About Me

Because Jesus promised to never leave or forsake us, it follows that He has been present in every moment of our lives. In the beautiful moments and the ones that have left scars, He has been there. I have been privileged to journey with individuals who desire to experience God's presence in their lives, even in the quiet, empty, and/or seemingly detached seasons. My training at the Institute for Spiritual Formation at the Talbot School of Theology grounded my understanding and practice of spiritual direction. I continue to be in awe of how God can use our life stories, our curiosity, our emotions, and our willingness to take Him at His word to bring light into our darkness.

About Me

What an honor, a sacred place, the ministry of Spiritual Direction. It is a privilege to come alongside the true Spiritual Director, the Holy Spirit.

I first discovered Spiritual Direction as part of my own spiritual formation. I completed a 5 year journey into my own spiritual formation beginning with a 9 month experience in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. This followed by a two-year Spiritual Formation program through the ministry of The Transforming Center and Ruth Haley Barton and most recently completing a two-year training program through the Sustainable Faith, School of Spiritual Direction.

My vocation had long been in a role of directing Global Outreach in a local congregation. As a part of this role, I met with many persons; missionaries, pastors, volunteers and church members. What I noticed over and over were so many persons longing to know and to be known by God in a deeper way. I stepped away from my Global Outreach position in order to shift my focus to the work of Spiritual Direction.

I desire to listen to others, while holding this sacred space, helping others to notice God’s presence in their soul journey. God is faithful, and always present to meet the directee wherever that might be.

In addition to offering Spiritual Direction, I am blessed to spend time with my husband of 41 years, our 3 children, their spouses and 7 grandchildren.

About Me

Have you ever notice how easy it is to put off doing things that would help you in the long run? This morning I finally got myself out the door for a walk. Obviously it is good for my physical health to walk, but it is also helpful for me spiritually. On a walk I have quiet space to hear from God. I need that in the midst of life, but I am quick to let little things get in the way of this priority.

I have found that there is much less effort involved in welcoming God when I have someone who is on that journey with me. Comfort and strength flowed into my life as I spent time in spiritual direction. Out of that came a passion to create safe spaces for other to experience growth and wellbeing in the presence of God.

My years as a mother, youth pastor’s wife and prayer ministry leader all prepared me for my training in spiritual direction. I completed a program at Evangelical Seminary. I also bring my interest and skills in art, creativity, and imagination into my direction.

As you read this, my prayer for you is that the Lord will give you wisdom and courage to take the next steps toward receiving spiritual direction.

About Me

Dan’s journey to becoming a spiritual director was through the unlikely door of civil engineering, the profession in which he had worked in for over 20 years. Following a season of serving as a missionary engineer in Uganda, Dan came to a greater awareness of his longing to accompany others on their journey to a greater attentiveness to the movements of God and a deepening intimacy with Him.
Currently on staff with Engineering Ministries International, Dan is involved with staff formation and member care through leading retreats, workshops and small group processes. Also a part time staff member with his local church, Dan leads a ministry of companionship that includes hosting soul care retreats and formational processes for individuals and small groups. He has completed two years of training with the Sustainable Faith Schools of Spiritual Direction (Denver cohort).
Dan, and his wife, Kim, reside in Colorado Springs and have three children. When he’s not spending time with family or enjoying a cup of coffee and a good book Dan enjoys hiking the many mountainous and forested trails throughout Colorado. He is available to meet in person in Colorado Springs or remotely via Zoom, Skype or FaceTime.

About Me

Hi, I am Anja and I'm very happily married with 3 grown up kids. I have lived in the UK for 10 years now, but was born in Germany and trained there as a nurse. Life and work has been very international for the past 28 years. My husband, a Canadian and I brought up our family in Arabia where we lived for a decade. Here, in Birmingham we partner with local churches for ministry placements and training.
A few years ago I went through a very difficult time in my faith as well as in relationships. Experiencing God in this time created in me a capacity for mystery.
I trained with Deepen in Spiritual Direction and practice it on several continents within my own Organisation as well as outside of it. I also meet face to face with local Christians and Seekers.
I love to be present to and create a safe space for my Directees to notice Gods whispers of love to them in the good, the bad and the ugly of life.

