About Me

I am honored to walk with individuals as they seek to draw closer to God, experience inner healing, and learn to know themselves more deeply. I love to help people awaken to their deepest desires and longings, and I find great joy in helping people discover their personal pathway to spiritual formation. Having served in pastoral ministry alongside my husband for 40 years, I am also a trained Spiritual Director, receiving certification from Sustainable Faith's School of Spiritual Direction. I am available for Spiritual Direction, Spiritual Formation Coaching, Accompaniment in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Speaking, and Retreats. In addition, I am a Certified Teacher of the Narrative Enneagram, offering Typing Interview, Enneagram-based Spiritual Direction/Coaching, Enneagram Training and Retreats.

About Me

My experience as a listener began in my relationships with family, friends and God. I was gifted additional grace as a listener when my husband and I were invited on a church planting adventure in 1984. My listening skills continued to develop as a youth leader, women's ministry leader, Sunday School teacher and in pastoral ministry roles. Completing my certification as a spiritual director in 2017 was a gift of grace as I experienced God honing my skills and calling me to offer presence to people as they wrestle with life's questions and God's relationship to them. It is a privilege to listen with unconditional positive regard and love to each one sitting in the chair across from me. In March of 2024 I completed my training to offer the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises, a retreat in daily life. It is a privilege to companion exercitants as they make the Exercises, a life-changing school of prayer, healing and discernment.

I have deep respect for each individual and their sacred journey. I have a holy curiosity about the work that Beloved Trinity is up to in each person I meet with. I believe each person is an expert on their own experience and it humbles me to be a part of God's gentle process of formation in their lives. The joy is my front row seat to the miracle of transformation in each one.
I am honored to be called Grammy to Mandy and Nathan, Mom to Jeremy, Mechelle and Maria and "Honey" to my husband of almost 42 years.

Before I was I spiritual director, I was an RN in community services. I like to think that I went from healthcare to soul care!
I welcome any directee who has a desire to explore relationship with the Beloved Trinity, contend with their relationship with Trinity and/or experience a safe place to voice the hard questions that rise when life isn't going as imagined or hoped.

It would be my privilege to meet with you if you sense an invitation in your heart to reach out to me.

About Me

Getting to come alongside women on their journey with Jesus is one of the most life-giving things I get to do. What a joy to get to see women become more rooted and grounded in Jesus’ love, become increasingly aware of His presence and untangled from the various things that keep us from being who we were meant to be! It would be my honor to walk with you a while.

I received my Spiritual Direction training with Sustainable Faith’s School of Spiritual Direction and have been giving direction since 2014. I am originally from California, but have Dutch roots and have been living and ministering in the Netherlands for the past 15+ years. I love doing life with my husband and young son.

About Me

I am a life-long follower of Jesus who embraced Christian contemplative spirituality and spiritual direction later in my life. As a graduate of Christos, it is a privilege to companion others by holding their story gently and prayerfully, encouraging them to listen for what God might be saying through life's everyday experiences. Often the questions we bring point toward a longing for a deeper spiritual journey, and spiritual direction can provide an opportunity to carefully tend to those longings and discern God's movement in our lives.

As Senior Director of Christos Center for Spiritual Formation, I hear stories everyday of the life-changing experience that spiritual direction often brings to others, and each story deepens my sense of call to be available to journey with those who seek it.

I offer one hour spiritual direction sessions in my private study at home in Wheaton, IL or I am also willing to meet at an outside location of your choosing in Wheaton and the surrounding area. My standard fee is $60/hr, but it is negotiable if needed.

About Me

I believe that the gift of Spiritual Direction is the opportunity to grow in intimacy and friendship with the Lord.

I received spiritual direction training from the Institute of Spiritual Formation at the Talbot School of Theology and completed the program in May 2024.

I firmly believe that God desires intimate relationship and joy-filled friendship with each of His children. One of my favorite things to witness in the spiritual direction process is people discovering the Lord's affection and intentionality for them and their faith. I desire to come alongside others to help them become aware of how God is shaping and molding their journey to bring them deeper into His abundant love.

As a spiritual director, my hope is to partner with the souls I've been entrusted to explore the affection of God, the hope of his love, and the work of His Spirit.

