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 is to create a safe space for men and women to experience a deep, abiding, transformational intimacy with God.

I have been serving in roles of shepherding, mentoring, intercessory prayer and spiritual direction for over thirty years. It was through my own journey with a spiritual director that I experienced God’s invitation to walk alongside others in the same way. I earned a Master of Arts in Theological Studies with a focus in Marriage and Family Therapy from Bethel Seminary in Saint Paul, MN. And I completed my certification for spiritual direction at Christos Center for Spiritual Formation in Lino Lakes, MN.

I have experience in many forms of contemplative prayer, including Lectio Divina and the Ignatius Exercises. As a spiritual director, guide, and 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. It is truly holy ground.

My wife Becki and I have three adult children and four amazing grandchildren, who are an endless source of entertainment.

About Me

My heart is to create space for people to encounter God in fresh ways, enabling them to grow and flourish in their walk with Christ. I treasure time listening for the voice of the Holy Spirit as I sit with my directees. Having personally gained from spiritual direction, I value the opportunity to be a soul-mate on another's spiritual journey.

After having lived in Japan for 30 years as a missionary, I am now based in the U.S. Besides teaching ESL and Japanese classes, I currently serve as Chaplain of the Webber Institute for Worship Studies (IWS), a low-residency school based in FL; Spiritual Care Coordinator for Accessible Hope International based in TN and Sierra Leone, West Africa; and a Global Trainer in Spiritual Formation and Worship Renewal through Faith and Learning Int'l. I have a doctorate in worship studies from IWS and advanced certificates in Spiritual Formation and Spiritual Direction from Moody Bible Institute. I have led and spoken at retreats in various countries and contexts.

I am on the Vestry (leadership board) of my church, The Table Anglican, in Indianapolis. I am currently in the ordination process and thankful for God's leading in that direction. My daughter and granddaughter live with me, giving me joy-filled days. I love swimming, music, and time in nature, especially near the ocean. Of course, I love sushi and all things Japanese!

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

I have been trained in Spiritual Direction through Healing Care Ministries which has an emphasis on inner healing as instructed by Dr. Terry Wardle. I have been walking with the Lord for 30 years and experienced deep inner healing the past 10 years. I believe Dr. Wardle's training gave language to my experiences. The Word has come alive and through receiving spiritual direction and now being trained in spiritual direction my walk with the Lord is enriched, alive and life giving. I feel called and now equipped to help others better understand their spiritual journey.

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.

About Me

I received my training as a spiritual director at Talbot's Institute for Spiritual Formation. Currently, I am a staff director at the Institute for Spiritual Formation and also do spiritual direction in a neighborhood church in central Los Angeles/Hollywood.
I am a long-time Jesus follower, college faculty member, Presbyterian USA church member, wife, and mother of four teen and young adult children. As a director, I have walked with believers experiencing various spiritual concerns and life situations. My passion is to point every person to the spiritual, to help them to see more clearly the work of God and the Spirit in their daily lives, to experience it more deeply and constantly, and to know God and self in all things.
My passion for spiritual direction grew out of decades of caring for students and faculty in a university setting. At mid-career, I realized that spiritual direction was the missing component in my desire to love and care for the whole person. Since then, I have been listening with others for the still small voice of God.
I love books, ideas, languages, culture, and travel. I have had extensive cross-cultural experience and am fluent in German and Russian.

About Me

With a grateful heart I listen with God as lives are shared. It takes courage and vulnerability to process experiences with the Holy Spirit, and I consider it a privilege to participate in this holy listening practice.

God’s invitation to spiritual direction came late in my life. Thank goodness I said ""yes."" With a MA in teaching and a BA in sociology, I thought my education was complete. Through spiritual direction, God began cultivating a deeper experience of His grace. Absorbing His forgiveness, grace and love I accepted God’s call to become a spiritual director.

I completed the three-year program offered by HeartPaths Spirituality Center, which includes a nine-month experience in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius.

I have been married since 1979 and have two adult children. Experiences that nurture my soul include rich conversation, writing, walking and spending time in God’s gardens.

About Me

I have served as an ordained pastor in the Christian Church for 25 years, mostly in Arizona and Colorado. Beginning in 2010, I started to develop a heart for Spiritual Direction, Formation, and Soul Care through a strong connection with a ministry in Colorado called The Potter's Inn. The ministry of The Potter's Inn was so deeply significant and impactful in my own soul that I discerned God's calling to help others experience God's presence and leading through formational one-on-one ministry. Since that time I have earned a Master's of Arts in Spiritual Formation and Leadership from Spring Arbor University (Spring Arbor, MI). I am a graduate of the School of Spiritual Direction through Sustainable Faith and offer Spiritual Direction via Skype as well as in person. In addition to providing soul care ministry through retreats and Spiritual Direction, I am the Chief Program Officer for KidZ at Heart International.

About Me

I received my Spiritual Direction training at Biola University where I graduated with my M.A. in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care in May 2009. During that time I participated in the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises Program (Nineteenth annotation) at the Loyola Institute for Spirituality in Orange, California.
Meeting with my own spiritual director has continued to be a valuable place where am encouraged draw closer to the Lord. In that space I experience another pair of eyes to see and ears to hear what the Lord might be doing in ways I would not have otherwise noticed. I feel called to, in turn, provide that kind of space for others where they can experience a deeper awareness of God’s presence and how He is uniquely working in their lives. My training has increased my ability to discern the Holy Spirit’s leading and how He may be drawing a person into a more intimate relationship with God. My direction experiences over the past 10 years has been with people from ages 15 to 60, who are sensing their relationship with the Lord is not where they wish it were and are seeking wisdom and discernment.
In my spare time I love running, biking, golfing, and hiking, all the while looking for God’s presence. I seek Him in creation, and in solitude but also in retreat (both guided and unguided).

About Me

It is a privilege to sit in a direction room with others, discovering with them what God is speaking and discerning together how they are responding to His voice. My greatest passion is seeing people discover the easy yoke and the abundant life that is available through Christ.

I received my training in Spiritual Direction as well as an MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from Talbot School of Theology. I also have a MA in Organizational Leadership.

I served for 21 years as a Pastor at a large church in Long Beach, CA. This experience gives me a unique vantage point in listening to pastors. Currently, I’m an Adjunct Faculty member at Biola University and a Staff Spiritual Director at the Institute for Spiritual Formation.

I have been married to my beautiful wife for 30 years. We have two children, one who recently graduated with his MA and one who is a senior in college.

I am available for individual direction, group direction, and retreats. I am equally comfortable working with men or women (a byproduct of growing up surrounded by aunts, grandmas, my mother and all girl cousins).