About Me

My deep hope and prayer is that I offer a safe place for God to speak to those drained dry by life, ministry, parenting or burdened by pressures of all kinds that drown out the voice of God.....or maybe just people who feel it's hard to find God right now. Spiritual practices can feel dry or desire for God is lacking. This ministry constantly humbles me, mostly because God always shows up (in spite of my own frailty), and it feels like a huge honor to be trusted by others to walk alongside them on their spiritual journey.

After graduating from Talbot, I've worked in a variety of capacities in churches and conference centers, teaching and mentoring people of all ages and stages. But eventually, and without my knowing, all the busy doing drained my soul. I felt stuck in a spiritually dry place with God. That began my own long journey away from guilt and shame and towards a new way of approaching my own quiet rhythms with a loving Father. Later I spent two years training with Christian Formation and Direction Ministries. I have completed additional training to lead people (individuals or small groups) through the 19th annotation of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises or the retreat in daily life. I am a student of the wisdom of the Enneagram, especially as it applies to spiritual transformation. My ministry also involves the supervision and training of spiritual directors.

Spending free time with my dear husband, adult kids and my grandkids is extremely life-giving for me. Career-wise, I've worked part-time with families in independent study for 15 years. I'm also a lover of books and the beach (usually together) and a reluctant gym-rat. I am ever-blessed to have a small group of friends who put up my passion and fascination with the formation and care of the human soul as we travel this gift we call life.

About Me

I believe that Spiritual Direction is for people of any age. It involves listening, encouraging and supporting someone on their spiritual journey. I also believe that Spiritual Direction provides a life changing opportunity to draw closer to Jesus. This happened in my life. I’m confident that it can happen in yours.
I completed the Sustainable Faith Spiritual Direction program in May 2019. I graduated from Trinity International University with a MA in Counseling Ministries. I have a BS in Nursing from Ohio State University.
It would be my privilege to walk with you on your spiritual journey.

About Me

The art of holy listening. I have received this. I am seeking to offer this as I companion others. The past eight years have been preparing my steps. Marriage, family, home education, international living and local church ministries are the experiences that have shaped the spiritual direction ministry in my life.

I received my direction training through the Selah Certificate Program in Spiritual Direction, Leadership Transformations, Inc. in June 2016. I have been sitting in spiritual direction since 2008. My husband, Sam, and I have been married for 28 breath-taking years. We have two married sons and two unmarried adult children.

About Me

My purpose - Brother with Men to Burn for Jesus Christ. Became a Christian in my teen years, 9 years US Air Force pilot, lived overseas 14 years, husband of one awesome wife, father to 4 terrific kids, a life coach since 2009, mostly with men. Small group and one to one discipleship for 35 years. In 2014 started Spiritual Direction training with Selah - Leadership Transformations.

The distinction of Spiritual Direction is "walking with" a brother towards Christ. I quit telling men what to do, and started listening with them to what God is saying to them.

Good experience with integrating the inner spiritual life with the outside behaviors, rock solid Jesus style marriages, helping men step away from pornography.

About Me

I long for a vibrant and intimate relationship with God and have been profoundly touched by the relationships I’ve encountered along the way in my own spiritual journey. The art of listening and compassionate care; to walk alongside of another in life’s journey, is a unique experience, one that can be so life-giving. It’s my pleasure to companion souls as a spiritual director, as a spiritual friend.

I am a creative. I paint, design, craft, write, imagine, curate sacred experiences and enjoy the varied expressions of the human soul through the arts, literature, nature and "work" in the world. I've taken to heart the Apostle Paul's desire to "labor until Christ be formed in you" and find in it a way to describe my vocation in life. I've spent almost 10 years pastoring in at a local church and was enriched by shaping and curating a communal sacred experience for many in the congregation.