About Me

Are you a church staff member, missionary, or lay leader? Do you find yourself at a place where you have more questions than answers about your relationship with the Lord or your vocation? Do you desire to flourish in your life, your life as a leader? If so, I’d love to sit with you and explore the activity of God in your life.

We’d start with 30-35 minute “get to know you” conversation. If we are a potential match, we will schedule an introductory session. If we are not a fit, but you remain interested in Spiritual Direction, I’d love to connect you to other possibilities. I live in the Central Time Zone in a suburb of Dallas. I meet with people in person, via phone or via Zoom.

My story includes graduating from Fuller Theological Seminary in 2008 with a Master of Arts in Theology. I completed the Selah Spiritual Direction Training Program in 2013. For more insight into my spiritual journey, you are welcome to peruse posts at www.beloved-daughter.blogspot.com.

About Me

We all benefit from spiritual companions along our journey. It is an honor to spend time with people as a spiritual companion, help carry their story and offer a safe place for exploring a deep relationship with God as well as the roadblocks that keep us from the fullness of that relationship. Spiritual Direction positively affects my own spiritual life, helps me grow in understanding myself and in relationship with Jesus. It delights me to offer that to others. I love helping others along their way whether it involves emotional/ spiritual healing or discerning God's movement in life or a desire for deeper relationship (or all of these)! I was trained through Dovehouse Ministries which is an Ignatian program and offer an opportunity to go through the Spiritual Exercises beginning each August. I also offer monthly individual Direction. Prior to becoming a Spiritual Director I was on staff at a church for 15 years and offered pastoral counseling, mental health coaching, trauma groups and individual grief and trauma care.
I have been happily married for 40 years and have 4 wonderful adult children and 6 precious grandchildren. I live in middle Tennessee and enjoy the beauty and changing seasons. I meet with people both in person and online.

About Me

Have you ever felt that you would like to deepen your relationship with God, but don't quite know how to start? Would you like to integrate your faith into your daily life in a more meaningful way?

Working with a spiritual director brings a degree of intentionality to a person's faith journey and provides a level of support when a person may feel stuck in their walk with God. As a spiritual director, I walk alongside individuals on their spiritual journey. I strive to help people take note of the work of God in their lives, and to be aware of what aspects of ministry and discipleship God may be inviting them into. I believe that God is powerful and active in all aspects of a person's life. I see myself as a spiritual companion, helping a person become more aware of their path with God and of His presence in the world.

I hold a Master of Divinity degree and I am a trained spiritual director who has worked with both lay leaders and ministers. I live in Johnson City, TN, with my husband of over 30 years and I have been teaching at a Christian university for 13 years. I have three children and three grandchildren.

About Me

It is my deepest joy to serve as spiritual director in Seattle - either in person or on line.

My underlying conviction is that God is always present, always active, and always loving. I believe that there is much more on offer in our lives with God, if we would only stop and listen, and listen again. I believe that God's doors are already flung open to us and that much of our journey is simply choosing to "begin again". And again. In doing so we learn to walk with the risen Christ in open honesty, free to receive His love. Having drunk deeply of His love we grow in our desire to join Him in relationship and in His projects.

Together, with my wife Renee, we have founded Soul Care Seattle at The Layne: an urban retreat home in Seattle, dedicated as a quiet and safe place for people to explore and deepen their relationship with God in solitude and community. Either virtually or in person, at The Layne, we seek to serve individuals who are in crisis, a season of change, or simply want more out of their relationship with Christ. We have a special heart for companioning those who are in ministry, experience loss and/or infertility, as well as those who identify as LGBT or same sex attracted and their friends and family.

We offer the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola, the 19th Annotation. This 9 month prayer retreat in daily life begins each year in September.

Peace to you-
Dan

About Me

For as long as I can remember, my heart’s desire has been to be with other’s in their spiritual journey. My own journey has fueled a deep knowing of God’s unconditional love that I long to share with others. My husband and I host and live in our Urban Retreat home in Seattle. This is a place that we pray is quiet, restful and safe for all those who are exploring their spiritual journey with God. For some that means exploring who God is and for some it will be a deepening of their relationship with Jesus.

