About Me

I graduated in May 2018 with a Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from Talbot Seminary, La Mirada, California. I’m currently working as a staff spiritual director at Biola University. It is my joy to companion alongside people on their spiritual journey, helping them become attuned to their life with God and the special love He has for them. Nothing means more to me than seeing people discover their identity in Christ and live out their primary vocation of communion with God as His beloved. I consider it a privilege to help others name and navigate their experience, together attending and responding to the presence, work and invitations of God in all areas of their life. It is important to me that direction is a safe resting place, a sacred space where people feel known, seen, heard, blessed and transformed by our Loving Lord in their deep. May the face of our Lord Jesus shine upon you and bring you joy and peace.

About Me

I have been a Christ-follower for much of my life; making a formal commitment to Him when I was seventeen. In recent years I have begun exploring the contemplative side of Christianity, and I find it very fulfilling. It is this exploration that led me into spiritual direction. I love having the opportunity to walk with fellow Christians and see them growing closer to Jesus. In addition, I have been interpreting in American Sign Language for the past 17 years, and am fluent in ASL, so I am offering my services as a spiritual director to ASL users as well.

About Me

I felt the call to complete the training for Spiritual Direction in 2015 when I was stepping out of social work and wanted to pursue a vocation in which my faith and a personal understanding of the God who comes close would be front and center. I’ve seen the restorative work of the Lord in my own life and have found freedom and abundant life through the work of the Holy Spirit, particularly through my own experience in direction. I believe that He wants to meet us in whatever way we need him and do more than we can “ask or imagine”.

The Ignatian Spiritual Exercises were a gift to me as I was processing my personal experience with spiritual abuse. As I sat with the Lord daily, He showed me that He wants to be my Shepherd and Guide. Through my practice as a director, I’ve seen Him make himself readily available to others as they pursue that same intimate relationship with the Trinity. In our current cultural moment, the revelation of the Holy Spirit and discernment is vital to walking a life of faith. This is why I pursued and completed the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises Accompaniment training. Ignatian spirituality offers timeless rules for discernment and the Exercises are transformational in pursuing a life of service with Christ. I have borne witness to the freedom that comes through spiritual direction and completing the Exercises and it is a privilege to join with the Lord through this restorative work.

After practicing spiritual direction for 7 years, and noticing a desire to go deeper in this practice, I returned to Sustainable Faith to be trained as a supervisor. I believe that we have a responsibility as well as the privilege of addressing areas of unfreedom in our own lives as directors for the benefit of the "absent other", our directees. This is why I have participated in two different forms of supervision (peer and individual) throughout my practice and encourage others to do the same.

My desire as a supervisor is to accompany spiritual directors in their practice and co-discern the movements of God within them as they sit with their directees. God's invitation towards greater freedom often presents itself within our vocation as spiritual directors and if we move toward this freedom, our directees benefit from the ripple effects.

About Me

It is a joy to give the gift of spiritual direction on this journey of life. I am an ordained pastor with the Evangelical Covenant Church and received a Master of Divinity through Phoenix Seminary and training in Spiritual Direction from North Park Seminary in Chicago. I have had the privilege of serving for many years as a pastor in the local church with a focus in spiritual formation, care and healing ministries. I have a passion to walk alongside others in their journey towards understanding God’s desire to know and love them, how they can respond to that love and how He is present and working in their daily lives. I understand the gift of Spiritual Direction is the gift of “holy listening.” It is a gift given by someone who is willing to hear how it really is with us, who believes and trusts that God is directing us from within our lives, and who reflects God’s own listening, loving presence with each of us.

About Me

David is a certified Spiritual Director, called to help people know and experience the love of the Father and discern his presence in their lives. We often hide ourselves from ourselves and from God. Uncovering who we are in Christ, who we are created to be, is freeing and empowering and opens the way to the Father's heart. David has taken that journey and is honored to be able to help others find their way.

David is a graduate of Sustainable Faith's School of Direction, and an Elder at Wonderful Mercy Church where he is part of the preaching rotation. He is a retired technology development and leadership coach. He writes on spiritual formation at www.frompopsworkshop.com.

