About Me

I find great joy in walking with others who seek to notice and respond to the call of Jesus toward life and wholeness. We experience joys and sorrows, growth and diminishment, light and darkness… and the Three-in-One God calls us, woos us, and teaches us through all of these. I am a teacher and an encourager; I’m passionate about loving relationship with God, vulnerability and service with other followers of Christ, and winsome engagement with those who do not yet know the One who draws them. Also, I have walked through deep valleys (loved ones suffering mental and physical illness and cognitive decline; a difficult marriage; the deaths of dear friends and family members), so can empathize with others who suffer, being with them in the light of grace and truth until we emerge offering wisdom and compassion for others.

I’ve offered spiritual direction since 1998, and have been supervising directors since 2009. I love meeting new people for prayer and discernment about working together. I earned a master’s degree in theology from Evangelical Seminary and a Ph.D. in Christian spirituality from The Catholic University of America. As one of the professors at Evangelical Seminary, I teach in the Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation and Direction, and also teach/supervise beginning spiritual directors through the Kairos School of Spiritual Formation. I’ve served in staff and pastoral positions in independent churches and Mennonite churches, and spent years as a piano teacher and worship leader. I offer retreats and workshops on prayer and other spiritual practices, trauma and healing, stress and resilience, and other topics. I practice direction in Lititz and Myerstown, PA, as well as via phone, Zoom, and other platforms.

About Me

Receiving spiritual direction has been a gift in my life and it is an honor to offer spiritual direction. My prayer is that spiritual direction is a safe and welcoming place to pause and notice the truth of what you are feeling and experiencing in life, as well as a place to ponder and enjoy the Holy Spirit’s work and presence. It would be a privilege to journey with you and bear witness to the invitations and ways God is revealing His love and care for you.

I graduated from the Institute for Spiritual Formation at Talbot Theological Seminary with a M.A. in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care in May 2017. Through the program, I was trained as a spiritual director.

About Me

God uses individual and group spiritual direction to open hearts to the work of the Holy Spirit within and around us. It is a sacred honor to listen with others to our Heavenly Father’s invitations in grief, joy and the everyday as we journey in Christ.

I have an MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from Talbot School of Theology where I was trained as a Spiritual Director. I also have training in Spiritual Direction with Children. I regularly participate in receiving spiritual direction as it has become a valuable rhythm in my own life.

I was a missionary kid and have spent a decade of my adult life overseas in missions. I am now back in the classroom teaching at an Elementary Christian School where I enjoy joining God's work in the lives of children, their parents, and our staff. During the academic school year my availability for monthly meetings is primarily on Sunday afternoons.

About Me

When I think about the life-changing, soul-transforming gift of spiritual direction, I feel an upsurge of joy and gratefulness. All praise to God for inviting and enabling us to join Him in loving and serving His people and the world in this way!

After decades of working full-time as a mother to four daughters (and now four sons-in-law and seven grandchildren!) and working part-time as a physician, I am an unlikely spiritual director. Used to diagnosing problems and dispensing "cures," I have had to learn to allow God to be the One who does both the diagnosing and dispensing. Yet, these past professions also prepared me to do this work of spiritual direction by providing much practice in listening carefully, loving tenderly, waiting patiently, and trusting the one true Healer to bring wholeness.

Since completing Kairos School of Spiritual Formation's two-year spiritual direction training program in 2013 and Evangelical Theological Seminary's MAR in Spiritual Formation in 2014, I have enjoyed watching God open doors for ministry. In addition to private spiritual direction practice, I lead spiritual direction groups in my role as licensed Congregational Spiritual Director at our church. I am also available to lead weekend and all-day prayer retreats centered on Scripture, using traditional Christian contemplative practices. Retreat themes include The Spirituality of Aging, The Lord's Prayer, Reflections of God in Water, Living In-Between, The Fire of God, and Christian Spiritual Practices.

Though not taking new directees currently, I occasionally make two exceptions--missionaries and those interested in the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. Having served overseas in Zambia and Honduras, my heart goes out to missionaries. In addition, God changed my life through encountering Christ anew in the Spiritual Exercises, so I am trained to give them to others.

