church members, and those who don’t go to church.

I trained in spiritual direction at Portland Seminary, received a Master of Divinity from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, studied biblical text at Abilene Christian University, and currently serve as minister at the Federal Way Church of Christ.

I am also a certified ©iEnneagram Motions of the Soul practitioner, trained in utilizing the Enneagram as a tool for transformation, discernment, and spiritual growth. If you are interested, I would be glad to utilize the Enneagram in our sessions.

My desire as a spiritual director is to journey with you in reflecting deeply on your life, becoming more aware of God’s presence in the midst of it, and encouraging you to live from that place.

About Me

Journeying with others is a joy, I have been offering Spiritual Direction since 2004. I graduated with an MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care in 2005. Walking with another as we listen for the Holy Spirit's leading is something I feel called too. I often journey with those struggling with sexual brokenness due to my own story and the other trainings in trauma I have been through. It is not easy un-raveling the way we interact with God and how that has been shaped by our own experiences in relationship. It's a humble gift to walk with another as they seek to have a deeper relationship with God.

I have also had training in trauma and traumatic experiences and how trauma may impact the body and brain and also significantly impact an individual's spiritual life. I believe spiritual direction is a sacred space that provides a ministry of presence and feel the most joy when I am companioning someone as they seek to deepen their relationship with God.

About Me

Stories matter to me, so let me take a bit of mine. I am a follower of Jesus, Father, and leader being transformed by the love of Jesus and transforming into the man He would have me become.

In 2019, my life was radically changed when my wife of 15 years was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer and passed seven months later. Suddenly, I found myself a widower and single parent trying to walk with Jesus through the valley of grief, loss, and identity. Along the way, I’ve developed some deep passions to support the spiritual health of Christian leaders, help men grow to encounter the love and grace of Jesus, and help others navigate seasons of transition and grief.

I also have the awesome privilege of serving as a Spiritual Director and writer reflecting on the journey of discipleship and transformation in Christ. For the last 20 years, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside people and encouraging them in this journey of faith. I’ve served as a youth, discipleship, and lead pastor in a variety of settings and contexts. In 2022, I completed training in Spiritual Direction with Paseo Communities and am excited to continue deepening in this work.

I’d love to encourage you are wherever you are on the journey of following Jesus. Reach out to start the conversation at the email below.

About Me

My journey of walking alongside others began more than thirty years ago within a church sponsored Al-Anon recovery program. This is the place where I caught a vision for how a grace-filled safe space can be fertile ground for the Lord to transform. I find such deep joy in seeing heart mended, images of God transformed, and lives redeemed.

Discovering that the ministry of Spiritual Direction and the potential it has to bring this same kind of grace filled safe space to the church, I chose to become trained and in 2018 completed the Selah Spiritual Direction Training program through Leadership Transformation Inc.

I've been married since 1981, am an adoptive mom, have grown children, am a blessed Grammy to Lily, enjoy my two beloved Havanese pups named Chloe & Cocoa, and am a transplant to the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas from So California.

About Me

Hi, I’m Michael Duffin, my wife Carolann and I live in Plano Texas just north of Dallas, I have 4 grown boys. I am a graduate of the 2-year Selah certification training program in spiritual direction. I love the outdoors and the beauty of that which was created by our Lord. My calling for years has mostly been Outreach and Disciplining Men and Encouraging them in their relationship with the Lord, mostly through a ministry called CBMC, in addition I am involved with Grafted Life Ministries as a Life with God Small Group Leader and a Board Member. I’m the Founder of the Frisco Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast that takes place every year on the 2nd Wednesday of October.

In addition, to the outdoors, I love sports and spending time with God, family, and friends. I much favor - sitting in that quiet space where I can listen to another Christian and to God as we discern together what God is doing and how he is doing it. That space is Spiritual Direction.

My paying job - I’m an HVAC Contractor and a VP of a small commercial A/C and controls company in North Texas and have been in this trade all of my adult life.