David offers direction in person in Chandler, Arizona and remotely via video conference. You are invited to contact him with any questions you may have about spiritual direction or his background.

About Me

I love to walk with people in their journey of faith. I completed my MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care at Talbot School of Theology. I offer spiritual direction in person on Biola University campus. I have ministry experience working with youth, worship leaders, college students, young adults, and married couples. I have a special heart for supporting pastors, church leaders and youth. I love walking with people seeking a deeper relationship with God. I long to provide a safe space for those seeking God for healing and recovery from their wounds, those who want to see themselves in God's truth and love, and those who want to become more mature on their journey of faith. In this safe space, the spiritual director is the Holy Spirit and I help people discern where God is and how God works in their lives. My practice includes individual and group direction, teaching Spiritual Formation for youth groups.
Since I am an immigrant from Korea, I have a particular understanding of cross-cultural ministry. I speak Korean and English fluently.

About Me

As a spiritual director, I offer a safe sanctuary for those seeking rest for their weary soul. Whether we meet in person or online, my goal is to create a place of hospitality and welcome for you to bring your true authentic self. My practice welcomes ALL who seek to tend to their inner life. I have a great sense of compassion for those who find themselves deconstructing from their beliefs…as I too have been in this wilderness. Together, we will notice God’s presence and activity within your every day lived experience as we sit within the wonder and mystery…noticing God's movement. This work can be challenging at times, but also rewarding and healing. As we form an alliance and gain trust, my hope is that your inner life will open even more to experience God/Creator/The Divine’s great love. I look forward to speaking with you to explore your options and to consider if I am a good fit to walk along side you in your spiritual journey!

About Me

I have lived in & around Atlanta almost my whole life. I am married to my cherished wife Wendy, and we have a precious teenage daughter. My hobbies include reading & watching movies, but my real joy is found in just spending time with my family.

I was a bi-vocational pastor for 25 years. I was ordained in the Christian Church, but served in pastoral positions in Christian, United Methodist, Baptist, and non-denominational churches. My secular job is as an electrical engineering manager, and I also teach Spiritual Direction at North Park Seminary in Chicago. I offer spiritual direction & supervision to both sisters and brothers in Christ and anyone else who desires to grow closer to God.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Tech, a Master's degree in Theological Studies from Emory University, & a Doctor of Ministry in Spiritual Formation degree from Ashland Theological Seminary, in addition to being a graduate of the Renovaré Institute for Christian Spiritual Formation. I received my training as a spiritual director and supervisor at North Park Theological Seminary.

Beginning in 2014, I had the privilege of jointly creating, then co-directing with Dr. Sharon Rowland, the Graduate Certificate Program in Spiritual Direction at Richmont Graduate University in Atlanta. In addition to offering spiritual direction, I currently teach spiritual direction at North Park Theological Seminary. I am the author of "The Way We See: Kingdom Paradigms and Christian Formation," which teaches a unique, biblically-based spiritual practice termed Kingdom Paradigms that aids not only in deepening one’s intimacy with God but also invites Christ-followers to actually live in the present goodness of God’s Kingdom more fully and consistently. I also created a personal assessment tool for spiritual formation.

It is my call and my joy to be a “friend of the Bridegroom.” It is my privilege to walk alongside others and assist them as they discern God’s voice and go ever deeper in their intimacy with God through Jesus Christ.

About Me

I have a passion to journey with leaders who long to be who God has made them to be and to do what God has created them to do. That passion flows from my own experience as a leader and from over 25 years of experience working with leaders in Africa.

In direction, I offer myself as a non-anxious presence who helps leaders pay attention to the presence, the work and the word of Christ in their life. As we journey, I offer a safe space where they can explore God’s invitations and grow in awareness. As a fellow journeyer, I help leaders find grace and courage through Jesus, to respond well.

I currently serve as the Director of Community Life and Formation at East Mountain Capetown, South Africa. I hold a BS in Industrial Engineering, an M.Div in Christian Education, an M.A. in Spiritual Formation and a certificate in Spiritual Direction.

