About Me

Hi, my name is Jen. I am a child of God - a daughter, sister, friend, and tia - a spiritual director and retreat facilitator - a red head. I graduated from the Institute for Spiritual Formation at Talbot Theological Seminary in May 2010. During my time there I received training in spiritual direction and found it to be such a lovely way in which to journey with others. I currently offer individual and group direction for men and women on a limited basis, and also am available to speak at retreats and conferences. My interests lie in helping others to freely approach the Lord, bringing this honesty into community, and creativity and storytelling for the non-artist. I have recently completed the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage throughout Spain, and am excited to bring these experiences into direction. I am available to meet in Seattle, as well as through Skype.

I formerly worked for Saddleback Church for 3.5 years, coordinating retreats for the Rancho Capistrano property, and most recently have relocated to Seattle, Washington, where I am an associate pastor for Bethany Community Church Ballard. One day, I hope to open my own retreat house to care for pastors and church leaders. I thoroughly enjoy engaging in beauty: the company of good friends, interesting films, flavorful meals, reading a book, listening to a podcast or music, and a rich cup of coffee.

"The Risen Christ makes life a perpetual feast."

-Athanasius

About Me

What a privilege it is to enter sacred space to seek God on behalf of another soul! God has used the ministry of spiritual direction to tune my heart to His very real and loving Presence. My prayer is that those whom I companion will likewise experience God’s Presence and love, discern God’s invitations and be strengthened by the Holy Spirit to walk into their calling. I received my training in spiritual direction through Leadership Transformations' Selah Program.
“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you.” Ephesians 1:18a

About Me

Spiritual direction has been a vital part of my faith journey for well over a decade. When I yearned to cooperate more fully with the Holy Spirit’s transforming work in my life, God sent a Spiritual Director to come alongside and help me see where and how the Spirit was at work conforming me to the likeness of Christ (Romans 8:28-29). At one of our first meetings she told me that she saw herself as a doorknob polisher, polishing the doorknob to the throne room of God. Ten years later, I sensed God calling me to join her in that ministry!

I received training through a joint initiative of Asbury Theological Seminary, a local ministry, and The Center for Spiritual Formation, receiving my certificate of completion in August 2017. I have been joyfully polishing doorknobs ever since! I especially enjoy companioning with those discerning God’s calling in their lives, whether for the first time or because they sense God doing a new thing. Also, as a pastor I understand the challenges of ministry and find it a blessing to help other ministry leaders be attentive to their own spiritual journey.

I live in Lexington, KY with my husband of 40 years, and serve as Deacon and Associate Pastor at Saint Patrick’s Anglican Church. While I prefer in-person meetings, I do provide direction via Zoom. I also offer guided retreats designed to provide refreshment and renewal for those who have become weary in their spiritual journey.

If you are longing for a deeper experience of the transformative work of the Holy Spirit, I would be delighted to explore that with you!

About Me

As a spiritual director of women, I seek to find God in all things and serve as a witness to the things He is doing in the lives of my sisters in Christ. After 5 years on the mission field in Mexico City, God led me to pursue training as a spiritual director. I graduated with an MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from the Institute for Spiritual Formation, Talbot Seminary, in December 2018. After serving as a staff spiritual director with Biola University, I have now moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to work with a non-for-profit ministry dedicated to encouraging women in difficult life circumstances.

My heart’s desire is to provide spiritual direction in particular, to women who are seeking to grow in their identity in Christ and notice His movement in their life and circumstances. Since journeying with Jesus in other cultures is an integral part of who God has created me to be, I delight in giving direction to those in intercultural situations and those serving on the mission field.

About Me

I minister primarily as a staff director at Biola University's Center for Spiritual Renewal working with college aged females. I've been a student in the Institute of Spiritual Formation since 2013, working towards my degree in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care. I have recently completed my training as a spiritual director in May 2017.

My desire is to walk alongside those who want to better understand the hard places they have found themselves in life or within their walks with Jesus. I have experience working in various kinds of church ministries outside of spiritual direction including hospitality, children's ministry, high school ministry and leading adult small groups. I have come to notice that in each ministry setting I've been drawn to hearing people's stories and understanding their journeys with God through the joyful and sorrowful times. It is an honor to be with people in their places of grief, sorrow and pain just as much as it is to walk alongside those who are in a lighter time of life or celebrating what God is doing.

I am very drawn to those "cradle Christians" or long time believers who have grown up in the church and are finding themselves having questions about their belief in God, maybe for the first time. I understand this to be a challenging place and spiritual direction offers a welcoming space for questions and strong emotions towards God. I really enjoy entering into those places with others.

About Me

I am a graduate of Talbot's Institute for Spiritual Formation where I received my training as a spiritual director. I am honored to have the opportunity to be a staff director at ISF's Center for Spiritual Renewal. I truly value spiritual direction as one of the means by which we set aside sacred space to discern together what God is doing in the life of the directee.