My education/training includes: MDIV (pastoral ministries), a MA (Spiritual Formation/Soul Care) both graduate degrees are from Talbot School of Theology. I've also received training in Ignatian spiritual exercises and retreat, Contemplative Spiritual Practices and the Enneagram, and training in vocation-formation facilitation of seminary small groups at Fuller Seminary. I have a rich and varied experience of serving God and his people through cross-cultural and local missional work, teaching in churches and universities, facilitating group and individual spiritual direction and retreats, and participation in community outreach.

I have acquired some unique training with elder/end of life, chronic illness and dementia care by way of my own life circumstances. I've had the privilege of walking my own family through trying seasons to assist our elder family members in their passing with dignity.

Whatever the life season, I welcome companionship - those that walk with me or the invitation to walk with others. As one of my mentors says: Soul work - transformative life in God - is the solitary work that can not be done alone.

About Me

I have a heart for the TCKs/MKs, since I too have lived as a missionary kid overseas during my formative years. Spiritual direction is an added tool, to my first career path as a nurse. Love entering spaces of pause with people in the totality of who they are: mind, body, and spirit. Helping people lean into present day God's work that He is doing in their lives.

About Me

A core value that I hold as a spiritual director is the cultivation of hospitable space. Henri Nouwen's definition of hospitality has shaped me in profound ways. Nouwen says, "Hospitality means primarily the creation of free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend . . . Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place.” It is my honor and joy to prayerfully hold safe space where growing self-awareness and self-discovery lead to finding the sacredness of one's own life story within God's Divine Story. EE Cummings said, “We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch.” As a spiritual director, my desire is to listen deeply, so the directee can experience the sacredness of her being and her story. Within the freedom of this safe space, together we listen to the Spirit and discern the presence and action of God in one's life.

I have served for over 25 years as staff in a Protestant missionary order as a trainer in spiritual formation and as mentor and coach. I was born in South Korea and immigrated to the US as a child. I have always been drawn to sit with others and listen deeply to their sacred stories. As I deepen my own journey into contemplative spirituality, I am drawn to the sacredness of each individual human being as created in God's image and to the sacredness of each person's unfolding life journey.

I have training in both one-on-one and group spiritual direction through Center Quest School of Spiritual Direction. I love both modalities and find group spiritual direction a powerful and counter-cultural mode of experiencing community in the body of Christ.

About Me

It is an honor and blessing to be a spiritual companion to all who are journeying through their walk of faith in Christ. I believe that every moment and incident in life is not just a coincidence, but an opportunity to turn to God and discover His will and leading. Spiritual Direction is a safe space to discern together the personal work that God is doing in your daily life.

From my own experience as a caregiver and healthcare worker, I have found a special heart to serve those who provide care and might be facing burnout. I also enjoy walking alongside youth, college students, and young adults as they discover their personhood and God-given callings. But, I am open to meeting with anyone!

I received my MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from Talbot School of Theology and work as a staff spiritual director with Biola University. Beyond individual spiritual direction, I have trained in leading group direction and in planning retreats for individuals and groups. Spiritual Direction has, personally for me, been transformative in my own identity, grief, relationships, and walk with God and I hope to provide the same for others. For any who are looking to try out spiritual direction with me, please feel free to reach out!

About Me

I am a certified Spiritual Director through Sustainable Faith and Larry Crabb's School of Spiritual Direction. I have been a pastor's wife since 1997 so that means I have served in many areas of ministry but been a master of none. However, in 2012, when I lost my beloved younger brother in a tragic accident, I entered a dark night of the soul in deep grief and found my way out through the ministry of spiritual direction. Through my own journey, God called and trained me to be a spiritual director. I am still no master in anything but I realized that we are all called to follow "The Master" and listening for His voice in our lives can be the greatest purpose and joy in life no matter what we are going through.

I am also a mother of 4 wonderful sons, an admin for a non-profit that helps abused children, and an enneagram 5w4 who loves to read, write poetry, care for my many plant babies, take walks, and just enjoy the gift of friendship in its many forms --coffee, movies, texts, eating, hiking, serving together. So I understand the plight of being a modern woman trying to integrate and balance it all and hope to provide a gentle space for you to deepen an awareness of God in your life.