About Me

Spiritual Direction became an integral and joyful part of my life and walk with Christ as a missionary overseas. My first Spiritual Director was a missionary herself and accompanied me on my spiritual journey. She walked with me, listened, prayed and helped me notice what God was doing and hear what God was saying to my heart. She helped me better understand my responses to the Lord and my deepening, transforming relationship with Him.

Now, as a Spiritual Director myself, it brings me great joy to walk alongside others even as my Director overseas accompanied me. I have a heart to serve the missionary community especially, of course, as that is my calling. My husband and I are currently engaged in Missionary Soul Care with our agency and I desire to include others in my ministry, as well. At the heart of Spiritual Direction for me is prayerful holy listening. It is a time to help discern the Lord’s presence and heart for another. It is a small discerning group of three: The Lord, the Spiritual Director and you … the Lord residing at the heart! In Christian Spiritual Direction, my call and desire is to come alongside another in a confidential, Christ-centered, and Biblical manner to help another woman grow in intimacy with Christ and live more fully, more joyfully, more aware and more lovingly in relationship with God.

On a personal level, my husband and I have been married for over 40 years, we have two married sons, three grandchildren, and 4 “grandpuppies”. We have served in full-time Christian ministry since 1976 (3 years) in the high school ministry of Cru, 18 years in the youth pastorate, 18 years as overseas missionaries and most recently in missionary care for our mission agency. I have served as a French teacher in the US and in Africa, an elementary principal at an International Christian school overseas, a Language and Culture Coach in Western Europe and now serve in member care, as well as being a trained Spiritual Director.

About Me

We are all on a journey. We are all a part of an unfolding story. We are all caught up in the drama called life. Yet, becoming Christ-conscious, experiencing Trinitarian communion, and finding our way home in union with God is a constant, daily challenge. For the Christian journeying in and through this world, having inner spiritual battles are normal and understandable. Yet, when significant and major distractions and disruptions occur, a crisis of faith can quickly evolve and a host of questions arise. This is especially true when one is just beginning, overwhelmed by fear, detoured by sufferings, become entrapped in illusions, or weakened by various difficulties. Thus, the ministry of Spiritual Direction that I have come to be about is one of listening intently for and discerning of what the Holy Spirit is revealing regarding a present block, pitfall, resistance, or an unresolved issue that is hindering one from moving into God's Realm of Heaven in the here and now. This takes place in the context of a covenanted companionship where the directee comes to experience one's soul and spirit and how to embody the wisdom that is being made known as the way to bear one's cross and follow Christ. Letting go of what is past and letting be what is frees one to be present and get in touch with the core of one's being -- the "image of God" for the glory of God. This process is healing and restorative of the whole person into a deeper life of holiness through a variety of spiritual practices. Then one can more faithfully be about the redemption and salvation, peace and justice of Christ, participating in the life and coming of God's Realm of Heaven in a Spirit-filled way.

About Me

I currently serve as a missionary in Germany and across Europe. I live in gratitude for the gift of my wife, Lisa, and our two children, Megan and Michael. I serve on Greater Europe Mission's Senior Leadership as the Leader for Spiritual Formation.

I sensed an invitation to the ministry of Spiritual Direction many years ago and enjoy serving others with this gift. While I prefer offering spiritual direction in person, I have experience in this ministry over Skype as well.

I hold a ThM from Dallas Theological Seminary and a DMin in Spiritual Formation for Ministry Leaders from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. I received my training in Spiritual Direction through Leadership Transformations’ Selah Certificate Program.

About Me

Our Father softens and transforms us as we learn to attend to what He is doing. The work He does in each session – so perfectly attuned to the uniqueness of each directee – consistently amazes me. Spiritual direction facilitates a responsive relationship with God. A Regent College class in Vancouver, Canada, ignited my interest in learning more about it, which led to my graduation from Selah School of Spiritual Direction, (Leadership Transformations.inc) in 2014. Skype sessions being so effective, has been a real surprise to me. Besides sometimes needing to negotiate time zone issues, it has allowed for very rewarding long distance appointments, whether from Europe, Southeast Asia, Canada or other parts of the United States. I work with men and women, pastors, missionaries and people in all walks of life.