About Me

Becoming a spiritual director seemed to be the natural next step for me in my own spiritual journey, but also the next step in serving others. I had been in some form of educational vocation and leadership for years in elementary school, middle school, homeschool, women’s Bible studies, and small group studies. During those years I took training in lay counseling and mentored both students and adults. I was not in a denomination that emphasized spiritual direction, but after studying the early church fathers, desert spirituality, and some of the Christian Mystics I became curious.

In 2010 I took myself on a silent retreat. While planning for that retreat I felt the need for direction, wisdom from someone who had walked this path before. I was hard pressed to find someone who had any experience with a silent retreat. The Lord truly met me during that four day retreat. Part of the way He met me was through the couple who directed the little retreat center I found in central Indiana. I did not know it at the time, but they acted as spiritual directors for me. They listened intently to me, asked questions, listened to God on my behalf, and spoke love and compassion. It was a truly amazing experience and not like anything I had ever experienced before.

That retreat was the beginning of my journey toward discerning my calling and becoming a spiritual director. The experiences of the nearness of presence of God, someone else to listen to God with me and for me, and words of love and understanding touched me deeply. I wanted to help others find this place of deep connection with God and exploration of their place in God as the beloved.

In 2016 I was accepted into the Spiritual Direction Internship at Benedict Inn and Retreat Center in Beech Grove, Indiana. I graduated in 2018 and have been practicing spiritual direction out of my home since then.

I qualified as a SoulCollage® Facilitator in 2019 out of a desire to bring the creative arts into my practice. I have continued my education as a spiritual director through retreats and seminars at Benedict Inn and through Spiritual Directors International. I have designed and directed retreats on Thomas Merton, SoulCollage®, as well as for not for profit groups. I do group spiritual direction through a narrative group and lead a group in contemplative living centered on the writings of Thomas Merton. In April 2022 I completed 30 hours of training on companioning the bereaved taught by Dr. Alan D. Wolfelt PH. D., founder of the Center for Loss and Life Transition.

About Me

I consider it a high calling and an honor to journey with people on a one-on-one basis as well as in group spiritual direction. I have also done directed retreats and soul care events and retreats and have a particular heart for ministry leaders and their soul care. I love to share life stories and spiritual pilgrimages with others, helping them see God within their personal journey. My husband and I moved from Houston to San Antonio to help start a plant church where I am on staff in a Soul Care position and Elder.

I have a particular heart for church leaders, pastors, spouses of pastors, the rawness and honesty of the recovery community, and have experience in the unusual area of pet loss and bereavement. I owned a dog obedience school and have trained/shown for many years. Unfortunately, I have a history of a lot of loss and grief within that realm. God seems to place me in the lives of others as they walk through pet related hard decisions, emotions, grief, etc. regarding an area of life that we often somehow think should be minimized.

I enjoy long hikes, long, deep talks, playing in the dirt, good cups of coffee, dogs my wonderful husband and my grandchildren.

About Me

"There is only one problem on which all my existence, my peace, and my happiness depend; to discover myself in discovering God. If I find Him, I will find myself, and if I find my true self I will find Him. ~Thomas Merton

This quote summarizes the core of my calling and ministry. I find it a privilege to journey alongside individuals as they learn and deepen their awareness of themselves and of God. It has been in my own experience of spiritual direction that I've experienced this transformation of life most deeply.

I was trained through the Selah spiritual direction certificate program through Leadership Transformations, Inc. I am also a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have extensive experience in both mental health practice (having been practicing since 2009 and supervising other counselors since 2010) and in spiritual direction practice (having been offering spiritual direction since 2009). Due to my mental health practice experience, I specialize in providing spiritual direction to women who are recovering from traumatic events.

About Me

Curate your Heart. Experience God's fullness. Be Transformed.

My driving passion is to see people grow deeper in Christ. I am captivated by the reality that there is more of Christ and His love than we have experienced.

I grew up in Colorado Springs, enjoying the beautiful Rocky Mountains. After studying finance at the University of Colorado, I helped churches, non-profit organizations and individuals with stewarding their finances.