**********************************

PREPARING FOR SPIRITUAL DIRECTION

Spiritual Direction, like all spiritual practices are a means to an end; the end being a deeper and more intimate relationship with Jesus. It is a humble posture that imitates the triune community of our God, confessing that we need one another. We were not meant to walk alone but in loving fellowship with brothers and sisters, friends and guides, fellow pilgrims, who can listen, light a candle in the darkness, hold up a mirror, wash our feet, or just be with us in the midst of our joy or sorrow. It is an intention to enlarge our life of faith so that the river of life within may flow out onto others.

The habit of seeking spiritual direction can help us in attending to and cultivating that level of life within as Thomas R. Kelly points out in his book, A Testament of Devotion:

There is a way of ordering our mental life on more than one level at once. On one level we may be thinking, discussing, seeing, calculating, meeting all the demands of external affairs. But deep within, behind the scenes, at a profounder level, we may also be in prayer and adoration, song and worship and a gentle receptiveness to divine breathings.

In doing so, may we live the life Jesus has invited us to live, a life more abundant as His dearly beloved.

Some questions to ponder and stir your heart before meeting for direction.
• I am experiencing God in these ways ...
• I have been thinking deeply about ...
• I have been feeling ...
• I long for ...

About Me

It's been my privilege to serve in ministry with my husband, Tom, for nearly 40 years. After serving cross-culturally in SE Asia for 9 years, subsequent ministry has centered primarily on extending missionary care to those serving in a variety of contexts around the world.

My vision and love for ministry only deepened and expanded through my MA degree in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care, which I earned at Talbot School of Theology in 2014. After decades of ministry, I learned an entirely different way of sitting with others, and I'm grateful that there is now much much more of Jesus and much less of Sue in my ministry conversations.

I have a particularly tender spot in my heart for those who have served or are serving as missionaries, for those who have grown up in a culture other than their home culture, for those who are actively serving in ministry, and for those who are walking through grief and loss.

About Me

I count it a privilege to be invited to companion with people as they seek to journey deeper into the transforming love of Jesus. The Prophet Jeremiah, in the midst of a spiritually dry time, reminded God’s people, “’Long ago the Lord said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love, I have drawn you to myself.” (Jeremiah 31:3, NLT) As we travel through all phases and seasons of life, the joyful and the difficult, Jesus is continually inviting us to respond to Him and live more fully in His love for us. This does not always mean the love Jesus is extending to us is obvious at first or easy to embrace. Yet, what I love about the ministry of Spiritual Direction is the chance to assist and support others as they seek to know and encounter Jesus is a personal and formative way. I desire to be a presence and listening ear that opens the door for others to meet with and hear from the Holy Spirit, who is the true Spiritual Director of our lives. God is the guide, the grace, and the goal of our journey; our role is to attentively recognize and respond to His movements in our lives.
I have the joy of being with Jesus and people in many facets of life. I am husband to a wonderful wife, a dad to two young boys, an ordained pastor in The International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, as a Spiritual Director, and as the Care Pastor at Faith Fellowship Church in Uxbridge, MA where I facilitate the pastoral care ministries of the church and oversee the church’s small groups. My training includes a B.A. in Biblical Studies from Zion Bible College, a Masters of Divinity from Ashland Theological Seminary with a concentration in Spiritual Formation, and the completion of a two-year training cohort in Spiritual Direction through The PAX Center of Spiritual Formation.

About Me

One of my greatest joys as a certified spiritual director is coming alongside my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to consider the Father's unique love and care in their spiritual journeys. I view spiritual direction as a safe and confidential space for you to freely and honestly explore your relationship with God through prayer, discernment, empathy, forgiveness, and compassion.

I graduated with an MA in Theology and a Certificate in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from Talbot School of Theology in La Mirada, California. I am married to my beautiful wife, Mallory. I provide spiritual direction in Mesa, Arizona, and also via tele-direction nationally/internationally over Zoom. I feel humbled and blessed that God is using my gifts and training as a spiritual director.

My spiritual direction fee is on a sliding scale based on your comfortability because I never want finances to be a burden for you or your family. I offer a fee discount for students, pastors and their families, missionaries, active military, veterans, and their families.

May God bless you richly in Jesus Christ our Lord!