About Me

* I find great value in a slowed-down spirituality where deeper formation in Christ can be developed over time; where “being” is emphasized over “doing”; where I can pay attention to what's stirring in me and around me; where I can name things, think and listen.
* As a result of the formation described above, I also find it important to be led into a way of serving people in the wider world through my gifts.
* I have a high-view of the Scriptures, of abiding, and of Jesus in particular. Daily I am grateful for the Helper, the Holy Spirit.
* I have been trained in the Steward of the Ministry (SOTM) program through Paseo Communities. I have an MA from Denver Seminary ('00), and a BA from Duke University ('87).
* I deeply appreciate being in honest community with safe and trusted others, and helping others experience that. Facilitating a setting where I listen to another person, and together we listen to God is very special and meaningful for me. I appreciate silence and all we can hear in it.

About Me

I love spiritual direction because it has helped me to lean in to recognize the Lord more clearly and follow His voice more freely.

I would love to accompany you on your journey of drawing near to Him.

I have a bachelor’s in Psychology from Regent University. I also value the training I have received through Vineyard Leadership Institute, Columbus School of Supernatural Ministry, and Sustainable Faith’s School of Spiritual Direction.

My training would not be complete without my journey through the wilderness seasons of life and through my own personal transformation.

I also love missions and church planting.

I love spiritual direction because it is an opportunity to set aside everything else and draw near to the Lord together.

I look forward to connecting with you!

About Me

My desire is to provide a safe / sacred environment for women to encounter the Lord in the midst of whatever circumstance or experience they might be facing. It is a delight to sit with someone as they experience God in such a life-giving way and to experience Holy Spirit presence in our midst. Watching another receive from the Lord is a highlight for me as a spiritual director. I would be honored to hear from you and potentially walk with you on your spiritual journey.

I spent several years working at a Christian School, and then served with an organization supporting Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I have been involved in different healing ministries throughout the years, but I became interested in spiritual direction when a friend from church told me about it in 2020. Meeting with my spiritual director has been a positive experience which has helped me to grow spiritually, and I desire to come alongside other women as we pursue God together. The Lord began speaking to me about a new season and I was drawn to begin training for spiritual direction.

My husband and I both grew up in Illinois and currently live in PA. We have been married since 1972 and have 4 married children and 7 grandchildren. Prior to moving to PA, we taught missionary children in Thailand for two years and spent two years in Puerto Rico where we served at Christian schools.

I completed my Spiritual Direction training at Evangelical Theological Seminary in October 2022.

About Me

Hi there! Here is a bit about me

Core Belief:
Your practice is rooted in the profound belief in the power of love and the true words of Jesus Christ. You embrace and embody the message of unconditional love and non-judgment, emphasizing that Jesus calls everyone to be in a loving, intimate community with Him.

Mission:
Your mission is to guide individuals towards experiencing a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus. By cultivating an environment of love, acceptance, and spiritual growth, you help others to connect deeply with Jesus, experiencing His love and presence in their lives.

Approach:

Contemplative Prayer: You lead individuals in contemplative prayer, a form of deep, reflective prayer aimed at quieting the mind and opening the heart to the presence of Jesus. This practice encourages a profound sense of connection and communion with Him.

Active Silence: Through guided sessions of active silence, you help individuals find stillness in the midst of their busy lives. This silence is not merely the absence of noise but a purposeful quieting of the soul to listen for Jesus's voice and feel His love.

Listening: Your practice emphasizes the importance of attentive and compassionate listening. By truly hearing the experiences, struggles, and joys of those you guide, you create a safe space for them to explore their faith and relationship with Jesus.

Examination: You guide individuals in self-examination and reflection, helping them to identify and understand their spiritual experiences, growth areas, and the movements of Jesus in their lives. This process deepens their self-awareness and spiritual journey.

Community Building:
Your practice is not just about individual growth but also about fostering a sense of community among those you guide. You believe that Jesus wants us all to be in community with Him and with each other, loving and supporting one another on our spiritual journeys.

Inclusivity and Love:
At the heart of your practice is an unwavering commitment to love and inclusivity. You welcome all people, regardless of their background or life circumstances, without judgment. Your practice reflects the boundless love of Jesus, inviting everyone to experience His grace and mercy.