Matt, is my amazing husband of 38 years. Together we’ve raised four children and are enjoying our adult relationship with them, their spouses and two grandchildren. We have been blessed with fellowship in the same church and participation in its leadership, our entire marriage. The body of Christ is precious to us. I enjoy early-morning prayer - and almost everything else - best outside. A day that I find life-giving is one in which I’ve had a good physical workout, spent time with people I love, learned something and enjoyed Jesus!

About Me

I began full-time vocational ministry in 1979. In that time, I have served as an associate pastor in three different congregations in Texas and Arizona including eight years as a senior pastor. I completed a Masters of Ministry Certificate at St. Stephens University, St. Stephens, New Brunswick. In January of 2014, I published my first book, Darkness to Light, an account of my journey into clinical depression and my subsequent encounter with the love of God which brought a deep and lasting emotional healing. I completed my spiritual director's training through Sustainable Faith’s two year certificate program in spiritual direction. In 2019, after 40 years of vocational ministry in the local church, I began teaching full-time for Sustainable Faith's spiritual direction program. I am deeply blessed to be involved with the training of spiritual directors across the United States and Canada.

About Me

As a farmer's daughter, I have always loved experiencing the cycle of planting, growth, pruning and harvest, and then starting the next season. Whether this is in my garden or in the practice of spiritual direction, I have been blessed to see God's faithfulness through all seasons. My own spiritual journey with its twists and turns includes the seasons of doubt, struggle, longing, and grief over loss and then those wonderful and loving seasons of joy and fulfillment. In all these seasons of life, God has called me to help others toward spiritual freedom in Christ (2 Cor. 2:17) and to live blessedly in "joy and grief intertwined" (Isaiah 61:3).

My personal journey includes over 20 years in a corporate business career as well as an unexpected transition to ministry in my local church and a global ministry. I completed a MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care at the Institute of Spiritual Formation, Talbot Seminary/Biola University where I also continue to serve as a spiritual director at Biola's Center for Spiritual Renewal. I meet people for spiritual direction in the Newport Beach/Costa Mesa/Irvine area, or by phone or SKYPE.

Thank you for considering me as you seek a spiritual director. It would be my privilege to journey with you.

About Me

As a spiritual director I help people listen with the Spirit to the story of the already-present activity of God in their lives in order to cultivate a deeper connection with him and to discern his movements in their life. I am a graduate of the C. John Weborg Center for Spiritual Direction at North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago and have been directing since 2009. With over 34 years of pastoral experience, I enjoy working with pastors and other church leaders. I work with the Core Community of Imago Christi (www.imagochristi.org), which develops spiritual formation resources and coaches Christian leaders and churches. Imago Christi is a team of spiritual formation specialists within Novo (formerly CRM) (www.novo.org). And, I am a certified life coach. I graduated from Baylor University (B.A.) and Dallas Theological Seminary (Th.M.). My wife Jill and I have two adult children. I enjoy golf and hiking in the Colorado mountains.

About Me

Nothing would give me greater joy than to help you to follow Christ. My work in spiritual formation dates back to when the term itself was being introduced into the evangelical church. During the 90's I worked with seminary students at the Center for Christian Leadership at Dallas Theological Seminary. At the same time I earned a certificate of spiritual direction at Saint Thomas Theological Seminary in Denver under the tutelage of Howard Baker. I continued to practice the principles of people formation while the director of a leadership school in Albania. Perhaps it is helpful for you to know that God is helping me become more like Jesus in the crucible of a chronic and progressive neurological disease. Otherwise, I am employed full-time in various foreign projects.

I’ve had too much education: animal science at Cornell, international affairs at the Fletcher school/Tufts university, THM at DTS, and Doctor of ministry at DTS in cross cultural leadership.

About Me

My heart and passion is to create a safe space for men and women to experience a deep, abiding, transformational intimacy with God. I have been serving in various roles of shepherding, mentoring, intercessory prayer and spiritual direction for ministries, churches and individuals for over thirty years. In the last ten years I have increasingly been invited into more formal roles of intercessory prayer, spiritual direction and mentoring.

I have been blessed to have a personal spiritual director for over twenty years. It was through this journey that I experienced Abba’s invitation to walk alongside others in the same way. I earned a Master of Arts degree, with a focus in theology and counseling; and completed the course work for the Marriage and Family Therapy program at Bethel Seminary in Saint Paul, MN in 2010. And I completed my certification for spiritual direction in a two year program at Christos Center for Spiritual Formation in Minneapolis, MN in 2011.