My hope is that spiritual direction can be a place where one is able to bring their whole self: their hurt, pain, hope, joy, anger, sadness, confusion, doubts, wonder, amazement and find that they are loved exactly where they are at. I am passionate about helping people find God in all things - the mundane and the spectacular.

About Me

Friendship with Jesus is the greatest gift of my life, and walking alongside others in their spiritual journey is another of life’s great gifts, including practicing spiritual direction! Spiritual direction is a conversation between two folks, where we can seek the presence and work of God together. In direction, I seek to create a safe, sacred space to tell stories of God, His love, and life experiences.

I’ve lived in Colorado for 20 years, a great place to enjoy hiking, biking, and creation beauty! I’m married to Charlie, and we love sharing life with our adult kids and 3 grandkids. We currently worship at First Presbyterian Church Colorado Springs, where I serve in their mission ministries, and as an elder.

I received a Certificate of Spiritual Direction from the Benet Hill Monastery in 2014, and completed training from the Larry Crabb School of Spiritual Direction later that year, for a more evangelical perspective. I also grew greatly in the Renovare Institute (2010-2012). I meet for hour-long spiritual direction sessions in person and via Skype, Zoom or Facetime. Please contact me by email or phone if you would like to explore spiritual direction.

About Me

I am a lover of beauty, as experienced in the various seasons of my life as a graphic artist, watercolor artist, musician, and all-around-“creative”. I enjoy cooking (especially with others!), fine dining, hiking, adventure and travel. I’ve been involved in ministry in eastern Asia and lived in Alaska, Eastern Europe, and Scandinavia. But most importantly, I am passionate about journeying alongside others in our mutual discovery of our Belovedness in the heart of God. The first time I received spiritual direction I didn’t even know there was such a thing, and I balked at the term “direction”. But I found it, more than any other prayer ministry or counseling I’d received in the past, to be respectful of my own heart’s ability to hear God. And thus began the great adventure!

I am 65 years old, and have been married to the love of my life for 40 years. We raised our two children in Alaska, and enjoy four beautiful grand children. Now we live on the Front Range of the Rockies in Colorado Springs, where we drink in plenty of sunshine! My husband and I love to practice hospitality in our home, and so the idea that there is a spacious hospitality offered to us in the presence of God is near to my heart. As such, I see spiritual direction as a holy invitation extended by God, inviting us to a spacious time and place in our hearts and souls.

I offer retreats, which are designed to be reflective and restful, in my home or wherever I’m invited. (I especially enjoy collaborating with other spiritual directors.)

I lead creative soul care retreats, which I call “Confluence”, where participants are encouraged to experience God as they create in a playful, contemplative way.

I would consider it a sacred honor and privilege to journey along with you, wherever you are in your spiritual journey. Perhaps you have been experiencing a fresh hunger for God. Perhaps you are seeking discernment as you head into life-direction decisions, or you desire a spiritual companion to help you stay on track with God in the day-to-day stresses of life. Whatever your situation, choosing to enter into a relationship of spiritual direction can be life-giving.

I have completed a 2-year certificate program of spiritual direction through Leadership Transformations, Inc. SELAH. Completing this program has served to solidify the love I feel for this calling.

I am available to meet with you in person, or via Skype, FaceTime and Zoom.

About Me

I recently received my certification in Spiritual Formation and Spiritual Direction through a two year program with Healing Care Ministries International. It is holy privilege to create unhurried space for others to share their spiritual journeys with God and develop a close, intimate dialogue with Jesus through direct experiences. I also hold a certificate in Formational Prayer through HCMI. I have learned how to position others for healing using the structures of healing and fully relying on the ministry role of the Holy Spirit. My husband is a pastor in the United Methodist Church. I have a tender spot in my heart for other clergy spouses.

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

I’m a life-long adventurer whose passion is journeying alongside Christian leaders as they deepen their communion with God—exploring together their identity in Christ, and helping them to enjoy and live out all that God has designed and called them to be.

Having served in full-time vocational ministry since 1977, I currently live in Budapest, Hungary, serving as a Spiritual Director with Ministry Essentials, International. I sensed God calling me to the work of spiritual direction several years ago as a point in my own formational growth from the pastoral care and worship development that had previously been my ministry focus.

I received my training through Sustainable Faith’s School of Spiritual Direction. My ministry today is centered around spiritual direction, formational leader development, and pastoral care for global workers.

My greatest adventure has been marriage to Karen since 1977, and enjoying our two adult children, lovely daughter-in-law, and two awesome grandsons.

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 providing soul care for and joining God's work in the lives of children, their parents, and our faculty/staff. During the academic school year my availability for monthly meetings is primarily on Sunday afternoons.

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.

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!