Shortly after graduating from college, I discerned a call to full-time pastoral work and enrolled at Fuller Theological Seminary. While working on my Masters in Theology, I was introduced to the ministry of spiritual direction, and realized I had been serving as a spiritual director to others long before I formally knew what spiritual direction was. A few of my seminary professors were also trained in the ministry of spiritual direction, which offered a unique integration between theology and what it means to follow Christ in the day-to-day.

Upon graduating, my wife I moved to Auburn, CA to serve as the community life pastor in a local church. Shortly after moving to Auburn, I attended Sustainable Faith and completed my training in 2018. In addition to serving at the church, I enjoy offering spiritual direction, leading retreats and spiritual formation groups. I recently transitioned off of staff and am pursuing ordination in the Anglican Church and moved back to Colorado and I am pursuing my D.Min in Spiritual Formation at Denver Seminary. I meet with directees in person in Colorado Springs and online anywhere in the world.

I have a heart for pastors, missionaries, ministry leaders and anybody who heart a desire to grow deeper in Christ.

In 2020 I completed my training to become a supervisor. I greatly enjoy the privilege of walking alongside peers in this ministry, where we get the opportunity to attend to our own souls for the sake of those we care for and to grow in our skills to do so. If you are interested in spiritual direction, supervision, retreats or just want to connect, please reach out!

About Me

While on staff with Young Life, I had the gift of meeting with a spiritual director, which was especially helpful in a difficult season of ministry in my early 20s. Meeting her led to attending seminary at Fuller's regional campus in Colorado, which is where I met my husband, Bryan. My exposure to and passion for spiritual formation grew in my time at Fuller, with several professors who were also trained in spiritual direction. I felt the nudge and invitation from the Holy Spirit to pursue training in spiritual direction myself, longing to offer the same gifts I had been given to others as they need a safe space to prayerfully articulate the joys, sorrows, questions, doubts, and abundant grace of life in Christ.

After graduating, my husband and I relocated to California, where we both attended the two-year School of Spiritual Direction (SOSD) under Sustainable Faith. I completed Sustainable Faith's SOSD program in 2018, and I recently completed their supervision training as well. I'm the co-director of CURATE Ministries, alongside my husband Bryan, which is a soul care and spiritual formation ministry, dedicated to coming alongside others as they pursue new heights and depths in their spiritual lives.

God has used spiritual direction in such profound, unexpected ways in my own life--I can honestly say it's been a life-changing experience! I find the greatest joy in offering spiritual direction, and I come alive at the chance to walk alongside others in their relationships with God. I consider it holy ground. My heart as a spiritual director is simply to prayerfully listen to you as you share from your own prayer life and journey with Jesus, staying attuned to the Holy Spirit's voice, movements and graces in your life.

I am a mom to two beautiful girls, Evangeline and Lyla. Bryan and I also relocated to Colorado Springs and are enjoying being back in the Rocky Mountains.

Please send me an email if you're interested in spiritual direction, supervision, or if you have any questions. I am able to see people in person in the Colorado Springs area, as well as over Zoom, Facetime, etc. I look forward to connecting with you!

About Me

"This is what my soul has been aching and longing for." Those were my thoughts after attending my first spiritual formation retreat in 2009. I've pressed in deeply on the spiritual journey ever since. I began serving in ministry right out of college in 1990 and I have many years of experience in different capacities of church ministry. However, there was a new awakening in my personal communication with our Triune God through spiritual formation practices of Lectio Divina, Visio Divina and Ignatian Prayer. I wanted to invite others into experiencing this kind of transformational intimate relationship with our Triune God too. With encouragement from my Spiritual Director, in 2018 I completed a two-year training as a Spiritual Director through SDI (Spiritual Direction Institute) and received training as a Chaplain through UCI (United Chaplains International).

Since 2016, I have been actively involved in JourneyMates, a Christian soul care and spiritual formation ministry, serving as a small group facilitator in group spiritual direction. I consider spiritual direction a humbling honor, as it provides a sacred space to prayerfully listen to one’s deepest concerns, longings, and desires for spiritual growth. My passion for the Word of God and unwavering love for our Triune God fuel my steadfast desire to encourage others to live in the fullness of who God created them to be, as Beloved sons and daughters of the King.