I have experience in many forms of contemplative prayer, including Lectio Divina and the Ignatius Exercises. As a spiritual director/guide/companion it has been such a joy and honor to walk alongside others listening, noticing and witnessing the ways God is present, speaking and moving in their lives. That is truly holy ground.

About Me

Spiritual Direction. If you have said to yourself:
"I’m looking for
Someone who can listen
when I’m struggling
when I’m grieving
when I’m longing for more…
Someone who can help me
notice, hear, and
grow closer to God
in freedom, with integrity
and joy…
Someone who understands my journey
just enough to walk with me
but not get in the way of
the Mystery of God..."

If you've ever longed for "Poustinia" or A Garden Retreat:
A place of sanctuary
prayed in and stayed in
surrounded by nature
where God is near….
A place of rest
for being and breathing
and nurturing your soul
in the Way of Jesus…
A place of peace
where someone understands
just enough to stand with
but not in the way of
the Mystery of God.

Then find a warm welcome and a photo of me here: www.jeannevills.com
My own hunger and pursuit of the manifest presence of God has taken me on the inward adventure of solitude in the quiet of monastaries, and on geographical adventures as far away as Ethiopia, South Korea, and China — all of which draw me home to God in my own backyard. I am an active follower and friend of Jesus in all the roles of my life, which include but are not limited to being a wife, mother, grandmother, spiritual director, and CFO of a Professional Corporation.

A certified Spiritual Director and Supervisor with a Master of Arts degree in Christian Education, I earned my Certificate in Spiritual Formation from the Renovare Institute. I am an instructor/collaborator at Portland Seminary (George Fox Evangelical Seminary) and with Fuller Seminary's Doctor of Ministry Degree in Spiritual Direction.

About Me

I received my MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from the Institute for Spiritual Formation (ISF) at Talbot School of Theology, CA in 2007. I have since returned to Malaysia and for the last decade have been serving as the Director of the Institute for Christian Ministry (ICM) of TRAC (the English-speaking conference of the Methodist Church in Malaysia). I have also completed a 3-year training in an Ignatian spiritual companionship program with an ecumenical group. The Lord has given me countless opportunities to partner with His people in teaching, leading retreats, giving spiritual direction and developing curriculums on spiritual formation for the church as well as different groups/organizations. It has been an amazing journey of learning, re-learning and growing. I have been deeply humbled to catch glimpses of God's work of transformation in the hearts of those seeking Him.

About Me

My passion is to create safe environments and opportunities for people to experience God. My desire is for everyone to know who God created them to be and live into their truest self in Christ. As an empathetic listener and companion on the journey, my part is to help them to become aware and respond to God's invitations.

Early in my ministry career, I worked in full time ministry at a mega-church for eleven years. This experience heightened the value and necessity of spiritual direction for pastors and Christian leaders. Spiritual Direction is an important spiritual practice, as they deal with the challenges of ministry, the difficulty of finding a safe place to share and the struggle to stay connected to their own souls.

My Master's Specialization in Spiritual Transformation was accomplished through Northern Seminary in Lombard, IL in partnership with the Transforming Center®. My training in Spiritual Direction is through Sustainable Faith Indy and The Springs. I am trained through Sustainable Faith to accompany others in the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises.

As a Spiritual Director, I am available for one-on-one sessions, group spiritual direction, retreats, speaking on the spiritual life and retreat coordination. Included in my experience is training with the Enneagram - a tool for self-knowledge and spiritual transformation, life experience with Twelve Step programs and as a trained companion with the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. As a Listen to My Life Facilitator, a set of eight visual maps, my role is to help others recognize and respond to God in your story.

About Me

My hope in spiritual direction is to journey with others into deeper experiential encounters with God, that result in lives lived with greater love and freedom. It is a delight to explore and discover with others how God has been and is intimately at work in their lives. I received an M.A. Spiritual Formation & Soul Care at the Institute of Spiritual Formation at Biola University. I also received my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and am a Registered Nurse. With training in nursing, spiritual direction and psychology, I have a holistic and integrated approach in spiritual direction. I enjoy individual and group spiritual direction, as well as retreats for groups who seek a deeper experience of God and desire refreshment in their spiritual lives.