Outcome:
Through your spiritual direction, individuals are empowered to deepen their faith, experience the transformative love of Jesus, and live more fulfilled, spiritually enriched lives. They leave with a greater sense of peace, purpose, and connection to Jesus and the community of believers.

About Me

I am a spiritual director based in central Arkansas, where I reside with my wife and two beloved dogs. My spiritual direction practice extends both locally and remotely, allowing me to serve individuals from various locations. Prior to my work as a spiritual director, I dedicated several years to student ministry, which has greatly influenced my approach to accompanying others on their spiritual journeys.

It is a profound honor and source of joy to have the opportunity to join Jesus everyday as he leads others to know him more. I am passionate about utilizing the knowledge and insights I have gained, as well as the ongoing lessons I continue to learn, to bridge the gap between everyday life and a richer theology. My purpose is to support and guide others in discovering a flourishing life with God.

When I am not working, I cherish moments of travel with my wife, immersing ourselves in new experiences and exploring the wonders of the world. Additionally, I find solace and inspiration in the beauty of nature while adventuring outdoors with my faithful canine companions. Nourishing my mind with the wisdom of old books, savoring the delights of coffee, and relishing in the pleasures of good food are also among the simple joys that bring me contentment.

If you seek to delve deeper into the profound love of God, let's embark on this soulful journey together. As your spiritual companion, I'm here to guide, support, and walk alongside you as we explore the boundless grace and wisdom that awaits. Let's uncover the beauty of God's love and discover the extraordinary depths of your soul.

About Me

I love asking questions, listening deeply and helping people discern their next steps. I have served in church and nonprofit settings for more than two decades, including one-on-one discipleship with women, prayer ministry, small groups, youth ministry, church leadership and now spiritual direction. My personal interests are in imaginative prayer, using scripture to access the heart of God, Immanuel prayer and deep inner healing practices.

About Me

Hi, I'm Julie Jaderston

FOLLOWER OF JESUS.
LISTENER.
SOUL FRIEND.

I am a mom, gammy, and avid coffee lover who enjoys listening to people's stories, engaging in long conversations, and going for walks. One of my favorite pastimes is "twalking" (talking while walking), and I have recently taken up pickleball with my husband, who is a college basketball coach. I am his biggest fan, and the girls on his team affectionately call me mama J. "Go Falcons!"

Spiritual direction has profoundly impacted my own life and has now become an essential part of my life as well. During a very difficult season of grief my spiritual director helped me embrace my emotions and experience God's presence amidst the deep sadness and hurt. Through her attentive and nonjudgmental listening, I felt safe to stop, feel, and listen for God's voice. I was given time and space to share my questions, sadness, anger and fears. This spiritual direction journey has opened my soul up in a new and beautiful way, revealing the transformative power of God's love in my life. He can do the same for you.

It fills with me with great joy to help people in all walks of life grow in their faith and draw closer to Jesus. My role as a spiritual director is to create space to meet Jesus, listen for His voice, and to invite Him to be our guide. This is often done through prayer, silence, spiritual exercises and intentional listening. Whether you are grappling with questions or doubts, in a season of transition or grief, or looking to deepen your relationship with God, I would be honored to join you on this journey.

I have had the privilege of serving in various ministry roles over the years including youth pastor, college chaplain, women’s mentoring and discipleship director, retreat speaker, and Bible study leader. I am also available to lead/facilitate a spiritual direction retreat.

I would love to listen together with you and walk alongside you as you navigate your spiritual path.

About Me

I believe that we live in a culture that desires our attention, and, as the writer Matthew Crawford puts it, “attention is a resource -- we only have so much of it.” The Christian mystic Simone Weil viewed attention not as a “muscular effort,” but rather a passive, open waiting. As faithful Christians, we must learn to cultivate that resource of attention, and properly focus it on our creator and savior. We cannot hope to hear and respond to God in a world that seeks to steal our attention at every turn without developing our ability to be attentive, to wait. Spiritual direction provides a means to cultivate our attention, our capacity for open, passive waiting, and direct it toward our Creator.
